I did a wee bit of Googling and managed to find various threads on how to use a Dvorak keymapping with the BT Plugin for the 770. However, as the N800 has the same functionality built in I'd like to use the control panel features instead (I've also read that installing the plugin on the N800 may lead to device instability).

So I was wondering if any of you have managed to use a Dvorak keyboard layout with a hardware bluetooth keyboard? Any hints or tips that you may have would be greatly appreciated. I'm happy to hand edit any configuration files that may be needed.

Cheers,

IIRC, the 770's bluetooth applet had a howto on how to (har har har) add layouts. Of course, this may not work with Nokia's (AFAIK) closed-source downgrade of that applet for the N800...
