You’ll want to pick a permanent spot for this, probably not on your desktop, because I’ll show you how to get this script to run at startup later. The next step is to save the script so that it can be run. In a blank document, type the key’s reference name followed by “ ::return”.Ĭan you believe that’s the only line of code you need to disable the key? If you decide that you want to disable more than one, you can repeat this same one-liner, on a new line, for each additional key. The left column shows the reference name(s) and the right column shows what key it corresponds with. On this page, you can see that AutoHotKey references that key as “ CapsLock”.
Head over to the AutoHotKey documentation website to find a list of all supported keys.įor the sake of this example, we want to disable the Caps Lock key. The first step is to pick out which keys you want to disable. Learning a programming language is hard, but we’re here to simplify how you can use the powers of AutoHotKey to disable the input of any of your keyboard’s keys.
Think of AutoHotKey as a simplified programming language that caters specifically to automation and creating Windows keyboard shortcuts. AutoHotKey allows you to create your own custom scripts that it will compile and run. Now that you’ve downloaded AutoHotKey, it’s important to understand what it does. We don’t need to launch AutoHotKey just yet. When the installation is complete, you can close out of it entirely. return keysDown.Contains(Keys.Continue through the installation prompts using the default options, shown above. If (keysDown.Contains(Keys.LControlKey) || return keysDown.Contains(Keys.LShiftKey) Private static void HookManager_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e) Private static void HookManager_KeyUp(object sender, KeyEventArgs e) Do what you want when this key combination is pressedĮlse if (e.Ke圜ode = Keys.Left & WIN()) Used for overriding the Windows default hotkeys Private static void HookManager_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e) public static List keysDown = new List() I've also created a generic list so that I know which keys are currently down and I remove those keys from the list on the KeyUp event. You can also add mouse events, but for simplicity I'm just showing the keyboard hook. HookManager.KeyDown += HookManager_KeyDown HookManager.KeyPress += HookManager_KeyPress It's worth noting here that if you subscribe to the Key_Press event then it will break the international accent keys. Once you have those classes in your project you can add handlers to the static HookManager class like below. This will even override hotkeys which you added via RegisterHotKey Win API. You can use this to override whichever keys you'd like.
Using the below code will prevent the WIN+ LEFT or WIN+ RIGHT from occurring.
A good hook class for this can be found on this CodeProject Article It is possible to do this using a keyboard hook.
