NVDA should have 2 sets of key bindings.

[cnorman]

It should be possible to set NVDA to use a "laptop" and a "desktop" keyboard layout, possibly even allowing the user to change the modifier key, possibly to the caps lock key for example

In the current shapshot or even in 0.6p1 version it is possible to use capslock, insert and numpad insert as NVDA modifier keys.
There were some alternate keyboard layouts posted to the NVDA users list. They have not been well tested yet I think. so we may attach them here to make it available until something it's included in the official builds.

Also when new layouts are added we might add a combobox for it into the keyboard settings dialog.

I have attached the latest _default_laptop.kbd I posted to the nvda list on April 2.

Replying to cnorman:

I am Replacing _default_laptop.kbd with my latest copy which reassigns the synthSetting ring keys to the renamed scripts in svn-1980

Added _default_laptop.kbd to svn r1990 (Thanks Doug). Added the keyboard layout combo box to svn r1989. This really needs some testing. Especially the support for appModule-specific layouts.
In regards to setting the modifier to the capslock, the user has been able to do this in the keyboard settings dialog for a long time.
