Sleep key is scancode E05F In registry "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout" Create Binary value named "Scancode Map" Put in there: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 02 00 00 00 3E 00 5F E0 00 00 00 00 That changes scancode E05F (Sleep key) into scancode 3E (F4 key). Then logout or reboot for the change to apply. I actually looked up what would be necessary to do this change without a reboot, and it turns out that only WinLogon.exe is allowed to make the Scancode Map change. | ||

A tool to help manage these kinds of rebindings is the Keyboard Manager in PowerToys. As I recall it uses multiple approaches, so it isn't "just" a straight manager of scancode maps, but that also helps it avoid logout/reboot for the initial change to take place. | ||
