Is there a way to change the behavior of the windows media keys (the ones associated with the F4, F6 keys) behave the same way as the left / right cursor keys? I have tried quite a bit but have not been able to 'remap' them.

This might work.

I've used it to re-map Enter to null and right-Ctrl to Enter. Note that a reboot is needed for the changes to go into effect.

To give you an example, here's my file for the remapping I mentioned:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

; Set Enter (scancode 0x001c) to R-Ctrl (0xe01d) and R-Ctrl (0xe01d) to Enter (0x001c).

; https://www.experts-exchange.com/articles/2155/Keyboard-Remapping-CAPSLOCK-to-Ctrl-and-Beyond.html
; https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/hid/keyboard-and-mouse-class-drivers

; Note that the values below are in Little-Endian. (The examples in https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/hid/keyboard-and-mouse-class-drivers are given in Big-Endian.)

; In a 4-byte word like 1c,00,1d,e0 below, the first 2 bytes are the desired new scannode, and the second 2 bytes are the old scannode.
; Thus, 1c,00,1d,e0 means that R-Ctrl (0xE01D) is to replaced by Enter (0x001C).

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout]
"Scancode Map"=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,03,00,00,00,1c,00,1d,e0,1d,e0,1c,00,00,00,00,00

; "Scancode Map"=hex:00,00,00,00, 00,00,00,00, 03,00,00,00, 1d,00,3a,00, 66,e0,37,00, 00,00,00,00
