This one I know how to achieve -- but please note I don't indent to map keys/combos to characters but to key events -- F15, home, A (as key), *not* "ą", "×" (characters). > It seems this mechanism is also useful for what the OP wants, but > it is indeed application specific.

I need something more low-level, system-wide, to "fool" any app that I am really pressing the assigned keys. > I hope this helps a bit, it did the trick for me anyway.
