I recently bought a Filco Majestouch Ninja mechanical keyboard. It doesn’t come with all the fancy function keys, therefore I decided to create some function keys myself. I installed the AutoHotKey (AHK) tool and wrote an AHK script. I use the Windows key as a replacement for the Function (Fn) key typically found on laptop keyboards. Here is a list of my function key mappings.

I use a Windows 7 on my desktop, but I found the Power User Menu shortcuts in Windows 8 come in handy, so I created them too. The Power User Menu is the pop-up menu which is displayed on the bottom left corner when you press Win+X on a Windows 8 computer. The script will not display the menu, so you need to remember the shortcut keys.

Here goes the script.
