How to Turn Your Caps Lock Key into a Chrome OS - Style Search Key

The Caps Lock key is outdated and mostly useless. Most people will only ever trigger it accidentally. Google replaced the Caps Lock key with a Search key on its Chromebooks, and you can do the same thing on Windows.

There are ways to do this sort of thing with AutoHotkey, but we’ll show you how to do it without needing any third-party software running in the background.

If this doesn’t sound useful to you and you just want to get rid of your Caps Lock key, you could disable the Caps Lock key entirely.

Remap Caps Lock

Even if you were using AutoHotkey to do this, the Caps Lock key won’t work quite right if you associate an event with it. it’s best to remap the Caps Lock key to another key entirely. When you press the Caps Lock key on your keyboard, your computer will behave as if you pressed another key.

You could do this by remapping the key manually in the registry – in fact, we’ve explained justhow registry key remapping works. But you can do this faster with a third-party key-remapping utility. We’ll be using SharpKeys, which you can download for free.

Install SharpKeys, open it, and click the Add button to add a new key remapping.

Windows 10 Setting All in one place God Mod hack & trick

God Mode (for the naming fun) is a hidden Windows feature which is very much like the Control Panel, but more advanced.  God Mode exposes nearly every setting available in Windows 10 and hence makes locating and tweaking certain options easier. However, no matter how good it sounds, it still misses out on the settings which are only available via the Settings app. If you are interested in checking out God Mode on your Windows 10 PC, here’s how to get it activated.

Accessing the All Settings mode or God Mode

To access the list of settings or the God Mode you just need to create a folder with a special name (or extension) which will convert it into the gateway to the God Mode instead of being a regular folder.

1. Right click on your desktop and select New> Folder. You can do this in any other location, but Desktop seems like the most appropriate place for such an option.
2. Name the folder as following  (Copying and pasting works best):

   GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

3. Hit Enter to finish.

You’ll notice a new option on your desktop called ‘God Mode’. Double clicking it will take you to the world of nearly every setting or configuration option available on Windows.

This works fine on Windows 8.1 as well as Windows 10 and you can use just any name for the folder as long as you keep the code after the name and it will still launch up the same. We are using God Mode because it sounds more catchy and because the feature is being known as God Mode.
