That doesn't look too useful...

That would do, so far as most apps are concerned; be careful to 'fix' the
INKEY values appropriately too). This *will* require some hacking of the
InternationalKeyboard module, since IKHG doesn't let you alter these keys
(though it can be made to) and it doesn't alter the INKEY codes (though
tweaking the assembler source files will do that).

The one thing that you *can't* do in this way is to alter the internal key
codes, which some programs (some games, the occasional app) rely on; such a
program will think that your Home key is really Copy/End, for example.

I think that you're better off getting used to the layout, really...
