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.

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.

Dvorak and Japanese keyboard layouts have been used on my standard qwerty keyboard.
I use dead keys like Wyrframe, but on a standard dvorak.
I'm using Dvorak layout.
