Maping Character to Different Virtual Key

[Gregery D Engle]

Lets say I want to map character "A" to Virtual Key 81 ("Q")

I looked at MapVirtualKey but it doesn't look like that is
what I'm looking for.

I want the computer to print the letter A everytime the
user pressed the Q button. This needs to happen on all
applications, not just my app.

Any ideas?

Might, maybe, be possible to do this with a global system hook. This technique makes the operating system slower and less stable, though, as the keyboard input queues for all programs become tied to a single global queue: one reason Microsoft dumped that handy old "macro recorder" application.

The "proper" way to do it probably requires a device driver.
