- if_by_whisky 9y agoExcel users don't think that way, I guess. Remapping keys requires a registry update on Windows, which many of my windows-at-work friends don't get access to. Even if they did, they might not trust themselves to make registry updates. Popping the key off is easy, secure, and effective.
- chris_wot 9y agoA registry key? It’s incredibly you can change keyboard layout but not key bindings easily.
- infogulch 9y agoA 2-line autohotkey script would be enough to disable the F1 key in just Excel. You can even compile it down to a single copyable binary.
- camtarn 9y agoBut your users are all trained not to run random scripts or binaries, right? ...right? ;)
- eggoa 9y agoIf IT has your computer locked down, it's way easier to just pry the thing off.
- grecy 9y agoHuh, I had no idea Windows has no easy way to remap keys.
- toast0 9y agoWhat's the downside of not being able to hit F1? Taking the keycap off is simple and effective.
