#Morrowind Key Remapper

##Overview A DirectX keyboard device wrapper to remap the Morrowind keys for opening the console and typing a quote character.

When using a non-US keyboard with Morrowind, often the scan codes for the keys are different, and it is impossible to open the console. DInputWrapper hooks into the DInput device creating function and replaces the device with one which remaps two specific keys: the tilde (~) character key and the quote (') key.

Currently the keys which are mapped to the above are hard-coded for a Japanese keyboard. They are the Insert key (for the tilde or 'open console' key), and the right bracket key (']', for the single quote key). It would be possible to add functionality to read the keys to remap from a configuration file (like MGE).

In fact, this project was largely inspired by the Morrowind Graphics Extender project, specifically because that project requires Bloodmoon to use, and I don't have Bloodmoon. So I spent a frustrating day trying to find some way to use MGE anyway, and ended up recoding the DInput wrapper part to suit my own purpose. The basic idea and the structure of the Visual Studio projects are due to MGE.
