Thank you for the reply! I didn't know this lacked on board macro storage :/ I will look into a program for this!Polecat wrote: 30 Jan 2022, 23:14 I had the same question with my FK-2002, which I bought new back in the '90s. There's no memory or programming in the Focus keyboards. The Macro key was used to call up a TSR Macro program that you loaded from DOS when the machine booted. The keyboards didn't come with such a program, you had to buy it separately. The one I used was called ProKey. You can probably use a modern converter or software to reassign the Macro key, since the backslash it generates has a different scan code than the "normal" backslash.

No problem! I just tested it and was able to remap my left macro key on my FK-2001 to the left windows key. In the AutoHotKey software you can view your keystroke history from the View menu and in the key history table you can see the scan code of the macro key. For me this was “056”. Once I knew th scan code I created a script that remapped it with a line of “SC056::LWin” but you can obviously remap to anything. Hope this helps!gavtyler wrote: 31 Jan 2022, 06:14thanks for the recommendation!thefarside wrote: 31 Jan 2022, 03:06 On windows I’ve used https://www.autohotkey.com to remap keys.
