Keystroke Re-mapping and Passthrough App
-
I've been looking at Matias' Half Keyboard and 503 Keyboard (http://www.matias.ca/halfkeyboard/index.php) and it seems like a rather neat idea. However, I'm not willing to spend $100 to find out I don't like it. So, I decided to try making a program/windows service that would intercept any keystroke, and via a configurable mapping, pass the mapped key on to windows. The remapping of keys, I can do. What I need help on is how to trap keyboard signals from getting to windows, and then sending the ones I want through. If anyone has suggestions, pointers, or links to articles about this kind of thing, please share. I might consider working with others on this project as well. I've always wanted to try a colaborative project, and put out some open-source apps.
A soft glow comes from the pit in the darkness. The clicking noise become faster - and louder. A wind begins to stir up from the pit, as the creature flexes it's wings, preparing for flight. You stare into the pit, and hear a voice say in your mind, "If you survive the encounter, declare it to the world." The Code Demon Rises.

You will need to install keyboard hook. Search google and/or codeproject for this term and you will find what you need.
