I think AutoHotKey can do this. but only for this problem i think AHK is oversized and i look for a small tool with only this function.

You can permanently remap keys via the registry in Windows 2000/XP. I think the following would transform NumpadDot into the comma key. But since I haven't tested it, be sure to back up the current value of "Scancode Map" from your registry beforehand. Also, after making the change I believe a reboot is required.
Quote:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout]

"Scancode Map"=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,\
; --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
; BE SURE TO UPDATE THE COUNT BELOW TO REFLECT THE TOTAL NUMBER OF REMAPS + 1 (1 extra for the null terminator):
; --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
02,00,00,00,\
; 01. Comma sent for NumpadDot:
33,00,53,00,\
; 02. Null Terminator (required) (be sure to change the count at the top to reflect this number)
00,00,00,00

Try remapping the numpad dot :
Code:
NumpadDot::Send, `,

Or for something witch is app specific :
Code:
NumpadDot::
   IfWinActive, Openoffice
      {
      Send, `,   ; you must escape the comma
      }
   Else
      {
      Send, .
      }
   return

* Not tested but should work.
Hope it helps

Edit : Don't hesitate. Multiple specific problem solver apps can be worse to use than a powerfull (but simple to programm and use for basic needs) multi automation purpose application like AutoHotkey. You'll can discover by using it how to do many things witch can simplify your computer life.
Take the time to read the topics of the forums and the help file to discover how great time saving AHK can be.

@Chris
I am reading and reading your post, but I do not find exactly what you mean..
How can I backup the current value of Scancode Map?
I do not find it in Regeditor!

What you have postet is a *.reg-file, am I right?

Would be really nice if you could give me an exact description how to remap one key in another permanent!

Thx,
Thalon

The "Scancode Map" entry might not currently exist, in which case it is fairly safe to save the file I posted above as a .reg file and then run it. After that, reboot the system and Comma should now be sent every time you press NumpadDot.

If for any reason you don't like the result, you can undo it by deleting the "Scancode Map" item from the registry and then rebooting again.

Hi Mischa,

if you don't want to use an AutoHotkey-script, even if compiled (and therefore without the need to have AutoHotkey installed after compiling), then maybe this program does the trick for you:

http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/tools/msklc.mspx

Quote:
The Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator (MSKLC) extends the international functionality of Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 systems by allowing users to:
• Create new keyboard layouts from scratch
• Base a new layout on an existing one
• Modify an existing keyboard layout and build a new layout from it
• Multilingual input locales within edit control fields.
• Package the resulting keyboard layouts for subsequent delivery and installation.


Create your own keyboard layout based on the german one. but with a period on the numpad.

But if you decide to use AutoHotkey, then maybe this is useful for you:

Code:
; enter two commas to get a period
:*z?:,,::.

Thanks! :D
This makes downloading MSKLC a lot faster (not to mention more possible)! :mrgreen:
