Does anyone know how to remap Caps Lock to AltGr/Alt+Ctrl on Windows 7?

Closest I've come to solving it is using SharkKeys, but if I try to map anything with AltGr it says SharpKeys doesn't know about the key.

Here's the old bug report about it: https://sharpkeys.codeplex.com/workitem/10375

I've been searching a lot, but all the registry hacks are how to map it to Shift or Ctrl, nothing about AltGr.

since all solutions I found were not working anymore (at least for me) on a current Win 10, this is what finally helped me (with a German keyboard):

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout]
"Scancode Map"=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,02,00,00,00,38,e0,3a,00,00,00,00,00

the original tool that produced this key entry for me was this one: https://unclassified.software/de/apps/remapkeyboard (i am not affiliated)

drawback of that software is that it requires admin rights for execution, so the registry key should be enough.

Found much better alternative: https://code.google.com/p/keymapper/

KeyMapper works very well and you can map absolutely everything. You can also save your mappings and .reg file.

Softpedia mirrors: http://www.softpedia.com/get/Desktop-Enhancements/Other-Desktop-Enhancements/KeyMapper.shtml#download The EU secure link seems to work if you trust that they serve you the original binary.

    Unfortunately this link now redirects to github where these downloads are (apparently) unavailable.

    @robert Check my edited answer. But you need to trust that softpedia is serving you the correct binary. I don't know that, the original project seems to be vanished indeed.
