reassign [back]/[forward] keys to [pgup]/[pgdn] on T42p

#1 Post by firefan » Tue Feb 15, 2005 6:53 pm

Hello,

I would like to reassign the browser [back] and [forward] keys next to the arrow keys on my T42p keyboard to [pgup] and [pgdn]. Does anyone know how I can do that? The IBM keyboard customizer utility doesn't reassign browser keys. Thanks!

Google and download "Keytweak" and use it to reassign the "web navigation keys."

Keytweak has the added benefit of changing the key functions in the registry, so it's not a process that has to be kept running in the background, like the IBM utility is. My web-back key is reassigned to left-arrow (as a redundant check against accidentally hitting it while typing in a form), and my web-forward key is my Windows key.
