    Is there a way to set key board keys to specific tasks? I wish my key board
    had "delete" and "enter" on the far left side of the key board the same way
    I use "Esc" and "Ctl" instead of reaching over to the right side of the key
    board as I use those keys frequently and operate the mouse with my right
    hand. I've looked at all of the options in SW key board options and didn't
    find anything. While I'm asking, is there a key board that has the number
    pad on the left side? That would make ergonomic sense.

    Thanks in advance

    "Delete" and "Enter" on the right is exactly what I wanted too. I didn't
    search too much for a special keyboard but I did solve the problem by
    getting a 5 button mouse and programming the two extra keys.

    Great for other applications too and you can have different settings for
    each application if you want.

    I did some design work on a special keyboard for a company called
    KeyPoint Technologies (www.keypoint-tech.com). You'll find some
    renderings of a three segment keyboard on their site (and one pic on my
    own site). One of the three segments is the keypad segment, and the
    other two basically split the normal QWERTY keys down the middle and
    with some extra keys that can be programmed. The keypad could easily be
    placed on the left side. I'm not sure whether the thing is in
    production yet . . . I think not. But you can check it out. It looked
    good for people with special needs. I'm so used to regular QWERTY
    however that anything else would slow me down.

    Hi
    I wanted to swop keys too (cola sticky keys on a laptop ;-)

    Found a GR8 program called KeyTweak
    http://webpages.charter.net/krumsick/

    works seamlessly !

    I then just swopped over the keys - ended up with delete in a better position too !

    You can pick up a USB 10 key pad pretty cheap. I've got one from
    Targus. They are made for laptops, but work fine as an extra 10key
    with a standard keyboard. No drivers, no software, no hassles.
