windows - Mapping Ctrl+Arrow for Home/End/PageUp/Down



I'm using Windows 7 on Dell New Inspiron 14z Ultrabook.
It doesn't have Home/End/PgUp/PgDn keys. Instead I have to use Fn + arrow keys.



Can I re-map those to Ctrl + arrows or Alt + arrows or Shift + arrows?




That way I could go one page up and down with only my right hands rather than with the left hand on the Fn key and right hand on arrow key.



Also, volume up and down is assigned to FnF11 and FnF12. Can I re-map them to F11 and F12? Existing functions assigned to F11 and F12 will be replaced by FnF11 and FnF12.



Is it possible?


Answer



Sure, but you'll need to use a third party program such as AutoHotkey.
For example if you wanted to map Ctrl + Up up to pg up and Ctrl + down to Pg Dn you would write:




^{Up}::{PgUp}
^{Down}::{PgDown}


in your AHK file. See the Remap Reference.



I've come to understand that recent versions no longer recognize this, It seems page Up and down have been changed. Try this if the above does not work:



^Up::PgUp
^Down::PgDn



Make sure you run as administrator in Windows Vista/7/8
