    The fact that Windows needs an external program (with administrator access?) to remap hotkeys is completely bizarre to me.

      Huh? A Windows environment, like e.g. Linux, has thousands of different potential sources where “hotkeys” might come from. Some are easy to remap, some aren’t. That is all down to how that particular application implemented that particular hotkey and its configurability. I know, I know, Windass Bad.

        What do you mean by “thousands of different sources”? Afaik the hotkeys for e.g. the desktop environment are managed by KDE (or whatever you’re using). When I wanted to stop Windows from inserting “µ” whenever I pressed “Ctrl+M” I had to do some serious AHK trickery.
