I've got a Samsung Slate Windows 8 tablet. There is no break/pause key on the bluetooth keyboard. How can I remap those keys or is there a work around? These keys are relevant to programmers as they are often used in debugging and process interruption.
Answer
As a workaround you can remap keys using Autohotkey. It is a very powerful tool for keyboard tweaking and lightweight too.
You can map any Key or combination of keys to work as Pause/Break.
It uses syntax: OriginKey::DestinationKey for remapping.
Replace OriginKey by the key you want to use as Pause/Break. (say Ctrl+Alt+a)
and replace DestinationKey with Pause/Break.
^+a::Break
Above AHK script will cause Ctrl+Alt+a to send Break keypress.
