			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/computer_keyboard.jpg" alt="computer keyboard" title="computer keyboard" width="128" height="66" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-12596" />Computer Keyboard Tweaker is a very lightweight computer program to manage keyboard shortcuts. It offers various configuration possibilities and uses roughly one Megabyte while running in the background. It provides access to several features only known from multimedia keyboards. This includes changing the speaker volume, launching executables from the local hard drive, opening the default email program to wrote an email to a specified address or opening local paths and urls.</p>
<p><span id="more-12598"></span>The interface displays the list of preconfigured keyboard shortcuts upon startup. It is possible to delete those to begin with a blank set of keyboard shortcuts. A shortcut consists of a computer keyboard combination, an execute command and an icon. The combinations that are offered by the software are to combine Alt, Control and Shift with a key on the computer keyboard.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/keyboard_tweaker-500x338.jpg" alt="keyboard tweaker" title="keyboard tweaker" width="500" height="338" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-12597" /></p>
<p>The combinations can be tested and become available after hitting the apply button. Most interesting are probably the options to launch a website, program or location. </p>
<p>The main advantage of the computer keyboard tweaker is its low resource usage. The program asks to register an account but there were not any obvious disadvantageous in skipping that step. <a href="http://stud.usv.ro/~alexbu/target.php?target=keyboard">Keyboard Tweaker</a> is compatible with all Microsoft operating systems starting with Windows 9x.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://webpages.charter.net/krumsick/">Keytweak</a> is a keyword remapper that is compatible with all NT based versions of the Windows operating system including Windows XP, Windows Vista and even the soon to be released <a href="http://windows7news.com/">Windows 7</a>. The main difference between Keytweak and Sharp Keys, the <a href="http://www.ghacks.net/2009/01/02/remap-keyboard/">remap keyboard</a> tool that we reviewed a week ago, is mainly the graphical user interface and the better aid that Keytweak is offering.</p>
<p>KeyTweak displays a full keyword plus specialty buttons in its interface. A click on a button on that virtual keyboard will display the current keyboard mapping of the key and the option to remap the key using a pulldown menu. One interesting and very helpful feature of the software program is that it is showing the default keys of the selected keys. </p>
<p>This means that it is possible to remap keys and undo the changes easily by either remapping the key to the default one again or by clicking on the restore Default button in the lower half of the interface.</p>
<p><span id="more-9752"></span><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/keyboard_remapper-499x322.jpg" alt="keyboard remapper" title="keyboard remapper" width="499" height="322" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-9753" /></p>
<p>Another option provided by the keyboard remapper is to disable a key completely. Could be used to disable the Windows keys or the Caps Lock key. The specialty buttons section contains buttons for many multimedia and specialty buttons that are available on several keyboards. It is possible to remap those keys as well.</p>
<p>Keytweak comes with a teaching mode that can be used to remap keys as well. It works by simply pressing two keys on the keyboard with the option to remap key 1 to key 2. The main benefit of Keytweak is the visual representation of the keyboard and that it is easy to restore the keyboard defaults. All remapped keys are underlined in the program interface.</p>
