here's a significantly simpler solution:

Code:
; Use Scroll Lock to control keyboard ("on" is Dvorak)
; and do not let Control, Alt, or Win modifiers act on Dvorak
Loop {
   If GetKeyState("ScrollLock", "T")
   and !GetKeyState("Control")
   and !GetKeyState("Alt")
   and !GetKeyState("LWin")
   and !GetKeyState("RWin") {
      Suspend, Off
   } else {
      Suspend, On
   }
   Sleep, 50
}

; QWERTY to Dvorak mapping

thanks for the scripts, but I was wondering if we can do it the other way around.

I have my default keyboard to Dvorak. So, all I need is a script that tells my keyboard to change to qwerty whenever I press the Ctrl, Alt or Win keys, and back to Dvorak right after that.

Is this possible?

TIA.

Thanks for this.

I made one with just the hotkeys, but this one works a little better, faster switching of the keyboard layout too is essential. The biggest hump to learning dvorak is that all hotkeys for most programs "hitting alt v, f, etc" for bringing up menus on stuff like explorer, photoshop, etc. is made for the qwerty layout, using a mouse and one hand keyboard is easy on qwerty because of this, but impossible on dvorak.

This script helps out with this alot, adds an extra button when flipping through tasks and programs, but helps out immensily.

Thanks!

So I finally got around to compiling versions for download, kindly hosted by Dropbox (which I am madly in love with).

Note that these versions are identical to my original post, EXCEPT the Dvorak-QWERTY toggle key is Scroll Lock instead of Right Windows (RWin).

Version with no message window:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/107074/Dvorak-QWERTY_Command/DvorakQWERTYCommand.exe

Version with message window (for the uninitiated):
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/107074/Dvorak-QWERTY_Command/DvorakQWERTYCommand-Portable.exe

Everything in one zip file:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/107074/Dvorak-QWERTY_Command/Dvorak-QWERTY_Command.zip

Enjoy!

P.S. If you are interested in trying Dropbox, this link will get you and me an extra 250MB free.
