remapping
Redirecting control inputs
Remapping is reassigning functions or values to different keys, buttons, or inputs.
Gamers remap keyboard controls to suit their preferences; programmers remap keys for efficiency.
The term extends beyond computing: The accident forced a remapping of her life plans.
Any reconfiguration of established pathways or associations can be called remapping.
