I have found a keyboard that uses the half qwerty method but didn't really
want to be carrying that where ever I went.

Stuart,
I'm not sure that JAWS is quite the right tool for this sort of thing.
Firstly, with Keyboard manager and no additional scripting, the only keys
you would be able to remap are those which command JAWS itself. The letters
would be unaffected unless you brought some script into play, and changing
the state of half the keyboard on press (or holding, I'm not sure which
you're aiming for) of the space bar would be a scripting challenge for many
here, I'd imagine.
Is there any particular reason why you want to use JAWS to process your
alternate layout? I haven't looked into layouts especially, but surely
there must be some software out there designed explicitly for this purpose?
Sean.

Hi Listers.
I Want to create a new keyboard layout using Jaws to simulate the
half-qwerty Keyboard. This allows someone to use one hand on a normal
qwerty keyboard by keeping one hand on the home row and then accessing
the other half of the keyboard by pressing the space bar to mirror image
the other half of the keyboard. Would this be possible by just using the
keyboard manager or would scripting have to be used?
I would be grateful for any help or advice as it would help me a great deal
and maybe some others
Thanks
