Broke one letter key of my laptop's keyboard and want to remap it on the right Window's key

  • 772

Some days ago I accidentally spilled some soda on my laptop and broke one of the keys, specifically the letter 'v'. The computer isn't actually mine so I'm ordering another replacement to the keyboard which arri'v'es in 10 days. Until the new keyboard gets installed I ha'v'e to make a little fix on my laptop to stop the pain of pasting the 'v' using a mouse. So I thought of remapping Right Windows (key I do not use) to temporally fix the problem.

T.L.D.R. Need to remap the letter 'v' to the Right Window's key and don't know how.
