I guess some of you guys probably don't know you can change your keyboard layout to like US - International and a bunch of other languages and stuff, but there's probably even more of you that don't know that you can make your own...

I found something pretty neat not long ago... http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/goglobal/bb964665.aspx

You can make it exactly however you want! How awesome is that? I took the US - International and added some Korean letters and some macron letters to mine and removed the dead keys since they screwed with some things I needed them for. ^_^

Here's the layout I made:

For the first two layouts, I see the backslash key near the left shift, but that's the only difference...

So basically, for this program, if you set "B" as your originally "A" key, when you hit what is your "A" key, a "B" would pop up?

I'll probably have to download this to fix my keyboard..
I have a Costa Rican keyboard, yet for some reason even though my computer is set to recognize it, the Alt Gr button doesn't work with my "2" button to make an at sign. >:(

Uhh... on the first two there are no differences. Look on the left hand side, the check boxes. One is the normal keyboard with no modifier keys, the next is with shift, next is with altgr, next is with altgr+shift.

It's a single keyboard layout.

But yes, what you set the key to is what will come up.
