Keyware 1.3.5 — free, open-source key remapper for Windows.

New in 1.3.5

  • Copilot key: Keyware recognises the Copilot key (which sends Win + Shift + F23) as one key, "Copilot key". Bind it to anything; while it's bound, Copilot or Search won't open and Win/Shift never leak or stick. Other Win + Shift shortcuts keep working. Windows 11 also has a simpler built-in option under Settings > Bluetooth & devices > Keyboard > Customize Copilot key.
  • Caps Lock: remap it, give it tap and hold actions (for example tap = Esc, hold = Ctrl), or turn it off with the new Do nothing action. Shift + Caps Lock still toggles capitals.
  • Tap vs hold on any key: a Hold binding can now have a separate Tap action, from 100 ms (200 ms default), and can keep a key like Ctrl held down while you hold. Keys without a hold action are never delayed.
  • Macropads and stream decks: buttons that send F13 to F24 record and bind like any key. Text mode now knows Cursor, Slack, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Photoshop, Premiere Pro, After Effects, OBS, Figma and Blender.
  • Keyware.exe --version prints the version (add --out file to write it to a file).

Your settings carry over unchanged.
