Dear Community,

I have purchased a bluetooth keyboard, which its "escape" key only functions with fn key, and the default function for the escape key is a search or home. (I dont know what it is, I don't think it's supposed to be compatible with Windows. The keyboard was designed this way because i guess it's a low-profile slim keyboard)

this is really a bothersome, so I was looking for a free program that enables me to assign a custom hotkeys on any keys on keyboard.

Please help!

Thank you
 
Solution
1- Download autohotkey and install it.
2- Create a new txt file and rename it to "Escape.ahk" or any other name (but it must end in a .ahk extension).
3- Open that newly created file in notepad and type this in it:
Esc::WinClose, A
4- Save the changes we did in the file, then close it.
5- Double click the file so that it will run in AutoHotkey.
6- Try the escape button in any window/browser/application.


Will this "auto hot key" be able to change the current "escape"key's function (the function I do not know about) to an actual "escape" function?
