Right keyboard is broken (doesn’t work), how to “replace” it using software?

My another laptop has another broken keyboard for right. Therefore I cannot manouver my text to the right.

How to overcome this using software? I now can do this using Autohotkey. Just download the software. If you cannot find the URL, just ask Miss Google by yourself. After that, add this line to your autohotkey script. Detailed instruction on how to do this, I will not give it to you, I left it for you as an exercise. Just add this line to your *.ahk script, and activate your autohotkey and the script, and then you will have a keyboard combination to replace right movement.

In my case I use “win left” combination. So if I want to move my cursor to the right, then I just press both “Window” and “left”.

One line script to add is:

#Left::Right

In this case, my Left keyboard is still functional. # is a symbol for “Window” keyboard, a key with Window logo/icon.

My code above reads as a combination of window and left keys equal to right key.
