I have been using KeyTweak to bind the capslock key on my mechanical keyboard to control, because it makes it easier to make control groups since the caps lock key is closer to numbers than the left control key is. I am trying to figure out a way to easily play with this configuration at tournaments away from my own computer, where KeyTweak isn't loaded. Does anyone know of a way to do that?

I rebound Capslock to right shift changing Registry values.

Guide here (there is a premade Capslock to Ctrl reg file already made that you can use right off) http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/disable-caps-lock-key-in-windows-vista/

Don't know if tournaments will allow it though

If you have macs at your tournament you can swap the two keys using System Preferences/Keyboard/Modifier Keys... Not sure where the equivalent is on Windows.

noone will ever have macs at a tournament. Ever.

You will not be able to do this seeing how I don't think tournament advisors/owners arent gonna let you go into the registry or load a special program onto their computer. Find a way to utilize some other key.

Slightly related; i play using the two buttons on the side of my deathadder as ctrl and shift, makes everything much easier, and i reckon some tournaments would probably allow it as you can change the bindings just with the driver software.
Maybe a similar setup would work for you?

I don't think 1:1 remaps on keys are against Blizzard TOS.
Same with the extra mousebuttons.

I feel abit bad about mouseweel rebinds, but thats grayzone and i think you will never get banned for that either.

Remapping keys is not against the ToS, as long as its a 1:1 ratio and not a macro that is.

That seems kind of cool. I wonder how long it would take to reprogram my muscle memory though. It's on an entirely different hand . . .

I wish I could just remake the keyboard. I don't know why windows doesn't make it easier to remap keys than rooting around in the registry.

Simple, you can change your global hotkeys... so instead of hotkey X to 1 being Ctrl+1 it would be Capslock+1... ect

then blizzard saves your hotkey profile... so u can use it on any computer...

Edit: nvm...you can make yourown keyboard layout and have it so caps=ctrl then put it on a flashdrive and then its pretty easy to put on any computer. I did that when i was learning colemak (which was a horrible desicion), after bout a month i switched back to qwerty.

What exactly do you put on the flashdrive? Can I do it at an MLG for instance?

IF you go into your language settings you can choose keyboard layout, basicly you create a new layout and it add's it to the language settings. there's a program you can DL that let's you make new keyboard layout (forgot name) but if you go to mlg you would need the program and the keyboard layout. you load up the layout on the program, then you publish it, and it adds to the keyboard layout section.

EDIT: heres the link to the program.http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/goglobal/bb964665

Does anyone else think that MLG should have something like this preinstalled on all their computers? If people can load mouse drivers I don't see why I should be restricted from changing my keyboard layout.
