Hello,

It's first time asking here. I recently switched to a Mac mini from a Windows PC. On windows I was able to assign shortcuts on my keyboard via third-party keyboard software and assigned Ctrl(Command on Mac) + F shortcut, which does a search function with just ONE keyboard.

Since use this search shortcut a lot on Windows I want to be able to do the Command + F by pressing just ONE keyboard (preferrably CAPS Lock key because I don't use this key) on Mac too.

So far I tried third-party softwares (Karabiner Elements, Steer Mouse and USBoverdrive) on Mac and searched on the internet but haven't really found what I'm looking for.

I'm satisfied with how my non-Mac OS supported mouse works via Steer Mouse though.

Please tell me how to assign this Command + F shortcut to another key! Or recommend any third-party softwares that make it possible! Thank you.

Specification:

M1 Mac Mini

mac OS Ventura 13.0

Baked in shortcuts that are universal in the macOS is risky business trying to force a change here...

Aside from a function key, all shortcuts must be at least one modifier key + another key. If you want a one-key shortcut, try F-Keys, but that may not work either.
