I need more keys. Currently I have to use a lot of awkward key combinations for shortcuts like Shift+F6 to rename a variable or Alt+Shift+F to format a document. My life would be a lot easier if I could just press a single key for shortcuts. There are cheap keypads, and key remap software like SharpKeys, but the problem is, as far as I know, the same remapping is applied to all keyboards. I don't want to remap the num1 key of my main keyboard, but only the num1 key of the separate keypad.
After some web searching, it seems that one method is creating a "custom keyboard filter driver", but that seems a hard work. I have never created a Windows device driver, and doesn't a device driver require digital signing from Microsoft? I remember that I had to put Windows into a weird test mode at the boot to load some unsigned driver. That is a lot of hassle.
Is there any other way? Or, if filter driver is the only way, isn't there a pre-made one that is already signed? I mean, all I want to do is remapping keys, so the pre-made driver could read remapping configuration from an ".ini" file.
