The advantages of Key Remapper:
- It also allows to remap mouse buttons and mouse wheel actions.
- Remappings can be restricted to specific programs or windows.
- Key Remapper does not alter the scan codes stored in the registry and does not require the system to be restarted in order to apply mapping changes.

It's been a long time i'm using GlovePIE, especially to remap keys/mouse buttons for gaming.
It's free, easy to use and working almost without a flaw (only recognizes QWERTY keyboards)

- We don't use subscriptions.
- After you purchase the software it may be used indefinitely.
- Upgrades to future versions of the software will be free for the lifetime of the product.
- Support is provided for the lifetime of the product.

ATNSOFT has replied to this comment by xenox:
"After you purchase the software it may be used indefinitely" but this avoids answering whether or not the same applies to today's giveaway.

Specifically, for today's free giveaway of Key Remapper 1.9, what happens after one year? Does it stop working or not? That's really what people are asking here, not about what happens if you pay for a license.

What do you mean with "THIS" ?
When somebody will gives alternatives , it would be great to show everybody the right way.
Thanks!

Hi, I have no opinion on the offered software but to answer the 'Microsoft alternative' question, he probably means this:

Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator 1.4 [Download Link]

and this is a useful (kinda generic) guide:

The Ultimate Guide To Keyboard Remapping
http://www.ghacks.net/2010/06/06/the-ultimate-guide-to-keyboard-remapping/

ReactOS is trying to create as a replacement for Windows, and Colibri -like new system for mobile systems (like Android).

@ bvssunnydale Don't think so, this gotd is not for changing a complete keyboard layout; the object of the gotd is different and it works different. F.i. You can let the gotd assign keys to keyboardcombinations or vice versa that only work in one specified program. It can even react to the name of a window and associate keys accordingly.

You can try Key Manager – a more functional version of the program Key Remapper that, in addition to remapping keys and mouse buttons, has many other useful functions. For example, Key Manager allows you to remap combinations of keys and mouse buttons, key and mouse button sequences, and long presses (press and hold). You can show your actions in the form of pop-up menus that can be opened with hotkeys, record, edit, and execute macros (key sequences), type and paste text (including formatted text), instantly fill in forms on websites, launch programs, open websites (you can insert currently selected text into their address parameters), change the layout and case of selected text, manage the power settings of your monitor and computer, control the volume or set it at a certain level, move and resize windows, and much more.

@ATNSOFT: Key Manager may be useful - but 50$ for it - never in my life...for all the functions I use since years good freeware.

@Framk: Key Manager may be useful - but 50$ for it - never in my life...for all the functions I use since years good freeware.

Time is much more expensive!

From Key Manager testimonials:

Thank you very much! I use Key Manager in my accounting application to accept orders. Your program lets me make six less keystrokes after choosing each item, and there are about 50 of them, with 20-30 orders a day. That makes up for SEVEN THOUSAND unnecessary keystrokes daily that I don't have to make thanks to your program!

I also use Autohotkey to keep NumLock turned on, so the number pad is used to enter numbers, as it is supposed to do. I will also lock into that
program called NumLocker .. it sounds like a nice little item to try.

Yes, for anyone who wants to keep this program's abilities free after the year, or just wants to skip this program, autohotkey is a great alternative.

Coding in it is super easy. This literally makes pressing Ctrl+X always act as Ctrl+C:

^x::Send ^c

And there's loads more possibilities. Keyboard remapping is pretty straightforward and easy. And when you get comfortable with that, you can naturally progress in complexity to the point where you make full-fledged programs. I've made calendars that give me reminders and can set up to notify me through email; I've made it so I can type in any color I want in Microsoft Word without having to keep hitting that dang font color button whenever I jump around a pre-made file (great for students doing digital homework); I've made a probability calculator for a game; and most importantly as a student, I've made annotating PDF documents a breeze by setting up hotkeys to activate different functions like highlighting and inserting text. And that is all without taking any formal education, and barely any informal education, into any other programming language.

agree, the new format is very tiring for the eyes on PCs, maybe they did it for tablet, but this section is for Windows software and 95% of Windows users are on PCs, not tablets (and even if they use convertibles they mainly use them in laptop mode, with a keyboard). Coupled with the disappearance of Karl and his great reviews, this makes me much less willing to check this site daily. And even the ios/android section is disturbing, trying to have you install a downloader etc. Personally I just have a look at the offers and then will directly install them from the respective itunes pages etc. I will never install their software.
As for this software, it can come handy, but 1-year license, no thanks

I've just remapped F3 to Ctrl+C (Copy to clipboard) and F4 to Ctrl+V (Paste) - it is very convenient!!!

Exactly, i miss the old version so much. There's something wrong in the color combos in this version.

I like the new modern look of this site now, it's easy to see and everything is in front of you,

I agree absolutely.
Message to GOTD.........."If it isn't broken, don't fix it"

The new layout is much cleaner and better organised, even if it is a bit large.

Used to come back many times in the day to read the comments but with this new interface I find it too hard on the eyes to do so.
Having worked on web interface designs frankly I do not find this design acceptable.

Think I understand what the problem is from my point of view; the right side of the screen is so large that one eye is viewing one side and the other eye the other making a most uncomfortable experience.
Reckon I'm viewing this site 1/10th of the time I used to spend on it.

It's the new look of the web which has been adopted by most websites and soon by all. I like it even though I was uncomfortable with it the first time. If you don't fight it and accept it you'll come to think it's cool.

Count me as one of the visitors that preferred the old format much better than the new one. Perhaps the old eyes would have grown use to it.

Same here, prefer old school. It looked fine on large monitor, this size is ridic.

I agree. When I landed here I felt like I landed on some generic website. Now GATD looks like every other website. Plus the comments are too bunched up on the page.

You can easily deal with Num Lock, Scroll Lock , and Caps Lock using a little program called NumLocker. It's free and you can find it on the web.
I have no connection with the developer, but I have been using it for a long time. It's perfect.

I've used this very tiny freebie for over a decade: http://www.brainsystems.com/capsunlock/
I set it up so that, to actually invoke caps-lock, you have to use the shift key along with the caps-lock key (caps lock key alone does nothing).

Thanks Roy, capsunlock works great.

@lofty if your using Windows 10 just right click on the clock and chose properties it will bring up a page that has some choices chose turn system icons on or off and there you can turn off the clock and other icons you may find annoying
