Emulating the maltron thumb "E" on an ordinary keyboard

[Popkeymon]

I am not a geek of the auto hotkey stuff. However, I learnt from a one handed layout named "Ngaih" which fully utilize the "functional keys" such as the win-key, right alt and right ctrl to map with alphabet for minimise hand travel over the board.

As we understand the Maltron has utilize the left thumb for mapping "E" to increase the home row hitting rate. We can remap the left win key to "E" and then further evolve the home row capability to construct high efficiency.

I did not have the knowledge to remap the keys through the add on software. But this would allow all of us to breakthrough the "standard" way of typing and allow emulation of maltron layout without paying so much money and further improve the way we type.

E - the most used key -  must be the easiest key to type. Not Win key.

Popkeymon, have a look at autohotkey.  It's quite easy to set up a script to remap your keyboard - I use it to remap qwerty to dvorak and I can easily turn it off when I switch to a (hardware) dvorak keyboard.
