I have a new laptop and it has a horrible placment of a key where the left
shift should be. I am always hitting the "\" instead of "left shift" which
is not a double sized key like it is on the right shift. Also to make the
keybord layout really dumb, this same key is duplicated on the right side of
the keyboard as well, so it is completly un-needed where it is and is totally
messing me up.
Anyway, I have found tools that will let you do what I want in XP, but they
dont work in vista. Of course the laptop came with vista. I just want this
slash key to actually do the function of shifting.
Any suggestions?
