Never tried it myself though. Use at own risk

create a text file with the following




'VBScript Example
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

'WshShell.Run "%windir%\notepad.exe"
'WshShell.Appactivate "Notepad"
WshShell.SendKeys "{ENTER}"
WshShell.SendKeys "{TAB}"
WshShell.SendKeys "a"
WshShell.SendKeys "{ENTER}"
WshShell.SendKeys "{ENTER}"
WshShell.SendKeys "{TAB}"
WshShell.SendKeys "{TAB}"
WshShell.SendKeys "{ENTER}"
WshShell.SendKeys "{%p}"
WshShell.SendKeys "r"
WshShell.SendKeys "r"
WshShell.SendKeys "{ENTER}"


Save it as
script.vbs

Then Copy the script somewhere, create a shortcut on your desktop

Goto File properties, and then shortcut.
Then under shortcut key enter whatever, F4 etc.

im sure you could do this for what you want

I don't think it would be a good idea in the futur if you play games or use anything that needs the F keys.

but the way i suggested, the keys arent permenantly remapped - so you wouldnt have the problem
