Key remapping software

If I remember correctly there are programs out there which can -temporarily- remap keys. So you could, for example, remap the W key to the Up cursor key.

I'll see if I can find a decent one which runs fine on my 64-bit Windows 7. If I don't forget I'll reply to this thread to inform you about it.

(I'm in need of remapping even though I'm right handed, I'm just to used to the cursor keys and WASD-gaming is just horrible for me)

AutoHotkey

AutoHotkey is a good open-source remapping software for Windows.
It takes a little scripting though but remap scripts are simple.
Create a script with the following:
#IfWinActive ahk_class SunAwtFrame
Up::w
Left::a
Down::s
Right::d
return
#IfWinNotActive ahk_class SunAwtFrame
w::w
a::a
s::s
d::d
return
The script checks if the client is running and remaps the arrow keys to wasd.
You can download the same script here:
If you don't want to download AutoHotkey, I compiled the script into a stand-alone. 
Just run the exe when you play Minecraft.
