My shift key doesn't seem to work anymore on laptop and I can't really get it fixed. So I'd like to be actually able to use my other skills in the backhand F1-F12 bar. Is there a way to remap say, the Caps lock key to do what the shift key does in game? I did that for windows, but Mabi seems to be ignoring that setting. :X

Use
AutoHotkey.
[code]
Capslock::LShift
[/code]
should work, I think.

Unfortunately there is no way to modify key input within Mabinogi unless your keyboard supports editing keys on a driver level (for eg gaming keyboards you can macro)
The reason for this is Mabi requests exclusive control to the keyboard when it is in focus, blocking all external input. You can see this in action by running something like Puush and trying to use the shortcuts while mabi is focused. The shortcuts never fire due to this.
It is quite common for older DirectX games to do this, since it is one of the features of DirectInput.

Probably the best thing to do is use a keyboard lying around, or buy one that's not too expensive maybe.

You just have to run as administrator if you want a macro program or script to affect mabi.

That's helpful to know Rynn, thanks for the tip. I wasn't sure if running as admin could help with that.
