I used to have one of those gaming keyboards that lets you reprogram any key - I’m back to just a standard keyboard, but this seems like the kind of thing a modern computer should be able to do without a “gaming” peripheral.

What I’d really like to do is rebind my caps lock key, because the only time I ever use caps lock is on accident lol. Hoping to rebind it to be my push-to-talk key, so if I could make it do something like a zero-width-space that’ll basically turn it into an input key that does nothing except when I tell something like Discord to use that as ptt.

I’m only surface-level competent with computers, so explain-like-I’m-your-grandma or I’ll probably fuck something up.

Thanks all!!

    Good idea, but for some reason a lot of the keys are blocked from being rebound, and caps lock is one of them. Another poster suggested SharpKeys, which appears to effectively be the the same thing, minus the odd restrictions, and it did the trick.

    But thank you!
