Matthew,
There is something called the Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator. I found
this page with Google:
http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/tools/msklc.mspx
However the problem can also be addressed with the JAWS Scripting
Language. Have a look at the KeyboardHelp and KeyboardHelpHook scripts.
They are in default.jss and are called to toggle the keyboard layout to
produce the Help Keyboard when you use JAWSKey + 1.

Subject: Customized Keyboard layout
Hi all,
Just sitting around grubbing on a burger and wondering if its possible to
create a completely customized keyboard layout I can quickly switch to
with some sort of hotkey. That is, I want to use my keyboard's keys to
represent something other than the letters and numbers they were intended
to be used as. Is it possible to let's say, create my own Dvorac type of
keyboard layout in order to speed up some of the commands and entries I
execute lots. for example, rather than using the numpad, I would like to
enter numbers in a text editor using ASDF and JKL;. I would also like to
turn some keys into fraction keys. It wouldn't hurt if I could also turn
some keys into a much easier way of entering scientific notation. I just
want some keys a lot closer in order to execute more efficiently.
thanks,
Matthew
