How to reprogram a keyboard shortcut or a function key?

I have been all over the Internet trying to learn how to either create a new keyboard shortcut or reprogram a function key on my Lenovo Ideapad laptop, which runs on Windows 11. One promising Microsoft page I found here, entitled "Customize keyboard shortcuts" (for Word and probably Outlook Classic 365, which I use) sent me to File > Options > Customize Ribbon. On that screen there was supposed to be a "Keyboard shortcuts: Customize" button, but there is no such button in my app.

Another promising Microsoft page, called "How do you change the keyboard shortcuts," located here, said the following:
  1. Open Settings: Press Windows key + I to open the Settings menu.
  2. Go to Accessibility: In the Settings menu, select "Accessibility".
  3. Find Keyboard Settings: Under Accessibility, click on "Keyboard".
  4. Enable Shortcut Customization: Scroll down to the "Keyboard shortcuts" section and toggle the switch to enable customization.
  5. Remap Keys: Click on "Remap a key" and select the key you want to change. Assign the correct function (e.g., volume control).
  6. Save and Apply Changes: Save your changes and test the new shortcuts to make sure they work as expected.
I got as far as step 4, but there was no "Keyboard Shortcuts" section; there was only a section called "Finding keyboard shortcuts." Clicking on that "button" led to a page on which a small number of standard keyboard shortcuts were listed (CTRL + C, CTRL + X, etc.). There was no mention of how to create a custom keyboard shortcut.

I found similarly promising instructions related to reassigning Fn keys, but none of them worked, either.

What would be most helpful to me is a hotkey or keyboard shortcut I could use to go directly to a document file I use a lot or even just to my Desktop. Is there no hope of achieving this?

Thanks!

Oh my God, badrobot, it's a miracle! 😄 Thank you, thank you, thank you for solving this problem so clearly and elegantly. I could not be more delighted!

I hope I wrote this in the right place...

Thank you, antspants! (I don't know how to reply to a post without quoting the post.) I appreciate this information about the scancode map, but it will take some time for me to see if it's something I would dare to do. It makes me nervous to do things to the registry. I'll try to get my courage up!

The utility that antspants linked to does the registry editing for you. It's much safer than trying to remap a key yourself. What badrobot posted is handy for creating a keyboard combination for a shortcut, but sometimes you want to remap a key for other purposes. That's what the utility antpants linked is for.

Here is an example: Disable Caps Lock & Windows Keys

Install, Scancode Map

Open the app
  1. Click on the Plus symbol The "New" box will open
  2. In the "From" section, start typing "Left Windows" or use the drop arrow to select "Left Windows"
  3. In the "To" section start typing or use the drop arrow to select "Disable"
  4. Select OK
There are usually two Win keys

Repeat for "Right Windows" if you also have a problem accidently tapping that key.

You can also just assign a remap by clicking the Plus Symbol +
Selecting the "From" drop down box, pick a key
Then select the "To" drop down box, choose a remap key

Example:
From F10 key (or whatever key you want to remap)
To Keypad 7 Home key

And remember to click Apply, reboot or log out and back in when finished.

You can remap (change) any key, it really is the simplest process to do. If you decide it’s something you would like to use to remap (change) a key and you have problems, we’re here.

Scancode Map, thanks to @pseymour I found a way to disable or remap keys quickly

Hi Antspants, besides remapping keys, can this Scancode also be used to assign a keyboard shortcut to open a specific file (text or sheet file)? That's what the OP is trying to accomplish.

Nope, the scancodes just remap what a key does. Make F12 act like Caps Lock, for example.

But actually I missed this part...

What would be most helpful to me is a hotkey or keyboard shortcut I could use to go directly to a document file I use a lot or even just to my Desktop. Is there no hope of achieving this?

Windows Key + D will take you to your desktop, or Windows Key + M will minimize everything, which is in effect the same thing.

Nope, the scancodes just remap what a key does. Make F12 act like Caps Lock, for example.

But actually I missed this part...



Windows Key + D will take you to your desktop, or Windows Key + M will minimize everything, which is in effect the same thing.
Ok, not sure if the OP got her answer already. I thought i did help her with what she wanted but this thread is still open and unsolved.

    …still on a horse.

I have just gotten this message re Win key +D. Fantastic!

As the OP (or, I assume, original poster), I consider the question regarding keyboard shortcuts to be closed. Is there a way for me to signal that?

I'm still looking into the suggestions re remapping the Fn keys and have downloaded the files scancodemap111.exe and scancodemap111.zip.

Many thanks to badrobot, antspants (Sinto?) & pseymour!
