Re: Key InFormer
I have Keyboards, mouses and even gamepads with too many extra buttons that I really don't know what keystrokes\mouse-clicks\etc they send to windows Os!
With this this tool, which is 100% portable and I can carry it with me wherever I go, I can know instantly what keystrokes\mouse-clicks a device's button sends to windows!
For example, I have a mouse in which one of its buttons used to send "LCtrl + 0" to windows and I always thought that only "LCtrl" was sent, and that can cause a lot of problems! (I fixed the problem by using the mouse software to remap the button from "LCtrl + 0" to "LCtrl")
With this tool, I found out that, my laptop "Right Alt" button, actually sends "LControl down + RAlt down + LControl up + RAlt up", really, I really don't know why it sends the "LControl" keystroke, but, after knowing that, it really allowed me to avoid a lot of problems, for example, remapping keys while playing games, etc, etc!
Some devices buttons even send 3,4 or more different keystrokes\Mouse-clicks to windows at once without you knowing that!
Well, to be honest, this tool already saved me a lot of headaches while remapping devices buttons for playing games, for automation tasks and other purposes!
Re: Key InFormer
Some keyboard layouts have an AltGr key in place of right Alt. Internally, Windows represents AltGr as Ctrl + Alt, and thus generates both Ctrl and Alt keypresses when AltGr is pressed.user wrote: ↑Thu Oct 11, 2018 9:22 am With this tool, I found out that, my laptop "Right Alt" button, actually sends "LControl down + RAlt down + LControl up + RAlt up", really, I really don't know why it sends the "LControl" keystroke, but, after knowing that, it really allowed me to avoid a lot of problems, for example, remapping keys while playing games, etc, etc!

@user:
Are you the dev? I had some concerns here:
* Uses the PortableApps Icon, which is going to cause confusion and is a trademark issue
* Not real clear on what I'd use this for. "Remapping devices buttons for playing games" isn't something I generally do and I'm not sure what automation tasks this would apply to.
* License unclear. Softpedia seems to think the Key InFormer is freeware and the MultiString search is a Demo ... nothing on the site I could find about that.
* The site entry description doesn't follow site format

So the author updated his entry to the following:
I'm sorry that our criticism made you feel unwelcome. It may not seem like it but we really are trying to help: there's a lot of new, free software out there and it's hard to distinguish what's a vague, alpha project versus a real gem that a lot of people should be using. Sometimes in trying to weed out the junk, we only see issues and not potential.I tried to delete this thread but I did not find the delete\remove button!
