Tech help: mapping keyboard

tobiko

My k key on my keyboard has decided to stop working. I have been copying an pasting it which is a bit of a pain in the ass. I am wondering if there is any way that I can map the keyboard so something like APPLE + L will paste the k key.

You can still get a keyboard, just takes more fitting (or for home have an external)?

Needs cleaning. If the K is sticking, it's not long until others follow. Don't use anything but a very weak (if any at all) soap solution and a cotton-tipped swab. Don't use rubbing alcohol; it leaves a film behind that is actually worse than leaving soap on it. If you do use soap, remove it with (preferably) distilled water.
