Remapping keys on HP Mini 1000 (and others)

[moon_aka_sun]

Ain't it great that on netbook keyboards there are dedicated keys for Pause and ScrLock, but no PgUp, PgDn, Home or End! We can fix it a bit. E.g. Pause will work as Home, and ScrLock as End:

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout
"Scancode Map"=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,03,00,00,00,4F,E0,46,00,47,E0,1D,E1,00,00,00,00

How it works:

Pause:     E1 1D 45 E1 9D C5, may send NumLock as well
C+A+Pause: E0 46
                       btw Win+Pause opens Computer properties.
NumLock:   00 45
ScrLock:   00 46
Del:       E0 53
Home:      E0 47
End:       E0 4F

00 00 00 00  Header
00 00 00 00  Version
03 00 00 00  Number of DWORDs to follow
4F E0 46 00  ScrollLock (00 46) into End (E0 4F)
47 E0 1D E1  Pause (E1 1D [45 E1 9D C5]) into Home (E0 47)
00 00 00 00  Null Termination

There are also programs for this, like KeyTweak, SharpKeys.

Some netbooks, like HP Mini 311, have Fn button, which coupled with up/down/left/right does pgup/pgdown/home/end. MacBooks work same way - need to use "option" ("alt") and "command" ("windows key") in combination with the arrows. It's not that bad.

Так неудобно, что Fn+стрелки! Да еще приходится двумя руками. При этом гуляет место над стрелками и еще огромный Shift там. В общем, незачёт.
