I need to write a keyboard remapping program using VB. Here is a description of it has to do:

When I type a+e, the "keyboard remapping program" has to generate æ (ASCII 0230) character instead. When I type o followed by two periods (.), those three keystrokes has translate as ö (ASCII 0246), etc. (get the idea?).
When my "keyboard remapping program" is active keystrokes made in any application (Word. Excel, etc.) will have to remap the keystrokes.
I think I have to use global KeyHook through Win API, but I am not sure how to do it.
MSDN probably has an example of such "KeyHook" API, and I could not figure out how to implement it.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
