Default CTRL key (re)assignment

Hi,
on my new laptop with Premium license I've got the Canc key on the upper
right corner, which is different than what I was used to on a Toshiba
Satellite, where it was more conveniently located just replacing the right
CTRL key.
Now, I d really like to know how to reassign the right ctrl key to work as a
Canc key.

Any hint or way, no matter how tough, I will put into practice.
Thx a lot in advance for your suggestion,
ricardo

Hi,

Unless your keyboard driver provides for remapping those keys (and most do
not), you are not going to be able to do this.
