Remap key combinations in Windows

Question

This question is similar to this one, but the accepted solution doesn't work in my case.

I work on two different laptops. On one, the Home and End keys are only available by pressing Fn+Left and Fn+Right. This can make it rather annoying when switching between the two since I always go to press Fn-Right and not get what I want.

The tool suggested in the other question is Sharpkeys, however it doesn't recognise Fn+Right as a different key from Right, and I suspect that registry twiddling isn't going to help me here. (?)

Is there any way to remap this combination?

(I'm on Windows Vista if that helps)

Solution

Unfortunately for you fn keys are not passed to the OS and are all translated in the hardware (/ firmware) before the OS sees it.

Your best bet that you may not like is just to use a external keyboard. I use one and would not go back to using the laptop keyboard if I did not have to!

It doesn't allow remapping Fn key combinations.
