I want to use the top row shortcuts without holding ctrl, like how chromeOS treats it by default. How can I do this?
Right now you have to live with it, unless you either figure out a solution for remapping (needs technical knowledge) or wait for an update
I also want to be able to remap the Home/End shortcuts…
Do you think using the older Croskeyboard 3.5.2 would work instead of the latest version?
I managed to install croskeyboard 3.5.2 from this archived link. I had to extract the driver files out of the exe, modify the inf file to change the Hardware ID, then install the driver and utility separately, so then it would work without errors.
It doesn’t work perfectly, but I do have a bit more control of the key mappings. Unfortunately I’m stuck with the “Test Mode” watermark on my desktop. I don’t think this was worth the effort.
If someone can direct me on how to make my own croskeyboard4 mapping through VivaldiKeyboardTester, that would be nice. I’d prefer to not use AutoHotkey.
you can’t really do it with every key on the top row, but you can use autohotkey to rebind f9 (volume down (for me)) and f10 (volume up (for me))
just go to this site (https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/v1/KeyList.htm), and find the category “multimedia keys” (still not every single key but better than nothing)
you can search a guide on YouTube like “how to remap key to something else in autohotkey”
