InterceptKeys

Create your own key/shortcuts by remapping them using necessary scan codes. It's basically PowerToys' Keyboard Manager but at the global level i.e. mapped key/shortcuts are what received by all apps (games included).

Installation

1. Install interception driver as specified and restart.
2. Go to Releases, download InterceptKeys_release_x64.7z and extract to a folder.
3. Configure any mappings you want.
4. Open Command Prompt (cmd.exe) as admin in the folder and run command: InterceptKeys.exe install. Follow the instructions and it'll be done.
5. It'll install InterceptKeysService to ensure it auto starts and run in background all the time.

Uninstallation

1. Open Command Prompt (cmd.exe) as admin in the folder and run command: InterceptKeys.exe uninstall. Follow the instructions and it'll be done. This would remove the InterceptKeysService.
2. To uninstall interception driver, follow the steps mentioned in the repo's docs.
3. Restart your computer.

Mapping

1. Make sure you know the scan codes of the required keys. If not, read this...
2. Open mapping.toml and add mappings.
3. [[mappings]] is an array, consisting of from, to and priority.
4. The keys format should be [_MODIFIER_KEY1_, ..., _MODIFIER_KEY4_, _REGULAR_KEY_], i.e. max of 5 key strokes.
5. The entries are set on a priority basis. Mappings with least priority are first to be triggered.
6. Here are some samples...
7. After you've done mapping, simply run: InterceptKeys.exe to test if everything's working fine.

Finding Scan Codes

1. In Command Prompt (cmd.exe), run this command: InterceptKeys.exe --detect-keys-only
2. Now, the program would detect all your key/shortcut clicks. This would help you find the desired scan code (inside parenthesis).

Caution

This tool alters kernel-level keyboard input globally — incorrect mappings can disable essential keys. Use carefully and test thoroughly to avoid losing control of your system.
