G15 5515, F9 Game Shift software replacement

Dell G15 5515 Ryzen Edition has Game Shift feature that enables playing with highest performance mode. There is one problem. The feature cannot be activated with any software button because even AWCC has no option to activate it. You must press F9 key on the keyboard of the laptop. 

How are you going to enable this mode while lid is closed or while using docking station and external keyboard or while on remote desktop? There is a way.

When we press F9 (Function keys in media mode) on keyboard of the laptop, the motherboard makes it F17 on the fly.

F17 is the solution. You have to get a keyboard with F17 key.

or

Do what I did. No need of any special keyboard.

• Get AutoHotkey

• Create a text file GameShift.txt with below content. The line simulates press of F17 key

Send {F17}

• Change the extension of the file to ".ahk". i.e., the file is now GameShift.ahk
• Create shortcut to this file and place it wherever you want. For this shortcut, create keyboard shortcut (Properties -> shortcut -> shortcut key). Keyboard shortcut can be assigned only to a shortcut. That's why this shortcut is created.
• Either click on the GameShift.ahk or its shortcut or press the keyboard shortcut key assigned in the previous step to either activate or deactivate the Game Shift mode.
