![]() One point for those new to PowerToys: Keyboard Manager must be enabled (with PowerToys running in the background) for remapped keys and shortcuts to be applied. ![]() ![]() In Word 2003 for example, this is under Tools > Customize > Keyboard (where the required shortcuts are present by default, but you can add to them if so desired). If necessary you can install them in any program that allows you to customize keyboard shortcuts. This works for me in Word and in R (everything I tested), where the start/end of document keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+home, Ctrl+end) seem to be installed by default. In my case, after using Powertoys as above:Ĭtrl+Win+left takes the cursor to start of document, andĬtrl+Win+right takes the cursor to end of document. Just press and hold Ctrl, then use your chosen shortcuts for home or end. You do not need fancy Autotype scripts (or anything extra) for this. The reason is that Powertoys does not offer StartofDoc or EndofDoc as “Mapped To” options but these are pre-installed in many programs, using the Ctrl key. You can map any combination you like, but it is best to avoid use of the Ctrl key. I use Win+left = Home, Win+right = End, Win+ up = Page Up, Win+down = Page Down. In any case the problem can easily be solved without use of AutoHotKey, by Windows users at least, using Microsoft PowerToys > Keyboard Manager > Shortcuts as mentioned above by Riz. This is a problem with many compact keyboards, because they lack dedicated “Home”’, “End”, “Page Up” and “Page Down” keys.ĭoesn’t use of AutoHotKey open up some increased risks from hacking? ToolTip, Laptop PrtScr/Insert remapping disabled. Disable the Printscreen and Insert key mapping. Ctrl-Shift-Win-z = Ctrl-Shift-Home = select to start of document Shift-Win-z = Shift-Home = select to start of line The F11 key The F11 key allows you to activate full-screen mode in your browser. In Word, you can use F10 with the Ctrl key to maximize or minimize a window. If you combine it with the Shift key, you can perform the function of a right-click without using a mouse. Ctrl-Win-z = Ctrl-Home = start of document To access a browser’s menu bar, simply press the F10 function key. I had to do a bit more work to answer in order to make Ctrl-End, Shift-End, and Ctrl-Shift-End work though: I used AutoHotKey to map Win-x to End, and Win-z to Home. I had the same problem admittedly with a crappy Chinese imitation of an Apple mini keyboard (there literally is no model or manufacturer identifier on it whatsoever).
