Generally, Keyboard remapping is the way of altering the current keystrokes sequence, the sequence of keystrokes can be a single key or a key combination with Shift, Ctrl, or Alt. Keyboard remapping allows you to associate a sequence of keystrokes with a particular action, typing the keystrokes causes the action to occur. The action can be a display of a character, execute a host function, execute a custom function, or execute a menu command. In Windows 10 or Windows 11, there is no inbuild app or software to remap a key. But you can remap a keyboard using third-party software. There are many third-party keyboard remapping software available on the internet. But in this article, I am going to show how to Remap Keyboard Keys using PowerToys in Windows 10/11.
