KeysFold
by Greenkeys
Put your usual actions on a single key.
There are 3 steps: Choose an action → copy it → paste it into the configuration tool.
01 Choose the action you want
Combine a modifier such as Control or Shift with one other key. For example: put Control + C on a single key.
Choose from common actions
Select based on the computer you use with the keyboard. Behavior varies by app and settings.
Windows
Mac
02 Copy and paste
Paste the copied text directly into an input field in a configuration tool such as VIA.
If pasting isn’t accepted
The same configuration is shown in a different format. Try this if the input field doesn’t accept the text above.

Quick Start Guide
This page converts the actions you want to assign to your keyboard into text you can paste.
- Choose what you want to do
Choose from the three functions above and specify the keys to use. For copying or saving, try “Shortcuts” → “Choose a common action.”
- Click “Copy this configuration”
The result updates automatically when you select keys. You don’t need to learn what the text means or rewrite it yourself.
- Paste it into your configuration tool
In VIA or another tool, select the key you want to assign, open a field that accepts text (such as VIA’s “Any” field), and paste. Confirm the assignment by following the tool’s instructions, then test it on your keyboard.
How do I choose between the three functions?
- Shortcuts
- Example: Control + C. Combine multiple keys pressed at the same time into a single key.
- Tap and Hold
- Example: tap for Space, hold for Control. Use one key in two different ways.
- Hold to Switch
- Example: tap for Space; while held, Layer 1. A “layer” is a different key layout. Set up the target layout in your configuration tool first.
How do I set it up on a computer after creating it on my phone?
Choose an action on your phone and tap “Copy this configuration.” Transfer the copied text to your computer, for example by syncing your usual notes, then paste it into the configuration tool on your computer. This page does not write to your keyboard.
Can I create shortcuts for individual apps?
If you know the key combination used in an app, you can select it manually. For example, for “Control + Shift + S,” check Control and Shift, then select S. The app you’re using determines what happens when you press the key. This tool does not launch apps or switch between them automatically.
This tool doesn’t support pressing two regular keys such as A and B at the same time, or entering keys in sequence. Use a macro feature in your configuration tool for those actions.
What if it doesn’t work after pasting?
Check the target key and layer, confirm the configuration, and make sure your keyboard supports the function. If the input field doesn’t accept the text, open “If pasting isn’t accepted” in the results section and try the alternative format. Changing the format can’t add functions your keyboard doesn’t support.
