I don't know about locked or how to change the shortcut/s, but
'normally' one could turn off or reboot the computer with the sequence:

ctrl-esc (brings up Start menu) U (shortcut item in Start menu opens the Turn off computer function) then S does standby, U shuts down and R restarts.

Yeah, but I was at the locked screen (winkey+L) so no Start Menu and
requires to login to get the desktop.

Thank you in advance. :)

Do you want to remap some key?

AutoHotKey is free and pretty easy to use, except as below.

Key Remapper for $24 is a little easier to use but especially easier
to use to get remapping of certain keys to only occur when certain
programs are running. I still can't get AutoHotKey to do that, even
though I know it's supposed to do it.

My "multimedia keyboard" is still attached to a broken computer, but
using either of the above programs, I assigned / and * of the
numerica keyboard to be volume down and volume up, and I assigned
pause/break to be mute. These are the 3 multimedia keys I used 98% of
the time. So now any keyboard is multimedia. There are some other
keys I never use that for future needs.

I would like to have pause/break function normally in cmd and tcc/le,
and I would like Insert to not function in Forte Agent 6, and if
anyone can explain how to do that in Autohotkey, I'd appreciate it.

What happens if you use the MS virtual on-screen
keyboard? Google for which.

I've used it when for some reason the keyboard
drivers didn't work but the mouse did.
