| Does anyone know how to customize the keyboard layout on a Handheld PC? (specifically a Jornada 720 ). I would love to remap my keyboard and give a chance to the Dvorak layout.... I searched the internet for a bit but found no solution for HPC devices  |

| Search the board for language and/or keyboard remapping, the same system I would summise can be used to reconfigure the keys to DVORAK (Feeling brave are we? )  |

| i dont think it would be too difficult to do, i know only language extender from experience but the method of remapping is self explanatory and straightforward  |

| i dont know of freeware solutions but as you're a programmer it will be very easy to do it yourself. get keyboardhook and find out the keycodes for the keys then write a little remap app.  thats what i have for remapping caps to ctrl and insert to caps on my intermec. |

| keyboardhook failed to run on my jornada.... :/
tried both versions including hpcpro and hpc2k variations of version 1, one did run but didn't work, the other one (just as version2) didn't even run |

yeah, I did press it. The only produced effect was dissabling the "A" key (that's mean you press it and nothing happen ). No remapping. |

| oooh, i see now what the problem is. you misunderstood it. this is NOT a remapper. you need to write the dvorak remapper based on the information this app gives you on keycodes.
for example Ctrl on the intermec was "17" (or 45... can't remember ), and Caps was "45". then someone wrote a little remap program for me, that exchanges these keys. it is really easy for a programmer and as far as i know you're one..
so, next time you run keyhook, press Load and then press A and you'll see the keycode in the app.
sorry if you never intended to solve the problem this way but it helped me so much! Edited by cmonex 2006-01-30 8:32 AM

I was guided by the provided "help" in the application which states that the "Remap Test" should remap the "A" key into "B" and "B" into "C" which doesn't occur. However, I'll give it a try to the code |

| EDIT: double posted. 
Anyways. I've tested again and at least give the KEYCODE. I'll see if I can cheat the OS to tell that another key has been pressed. Edited by ShadowMaster 2006-01-30 11:23 AM
