For me to change what a single key does on my keyboard because I recently broke a a key. For example, if I wanted my 'm' key to type the letter 'n' instead would it be possible and if so, how do I make this happen?

You could make a "Hot Key" so that when you press say Control "m" it would type an n and another Control "M" it would type "N".

Use a Font Designer.

Copy in a standard font and change one of the lesser used symbols to an 'M'.

The + symbol on the top row for instance, you have one of those
on your number pad.

Then load in and use that font.

I think that will work, cannot see why not.

New keyboards are £4.00 - if it's your labtop you can plug in a proper
keyboard (it's what I do).

Once again, you've completely missed the point.

Actually I believe you did.


So, I guess that makes us even!

I always equate the veracity of bragging about money with bragging about the size of other things.

Those who have no money don't care about money, or at least say they don't.

Those that have money, do care about money.

Usually the bragging about the size of other things has more to do with the size of a mans vehicle. 😛 😉

But then again, GP's idea is easier and solid. Go with that.

In Word you can use the autocorrection (or whatever it may be called in English) feature. I have done that in order to be able to type German umlauts and ß easily while using the American Dvorak keyboard layout (which doesn't have those letters). The obvious problem is that it only works in Word.

"Autocorrection" is correct! 🙂
