Keyhac

What is Keyhac?

Keyhac puts keyboard customization in a Python configuration file. A binding can send another key, enter a sequence or call a Python function; separate key tables let the same shortcut behave differently in different applications. It suits users who want programmable shortcuts rather than a settings-only remapping tool.

The Windows tray menu provides Edit Config and Reload Config for changing ~/.keyhac/config.py. The console shows key events, the last key and the focused application's path, helping you identify what a binding should match. Clipboard history, keyboard macros and window-control commands extend the workflow beyond simple key replacement.

This download is the Keyhac 2.7.0 ZIP for Windows 10 or 11 on x64. Extract the archive and run Keyhac.exe; the publisher also offers a separate Microsoft Store installation. Keyhac keeps running when you close its console. Turn off Keyboard Hook to pass keys through unchanged, or choose Quit Keyhac to exit.

Configuration requires Python editing, and existing Keyhac 1.x configurations need an API migration rather than an unchanged copy. Windows also prevents Keyhac from remapping input in administrator windows unless Keyhac itself is elevated. Clipboard-history text and file paths can persist on disk, so consider that before using it with sensitive clipboard content.
