摘要

PURPOSE: A computer and a method for controlling the same are provided to change a specific input key into a user-designated input key and use a single short key instead of a plurality of input keys. CONSTITUTION: A keyboard(1) is provided for inputting keys by a user. At least one application program(10) is stored in a hard disk of a computer. A scan code change setting unit(9) is provided for changing a scan code of an input key prepared at a user-wanted position in the key input unit(1) into a scan code of an input key to be changed. An operating system(8) supplies an input key selected in the key input unit(1) to the application program(10) and operates a specific function. A scan code storage(5) stores the scan code changed in the scan code change setting unit(9). If an input key designated by a user is selected, a control unit(3) outputs a changed scan code of the input key to the operating system(8). In addition, a display unit(7) is provided.
