Question
This question might not seem programming related at first, but let me explain.
I'm stuck with using a keyboard that doesn't have home end page up and page down buttons. I need those functions for programming.
So the question is: what's a good/free utility to define system wide shortcuts and macros in vista? Mapping for example "ctrl/left arrow to home, ctrl/right arrow to end would solve my problem.
Solution
AutoHotKey is the most configurable I know...
[EDIT] Another neat utility is Microsoft Keyboard Layout creator
OTHER TIPS
AutoHotkey worked out great. Here's the script I'm using:
#Right::End
#Left::Home
#Up::PgUp
#Down::PgDn
#BS::Del
This maps "Win"+"right arrow" to "end", etc... this made the Apple bluetooth wireless keyboard usable for programming. Thanks for the suggestions!
I have not used this personally, but I believe the Key Transformation application will help you out:
