I have a question about changing key behavior. I need to securely delete files on my PC but Windows doesn't support this. I installed Eraser, and it added entry to context menu. Is there some way to change behavior of any key on keyboard and assign some program/application to key?

You could find out what command Eraser is calling (via system registry) then use Autohotkey to find the selected file then invoke the Eraser command when Del is pressed.

Edit: As ejmin points out be mindful that this change would apply to all uses of the Del key, potentially causing strange behaviour when editing text.

    This could negatively change the behaviour of the delete button while editing text. Be careful and considerate while overwriting keys.
