Certain keyboard models have less common or non-standard keys that don’t appear in KbdEdit’s GUI. These keys cannot be made “current” by clicking on their visual GUI representation, but it still might be possible to remap them. First, switch to the Low-level editor. Then press the non-standard key on your physical keyboard. If this causes the “Scan code” field to change – congratulations, the key can be remapped, and you have just discovered its scan code. The key might already have a virtual code assigned, in which case it will be displayed in the “Assigned virtual code” combo; otherwise, the combo will show “VK__none_”. If you want the key to behave as a non-mappable key (see List of Virtual Key Codes), simply choose the desired non-mappable VK code from the “Assigned virtual code” combo (e.g. you can make the key behave as Caps Lock by assigning it VK_CAPITAL). If you want the key to produce characters, you should first give it an unused mappable virtual key code (VK), again by choo
