  • take a look at AutoHotKey. it does macro stuff AND can remap keys fairly easily.

  • @Lee_Dailey So I would need to deploy AutoHotKey on other machines previously to using some script? What is the purpose then, if it is less time consuming to change the shortcut manually?

    Does this answer your question? How to disable Ctrl+Shift keyboard layout switch (for the same input language) in Windows?

  • @ymdred16 - AHK can be compiled. you are correct that you would need to distribute that exe file, tho. it looks like JosefZ has a better idea for your situation. good luck! [grin]

  • @JosefZ Yeah. Have found what I need in answers down below, thanks for the link. Should I delete the question or answer it myself? That question in the link you provided is not actually about what I needed.

After looking into this answer (and some others), this PowerShell snippet worked for me:

$wshell = New-Object -ComObject wscript.shell
$wshell.SendKeys("%+()")

It sends Alt + Shift.
