In AHK (windows) or Karabiner*) (Mac) there is a „complex modification“ of the Space Bar’s behaviour possible:
=============================================================== Change Space Bar to Shift. (Post space bar if pressed alone.) =============================================================== Would it be possible to interfere with the (Free)DOS’s Keyboard to create a similar behaviour in DOS?? Bret Johnson has exentsively worked on keyboard modifications, as I have some of his software here, but seemingly there wasn’t a solution at the time (1980/1990ies) available. I know that nobody would program something alike TODAY, but I keep trying to „investigate“ - I don’t even know what it would take to intercept the space-bars status’ to divert into an „if“-state. (See code below.) Any ideas somebody? PS: The goal is it, to get rid of the shift keys (left AND right) and shift keys only using together with the space bar key. Or other way round: Immagine a Shift key pressed alone inserts a „space“, else works as the SHIFT key as normally… Thomas ________ *) the json files looks like this: { "description": "Change spacebar to left_shift.
