F13 to F24 with Caps Lock App

This is a simple application to remap the F1 to F12 keys to F13 to F24 with the Caps Lock key. It’s useful if you need additional 12 function keys.

Requirements

• A Windows PC

How it works

This application has been made and compiled with AutoHotKey . It’s a simple script that remaps the F1 to F12 keys to F13 to F24 when the Caps Lock key is pressed. When the Caps Lock key is pressed again, the remapping is disabled and the F1 to F12 keys are restored.

Shift doesn’t affect the remapping; for example, if you press Shift+F1 while CAPS LOCK is enabled, the system will receive SHIFT+F13.

What use can i have for this?

This script works with every application with support for the additional function row F13-F24. For example:

• DAWs (Digital Audio Workstation) like Bitwig Studio, Ableton Live, FL Studio, Cubase, etc.
• Graphic editors like Photoshop, Gimp, etc.
• CAD software like AutoCAD, SolidWorks, etc.
• Video editors like Adobe Premiere, DaVinci Resolve, etc.
• Code editors like Visual Studio Code, Atom, etc.
• Other AutoHotkey scripts

How to use

1. DOWNLOAD this zip file . Both the 32bit and 64bit versions are included.
