Using config.txt
Wherever dual-key-remap.exe is run, it will look for a file called config.txt
in the same directory. An example of this file looks like this:
remap_key=CAPSLOCK
when_alone=ESC
with_other=CTRL
remap_key=SHIFT
when_alone=SPACE
with_other=SHIFT
debug=1
This file is case sensitive and does not allow extraneous characters (except empty lines).
The following configuration options are available (they are required unless noted otherwise):
remap_key
: Key that will trigger the dual key functionality.
when_alone
: Key that will triggered when remap_key
is pressed alone.
with_other
: Key that will be triggered if another key is pressed while remap_key
is held down.
debug
: (Optional) Either 1
or 0
. If enabled the application will output detailed activity logs.
You may remap any amount of keys by simply declaring the remap-key, when_alone, with_other
settings multiple times, as seen in the example above.
Certain modifiers have left and right variations. If you do not specify the which side you're remapping dual-key-remap will assume you're referring to the left key. To remap both sides simply add two remappings to your config.
