tkl

Shortcut and keys remap for "ten key less" keyboards on Windows systems. This scripts are intended to ease:

The use of TKL and 60% keyboards (but the shortcuts are also useful for full-sized keyboards).
Avoid the mouse and provide a fast-change between common development apps (at least faster than Alt+Tab method).

Setup

For now run the scripts with Autohotkey. Maybe a build tool would be provided to get a .exe file with all the hacks.

Features

Remapings:
- Left Super to Alt+Space (common shortcut for app launchers)
- Right control to application key
Media control shortcuts:
- Right alt + (arrow left/right): Previous/next song
- Right alt + (arrow up/down): Increase/decrease volume
- Right alt + Del: mute
- Right alt + End: Play/pause
Useful operations:
- Right alt + V: Pastes clipboard content without format
Add useful shortcuts to active some app windows:
- Ctrl + Super + T: Activates/Minimize Microsoft Teams window
- Ctrl + Super + I: Activates/Minimize Intellij Idea window
- Ctrl + Super + V: Activates/Minimize Visual Studio Code window
- Ctrl + Super + B: Activates/Minimize Vivaldi (Browser) window

Note: The emulation of US international layout with AltGr keys has been removed because the right alt sometimes get stuck and cause weird behaviour when typing. If you need that layout on Windows, there is a better solution here: https://github.com/thomasfaingnaert/win-us-intl-altgr
