I remember using the MS Keyboard Layout Creator long ago before I purchased and imported british keyboards, I made use of the alt-gr key in those days and I remapped the '\' to the 'z' key when a user holds down the alt-gr key. And I wasn't sure if sharpkeys was Windows 7 compatible so I had to ask and make sure

However, I couldn't find the right-click menu key listed as an available key when I looked through the 'Map this key (From key):' section, unless the key has a different name?

Edit: I found it! I apparently wasn't paying attention to the Type Key button, silly me.

And I just edited my post before your reply came in, what fast timing!

And yes I just stumbled upon that setting before you could post your response.

Now I can remap it to the 'micro symbol' key, but what if I want to remap the key multiple times, like say I wanted to press the key for a different symbol if I were to hold down the shift key and/or the alt-gr key?

Edit: Sharpkeys is telling me that I typed a key that it doesn't know about, of course it does say (E0_205D) when I held the alt-gr key and pressed the menu key. Any way to get around it or I can't map my key this way?

____________________

I looked carefully in the 'MSKLC' utility and didn't see a way to map the menu key action when holding down alt-gr, since the menu key wasn't listed in the picture diagram.

So then I'm not going to be able to map the menu key when holding down the alt-gr key and shift key?
Unless I overlooked something in Sharpkeys or MSKLC?

Sorry I keep bringing up this thread to the top.

I checked that option too, but I'm still not presented with a way to edit the Windows Logo key and the Menu key, I will printscreen what I'm talking about in a moment when this post is finished being written.

Edit: Printscreened and uploaded to my 'BunnyPile', here's a screenshot:

Unfortunately, you've run into one of the limitations of Windows’ keyboard layouts... the Windows logo and menu keys cannot be changed to produce a different character; however, they can be changed using SharpKeys to produce a different scancode (like when I changed the menu key to the §/± key on my Windows keyboard, for example.)

Still, I wanted to be able to change what symbol gets produced when the alt-gr key is held down, but I suppose I can live without that key action that I tried to achieve. Thanks for your help Schala, really appreciated!

In the meantime, I'll have to fiddle around with Sharpkeys to see if I can find a manual way of changing that one action I desire, it should be easy to change once I find what I'm looking for in the windows registry.
