Thank you so much for your time and effort! You're a true pillar of the Colemak community. I tried the AHK options, and I'm pretty sure the registry remapping is what SharpKeys tries to do (and fails) - right? All of this is just using the stock Colemak layout installer from the site, Windows 8, EN_US, with MS Natural 4000. RAlt: '(E0_2038)' - it does recognize this one, oddly enough, but not as RAlt.Īnd finally, LCtrl + RAlt: '(E0_2038)', just like RAlt on its own. The dialog don't even change - it's as if it doesn't register the keystroke at all (and that key does work for menus etc.) Specifically, here's what SharpKeys have to say about my keys:

I don't mind that so much because I don't use the right alt+ctrl - but why do the _left_ ones act so strangely?Īnother interesting note: I tried remapping the right alt key using the SharpKeys utility, but when I press it SharpKeys simply doesn't recognize it! It's as if it's some exotic key it's never seen before and isn't on the list.

Note the three lines of code produced by a single keystroke - meaning, I get an 'LControl u' event as well.
