The F12 key can be remapped through Lenovo Vantage.

How about F8?

xuxinliang commented 2 weeks ago

I have found that Fn+S=Alt+PrtScrn Fn+B=Ctrl+Break Fn+K=Scroll Fn+Tab,can be customized by Ex_13。 Fn+P

csavalas commented 2 weeks ago

I haven't tried other keys before, but, after checking just now, it looks like F4-F8 may be customizable through the same method as well:

F4: Ex_1A F5: Ex_10 F6: Ex_0F F7: 7 F8: 5

I just confirmed that customizing F4, F7, and F8 works perfectly. While F5/F6 can be customized as well, they still adjust the brightness alongside whatever mapping is set, so not ideal.

FYI... F12: Ex_90

It is so amazing!

how to find relation between fn and ex_###?

I just want to know the way to customize "Fn+ space"

May be different model had the different key. Could you show me the way to get the relation between Fn and the code, like ex_###. My model is T14S(gen 1), F8(with code 5) does not work.

@xuxinliang

Hey there, I am actually in the process of making this work for older gens too, so maybe we can help each other (since I don't have access to an older ThinkPad lol).

As you probably already know, the registry key we care about is located here: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Lenovo\ShortcutKey\AppLaunch

Under that key, certain subkeys relate to different F-keys on the keyboard. Here is a chart I put together for my P1 Gen 6

 F4: Ex_1A
 F5: Ex_10
 F6: Ex_0F
 F7: 7
 F8: 5
 F9: Ex_96
F10: Ex_97
F11: Ex_98
F12: Ex_90

If you could make me a similar chart for yours, that'd be awesome!

Here's how to do that:

Ok, now you're ready to go. Repeat the following steps for each key (F4-F12):

  1. Press CTRL + E to toggle on event capture
  2. Press the desired F-key (F4-F12)
  3. At least a few events should appear
  4. Press CTRL + E to toggle off event capture
  5. Look for an entry whose path contains: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Lenovo\ShortcutKey\AppLaunch
    • Take note of the subkey after AppLaunch, that is the subkey corresponding to the F-key you pressed in step 2
      • E.g. For the path HKLM\SOFTWARE\Lenovo\ShortcutKey\AppLaunch\Ex_97, we would take note of just the subkey Ex_97
  6. Press CTRL + X to clear the captured events

Let me know if you have troubles with any of that, and post your F4-F12 chart whenever you can, thanks!

xuxinliang commented 1 week ago

I follow your steps , and get the same results as you. F4: Ex_1A F5: Ex_10 F6: Ex_0F F7: 7 F8: 5 F9: Ex_96 F10: Ex_97 F11: Ex_98 F12: Ex_90

But F4, F5, F6, F7, F8 and F12 didn't work(can't be customized), remaining the original function. Only F9, F10, F11, Fn+Tab works.

csavalas commented 1 week ago

Thanks for doing that, and having looked at this, it actually makes sense that you got the same result--I saw 'gen 1' and assumed it was a much older model.

That being said, can you elaborate on what exactly you are doing, step-by-step, to try to remap F8, for example?

F8Test.zip

@xuxinliang Here, just to narrow this down, try merging this file with your registry. Once merged, pressing F8 should open a new browser window to https://github.com. Let me know if it does

it works! :-):-)

With F8、F12 The path ("File"="%SystemRoot%\system32\notepad.exe") did not work.

The path ("File"="C:\Windows\notepad.exe") worked。

With Fn+tab "File"="%SystemRoot%\system32\notepad.exe" worked. So I copy the path to F8,

csavalas commented 1 week ago

Great! I just released a new version that supports all of the keys from F4-F12, check it out!
