A simple tool to do the basic keyboard configuration tasks that Windows can't easily do.

• Map CapsLock to Hyper, to finally make good use of that pointless key.
• Map Right Alt to AltGr, to allow using international keyboard layouts with a PC104 keyboard.
• Map Left Command to Alt, Left Option to Win, Right Command to Alt (or AltGr), and Right Option to Menu, to make Apple keyboards actually conform to the established standard every other OS expects.
• xev-like event spy using a tooltip that follows your mouse cursor.

Windows cannot add more modifier keys, but it doesn't mean you can't bind combinations of existing modifiers under a single key press. KeebMangler binds Hyper as CtrlAltShiftWin, which is guaranteed to not collide with any existing shortcuts.

Configuration is persistently stored in %APPDATA%/keebmangler.ini.

This tool has been made possible by AutoHotKey.

How to defeat the Office key: Explorer automatically binds CtrlAltShiftWin (aka what most people bind to Hyper, including KeebMangler) to Office. ExplorerPatcher now implements the ability to block Explorer from binding it, leaving it free to be used by you.

Behold the official Office key docs, and notice the lack of justification on why Microsoft thought this was a good idea, or why they think we needed dedicated LinkedIn or Yammer keys.
