Keyboard remapping in Win 7
I would like to remap a single key to produce multiple keystrokes, such as having "." on the numeric keypad produce ".com". Do any keyboard mapping programs allow this ? Also, could I remap a key to do that and click on the mouse, too ? SinisterLefty (talk) 02:51, 24 October 2019 (UTC)
 * AutoHotkey (documentation) lets you create hotkeys to type certain lines of text, run a program or batch file, or create shortcuts for specific programs. You can even have one hotkey perform multiple actions in a series.. DroneB (talk) 09:29, 24 October 2019 (UTC)

 * Just learn AHK :) It's so versatile I can't imagine using Windows without it. 93.136.155.134 (talk) 00:28, 29 October 2019 (UTC)

 * Tried it. Worked in most places, but not in a game I tried: defly.io at coolmathgames.com. Tried running as Admin and as a compiled script, and both at once. Is there something else I could try ? SinisterLefty (talk) 01:15, 30 October 2019 (UTC)
