Perhaps I&#x27;m missing something but isn&#x27;t there already pretty much the same functionality available when you press just [Win] (instead of [Win]-[R]) and start typing?<p>&gt; Keys will be remapped as long as the Keyboard Manager and PowerToys are running in the background, and you can swap individual keys and even Windows shortcuts.<p>Keys can already be remapped via a Registry entry under <i>HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout</i>, which does not require anything running in the background, although this works for individual keys only.<p>There is even a great GUI utility to simplify creating the correct Registry entries: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;randyrants&#x2F;sharpkeys" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;randyrants&#x2F;sharpkeys</a>
