  • sharpkeys

    SharpKeys is a utility that manages a Registry key that allows Windows to remap one key to any other key.

  • Maybe this https://github.com/randyrants/sharpkeys

  • dual-key-remap

    Remap any key to any other two keys on Windows 🔥. Remap CapsLock to both Ctrl and Escape! (It's like xcape for windows!)

  • You definitely should try dual-key-remap! I also struggled with Dual, and it was a big relief to find that gem. Just place file named config.txt near executable with that content: remap_key=SPACE when_alone=SPACE with_other=CTRL
