Transform your keyboard into a rapid-fire command center. A lightweight C++ tool that rebinds standard keys to essential shortcuts with a single toggle.
Interactive Demo: Click the circle above to experience the toggle mechanic described in the software design.
Standard Windows shortcuts require "hand gymnastics"—holding Ctrl while reaching for another key. LazyKey simplifies this to a single tap, doubling your input efficiency for repetitive tasks.
When the "Purple Glow" is active, specific keys bypass their normal typing function and trigger system-level commands. The rest of your keyboard remains unaffected.
Pressing S immediately toggles the software OFF, returning you to normal typing mode instantly.
Whether you are a user or a developer, the process is streamlined.
