Inconsisten FAQ #529

Closed usernamefound closed 1 year ago

usernamefound commented 1 year ago

In the Things that SharpKeys will do section you claim that Sharp Keys can Remap more than one key to one single key - e.g. you could remap every key on a keyboard to the letter Q

When you scroll further down to read the FAQ, you say: Q: Can I remap a combination of keys to one key? A: Sadly, no. SharpKeys only remaps whole keys rather than a modified key. For example, you can remap Ctrl or C but you can't remap Ctrl+C to another key. That said, the Microsoft PowerToys tool does offer this functionality - you can learn more about their tool here: Microsoft PowerToys.

So which one?

Um, both say the same things?

The first one says that you can remap several (single) keys to the same key. Example: You can have both the Q, W and F keys produce Q; not a useful example but a possible one.

The second one says that you cannot remap a combination of several keys. You cannot make Q+W produce F, and you cannot make Ctrl+Q produce F.

Maybe the first one could've been a little clearer, by saying Remap more than one (single) key to one (single) key? Not sure that'd be neccessary though?
