That's more elegant than my solution, which was to pop the key cap off with a butter knife.

You can use PowerToys from the Microsoft store just permanently remap the key to a different function.

I just buy mechanical keyboards - so the whole key switch can be removed, and then my keyboard has a pirate smile. Which makes me laugh, so I don't actually fix it.

Remapping would be prettier, but sometimes, I just wanna be a pirate, ya know?

Bummer for laptops, unless you use a USB keyboard anyway, like me

I did this to my Caps lock button lol. It's nice having an extra Shift in pinky finger range for my small-ass hands. xD

Powertoys really is the GOAT. So many useful (and mostly lightweight) tools.

Can I also do that to remap the fucking keyboard mounted power buttons?

If so, will it still turn the laptop on?

Now that I do not know. Feel like you shouldn't attempt it unless you have an external option.

I did that to my bluetooth keyboards fullscreen button because it turns off my raspberry pi 4 every time its pressed.

Never understood why but occasional the pi freezes and pressing that button auto shuts it down.
