		<description>I don&#039;t suppose there is a mirrorboard for dvorak, and for windows?

I live in Iceland and since the qwerty keymap is horrendously awful in Icelandic, I am using a customized dvorak that was edited in Windows Keyboard Creator or whatever it&#039;s called so that alt-gr toggles all those beloved special keys I need to use on a daily basis. It&#039;d be super cool if there were any way to do this somehow. It could also be a solution to ctrl w, c, v .r shortcuts being very inconveniently on the right side.

Also, before you bash me for using windows... Honestly I just can&#039;t be bothered with searching for linux versions of programs. Not to mention having to emulate all games =(</description>

		<description>I attempted implementing what you said might be easy with a perl script, but instead I used the Helsinki Finite State Transducer project and TWOLC. All it takes is a huge wordlist and a single TWOLC rules. I initially tried in python, but searching through a huge wordlist takes a good amount of time, so it seemed like something like this would be a bit more ideal; and it is in a way-- results come quite immediately.

It works basically so that you give input; such as gwvwsrsr, and you get honolulu as output; it also works well with mixed left and right words. Some words however, due to the nature of wordlists have several suggestions that are outputted. 

test
test    yest
test    yelt
test    test
test    telt
test    tilt

I guess all it needs next is a means for searching for input from X. It seems like a corrective typing approach, instead of a spellchecking approach might be something fun and worth implementing... However, a good method for selecting between all of the potential correct spelling suggestions is necessary first before it can really be useful... Also, a means for handing what to do when the word is not actually in the dictionary is necessary; so the mirroring key would still need to be a present option.</description>
