    My new KVM switch uses hotkeys Scroll Lock + Scroll Lock + 1 (2,3,4) commands to select between any four computers. My old 2-port KVM switch uses hotkey command Ctrl + Ctrl + 1 and Ctrl + Ctrl + 2, which I find quicker and much more ergonomically efficient. I am running Windows XP and my keyboard is PS/2. Can the left hand Windows key (which I never use but is conveniently adjacent to the Ctrl key) be re-configured to function exactly like the Scroll Lock key?

    Microsoft has a little-known keyboard map editor. I'll see if I can find my copy and/or post a link.
