> I'm familiar with this, but I didn't find a way of remapping the alt/win keys with it. The closest I've found was using alt-gr for level 3. But I don't want that, I want the key next to it to be alt-gr. I also want to have it on the left side, too.
BIG WARNING if you do this! I've done it in the past and using other computers will just break your brain. Think working with someone else or helping relatives, etc.

Oh, so just like Linux stuff? :-p The double standards are real :-D
> The first approach I'd found, using the remap function of PowerToys kinda worked. But it randomly stopped working and would behave as if I had the super key pressed all the time. Cue windows randomly moving around, etc.
I've used SharpKeys and the Microsoft KLC tool in the past, after many, many failed attempts with other tools, they're quite reliable. Only a handful of apps and websites (WhatsApp web... for some reason ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ) don't 100% work well with them.
Sharpkeys is the one I use, yes. I always forget what it's called.

What saves me is that my French colleagues use French layout keyboards, so I have to mentally switch anyway when I use theirs. Luckily, it's not that often.

I think the biggest issue with Windows is finding a reliable source for these things. For Linux, there's the arch wiki, which is wonderful even for people using other distros. For Windows, there are many sources which are just blogspam and basically say that you should reinstall some driver and reboot your pc. Also, fiddling with registry keys with opaque names that you found on ad-laden webpages always feels a bit off (I'm thinking about trying to remove the "shortcuts" in windows 10's explorer, for example).
I'm actually quite impressed with some things available on Windows, especially the lesser known ones, but find it extremely frustrating that they're so hard to find out about.
