But to the question about what program to use.

I think hotkeynet will go along way. Probably all the way what i have read. It may be a little harder to setup then for example Keyclone or IS. (I have not looket at it for some time now so it might have changed to be more user friendly) "NOOB friendly in my case"
But if you want to stick with HKN there is alot of ppl here that can probably help you out to set it up right.
