Post New Requests Here / Dvorak keyboard converter
« on: February 11, 2007, 05:36 PM »
This is probably one for one of the script machine gurus. How about creating a script that will change the keyboard layout on Windows from any given language (the default) to dvorak, and back again.
From recent discussion on another forum, it was asked if there was a Mnufacturer that makes a hardwired keyboard that will allow a user to type dvorak without changing the settings on th computer, but I thought I'd ask here and see if a script was more feasible.
Some things it should include are:
Tray Icon with indicator as to which layout is active
Ability to switch with the mouse, (who can find the ctrl+? for hotkey operation?)
it would be even better if a per user config could be set up ( so logging into a certain account would trigger the last state for that user, making it transparent almost to non dvorak users)
A Linux equivalent, although that's easy for anyone familiar with linux.
Anyway, just an idea. Hope someone jumps on it.
