If your keyboard has a broken or missing key, working on it can be challenging.
However, there are instances when this doesn’t work.
An alternative solution at such times is to remap the broken key to another key on your keyboard.
What Is Key Remapping?
Remapping a key is a fail-safe solution to fixing a broken keyboard.
We’ll go over these programs for all three major computer operating systems one-by-one.
Remapping a Key on Linux
Key-remapping on Linux is possible through both native utilities and third-party software.
To keep things simple, though, we will use a third-party program called Key Mapper.
Remapping a Key on macOS
There are several key mapping tools for remapping keyboard keys on macOS.
The one we will be demonstrating, however, is a GUI-based key mapping tool called Karabiner-Elements.
With the key remapping done, there are still a few things that you should probably do.
