Validate that the Hold Enter and Esc accessibility features work as expected.
- [ ] Using the drop downs try to add key to key, key to shortcut, shortcut to key and shortcut to shortcut remapping and ensure that you are able to select remapping both by using mouse and by keyboard navigation.
- [ ] Validate that remapping can be saved by pressing the OK button and re-opening the windows loads existing remapping.
Remapping Validation:
For all the remapping below, try pressing and releasing the remapped key/shortcut and pressing and holding it. Try different behaviors like releasing the modifier key before the action key and vice versa.
- [ ] Test key to key remapping
- A->B
- Ctrl->A
- A->Ctrl
- Win->B (make sure Start menu doesn't appear accidentally)
- B->Win (make sure Start menu doesn't appear accidentally)
- A->Disable
- Win->Disable
- [ ] Test key to shortcut remapping
- A->Ctrl+V
- B->Win+A
- [ ] Test shortcut to shortcut remapping
