No idea about this one, though.

Its not possible with MSKLC, sorry. Though one could create a keyboard
layout through the Windows DDK that does all kinds of intelligent processing
that you provide the code for. I've never known anyone to do it in a
production system (and I have done it myself only once just to prove it
would work), but it would in theory be possible....
