I didn't follow this thread in detail, so if I got the wrong end ofthe stick, please ignore this message. I use "Programmer Dvorak" layout - which can be applied to any OS andany keyboard - does this for me. No programming required from my side.Programmer Dvorak supports many extra keys via Alt and Meta. They original author of Programmer Dvorak supplies drivers or keyboardlayout profiles for Linux, Windows, Mac etc. So maybe you could learnsomething from what he did?
