Control H

Hey guys, is there any way to change the keyboard so that I can use Control H as a backspace? It's the only feature missing to make Editor2 the perfect editor for me.

I've been using Wordstar based editors since the early 80's and that's the one feature I can't get away from.

I don't care if it's an add on program, remapping the keyboard, or what, I just want to know if there is any way to do this.

Thanks,

Wes Medlin

editor2 doesn't support keyboard customization and even if it did the backspace key is handled by the richedit control itself, so i'm afraid this isn't possible at all

AutoHotkey will do this.

Code: Select all

; Remap Backspace to Ctrl+H
$^h::
    IfWinActive, ahk_class ATL:00415D00
    {
        Send, {Backspace}
        return

    }
    Send, ^h
    return

Thank you both for the replies. I will try the Autokey app, and see how well it works.

And for such a cool product. I've gotten a lot of good use out of it over the years.

You can also try AutoIt ( http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/ ). I used to use Autohotkey but I have switched to AutoIt recently.
