For combat in SL Gor, you need to hit pagedown to use a shield. But I use left-mouse and arrow keys, and can't reach pagedown. The only key that I could actually reach is the zero/ins key on the numeric keyboard. I always keep numlock off and only use numeric-keyboard for SL, so it can be a universal or permanent fix.

Viewer?

I've had to make changes to the keys.xml file in the Lab's viewer. Home and End were particularly finicky function-accessible ones for me on my previous laptop (thanks Lenovo!), and the viewer hated the arrangement.

I don't know if the numeric keypad is out of bounds or not with it.

(If it works for you, keep a backup of your modified keys.xml for updates to the viewer.)

There are several methods if you want to universally remap keys on your keyboard:

If you want more control over when it is remapped, AutoHotKey is a great solution:

The Black Dragon viewer allows you to remap the keys in Preferences.
