Using a 2-in-1 win10 touchscreen (no alt/ctrl keys)

[Jackhandy]

I've looked through the faqs to no avail:

Using my new Dell inspiron 15 7000 without access to its keyboard, bought a bluetooth 28-key numpad, which works well with the hot keys I've, so far, modified for use with it.

Just found a problem - Can't select a source point for the clone tool without an alt key!

Is there a way round this without having to have a Bluetooth keyboard cluttering up the workspace?

Is there a way to re-map the alt/ctrl keys, or any keys, for that matter, either in window or AF?

Welcome to the Serif Affinity Forums, @Jackhandy.

Can you use the onscreen keyboard on your setup?

Thanks for replying, Alfred;

Yes, I can use the onscreen keyboard - But it has No Alt key!

However, I found Sharp Keys and, after a couple of false starts, managed to re-map the key so that it works a treat now.

The problem was all down to me, being thick, & not paying proper attention - The alt key was described as the Left alt key in an alphabetically-arranged list, so I was continually missing it.

Sorry to have wasted people''s time, but maybe this might be of help to any other dimwit trying to use a touchscreen with the desktop software 😴
