I have remapped the keys on my keyboard or use a non-standard layout.

By 2 fmoo on June 14, 2007

Such as swapping Caps Lock with Control or using ... *gulp* Dvorak.

I haven't remapped all my keys, just some. Oh and I've got mouse clicks remapped too. So like right+left click is different than left+right click.

I remapped the right logo key to the compose function, e.g. compose, e, apostrophe => é.

It's very obnoxious not having a compose key somewhere on the keyboard.

I remapped the Caps_Lock to be another left control key (I never actually use it... just wanted to get rid of the Caps), the menu key to be a compose key, and I remapped the Forward/Backwards keys to be End/Home.

Now I'm just looking for something to use those annoying scroll-lock and Pause keys for.

I take a normal US layout, and then make the right ALT key into ALTGR and add several dead keys on the keyboard, so I can type umläut and çedilla (despite the irony), among others.

Dead keys are like compose; ALTGR+", followed by a, gives me ä. ALTGR+/, then o, gives me ø. But I also have the accented characters most common to my typing, äéøñ, directly on their basic keys (aeon).

On my linux workstations I also have SCIM set up so I can hit ALTGR+SPACE and start writing in Chinese (using pinyin), but not on my windows box (where I am now).

Thank you, crummy troll McTrolls-not-enough. Now that we're all waiting in anticipation for your next comment, why don't you say something inflammatory about some belief you think is dearly held or contested on jyte.

Dvorak and Japanese keyboard layouts have been used on my standard qwerty keyboard.
