Probably not, lol. Considering that linux is open source and they can add whatever they want, and windows is a corporation and is subject to beurocratic nonsense, I forsee nothing helpful for you.

Na it's like this (I don't know if you americans also got this)
european keyboards have something that are called deadkeys by the linux community on my keyboard I got 3 of them: ^, ´ and `
When I type one of these chars nothing happens. Then you need to add a second char to make the char appear for example hit space to get the original char.
When I want an á for example I hit ´ then a
the thing is I'm never ever going to need these things and it would be more convenient to use these keys as normal keys (that's a nodeadkeys keymap)
like I want to press ^ to actually get ^
(it's better under windows then in lin by the way. pressing ^ twice gives me ^^ since the second press cancels out the dead key and adds the char twice since it was typed twice. under lin the second hit to the key cancels out the dead key but only adds the first press to the current buffer so you only get a single ^)
...
and redilion I know what linux is and I know what windows is and this can be openly changed since you have a lot of access to the keymap and keyboard drivers in windows

Have you tried LinuxHelp.com on the forums. I am pretty sure I have run across this problem before. My friedn might know how to do it. Hold on I 'll be back on later with an answer if I can find one.
