[Solved!] Remap a key? (Windows 10) (self.techsupport)

I used to have one of those gaming keyboards that lets you reprogram any key - I'm back to just a standard keyboard, but this seems like the kind of thing a modern computer should be able to do without a "gaming" peripheral.

What I'd really like to do is rebind my caps lock key, because the only time I ever use caps lock is on accident lol. Hoping to rebind it to be my push-to-talk key, so if I could make it do something like a zero-width-space that'll basically turn it into an input key that does nothing except when I tell something like Discord to use that as ptt.

I'm only surface-level competent with computers, so explain-like-I'm-your-grandma or I'll probably fuck something up.

Thanks all!!

Powertoys keyboard manager should be able to do something like that https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/powertoys/keyboard-manager

This looks like it'd do the trick - got it working with another program (SharpKeys) so I don't want to futz with it anymore, but I'll keep this one in the back of my head for future use. Might as well stick with microsoft software on a microsoft computer.

Thanks!!
