--General--
Keyboard Localizer lets you remap the keys on your Palm Portable Keyboard.
With Keyboard Localizer you can create your own individual layout, just the way you want it.
If you are used to any other keyboard layout than the US-standard layout, i.e. Swedish, French,
Italian, Dutch, Portuguese, Canadian, Brazilian , dvorak, ... and so on, then Keyboard Localizer is for you.
Keyboard Localizer is tested together with the Palm Portable Keyboard and the 1.1 version of
the original driver. The 1.2 version is slightly different than the 1.1 version and for full
functionality of Keyboard Localizer you should use the 1.1 version of the original driver.
To use Keyboard Localizer you will need HackMaster installed on your Palm .
HackMaster is a great shareware software created by Edward Keyes and can be downloaded
from www.palmgear.com or www.daggerware.com .

To remap a key on your Palm Portable Keyboard:
1 Launch HackMaster and tap on the + button next to "Keyboard Localizer".
2 Tap on the key you want to remap with the stylus.
3 Tap on the popup trigger below "Shift" if you want to change the character typed when
holding in the shift-key and the key, and tap on the popup trigger below "Normal" if you want
to change the character typed when typing the key without shift.
4 Navigate in the popup list with the Up and Down hardware buttons.
5 Select the new character in the popup list and tap on the OK button when finished.
6 Done
In the onscreen Keyboard the changes made will be visible. To see the shifted layout select
either of the shift-keys. To go back to the original layout choose "Reset Keyboard" from the Options menu.
To just reset one key, tap on that key and choose "Reset Key" from the Options menu.
All the keys can not be changed.
The keys that are not changeable are: Backspace, Enter, Tab, CAPS LOCK, Shift, CTRL, Alt , Cmd, Fn,
Space x 2 , Done, Del and the arrow keys. I might change this in the next version.
To type the character that originally was on any key, hold in the CTRL-key and that key when typing.
To get the shifted character hold in the CTRL-key and shift and the key.
