Keyboard

[Guest]

Are there ways to re-assign useless keys on the keyboard? My work requires
the extensive use of the escape key but this is awkward as a leftie. There
are two keys to the right of the spacebar, between the Alt Gr and the Ctrl
keys, which are wasted. Can I re-assign one of these as a ADDITIONAL escape
key?
