That looks like a good way to start (even though it is the wrong way round).
The next questions (now I'm on a roll, I'll keep rolling) are these:
1. How do I type a rawKey command? I probably cannot.
2. If I have a script that runs type "q" how do I trap therawKeyDown and
the rawKeyUp codes
so I can get them into a field?
In terms of calibration all this will do is nothing as a stack that has
type "q" is a script will
do just that regardless of the end-user's keyboard layout.
I just set my keyboard layout on my ancient iMac (10.7.5) to Bangla
(Bengali), which wouldn't know
a "q" to save its life.
My test stack still typed a "q" into my field.
I wonder what rawKeyDown and rawKeyUp the type command actually sent?
I have a fantasy that goes a bit like this:
Pseudocode
select after field "ff"
send "rawKeyUp[113]"
but LiveCode "doesn't love me" that much.

See the dictionary entry for the "type" command. This sends
rawKeyUp|rawKeyDown messages
This might let you construct a stack that "calibrates" (or whatever you
want to call it) what keys on any keyboard generate what keyDown number
and what characters

Erm . . .
I want to set up a stack that will list an end-user's keyDowns by
sending their system
a set of rawKeyUps . . .
PseudoCode:
in a button:
on mouseUp
send "rawKeyDown" to key 113
end mouseUp
in the cardScript:
on rawKeyDown XX
get keyUp XX
put XX somewhere useful
end rawKeyDown
