  34 <h2>Installation - AutoHotkey Script (recommended method for Windows)</h2>
  35
  36 <p>The AutoHotkey scripts are highly customizable editions of UltimateKEYS. To work properly, the Windows keyboard has to be set to standard US QWERTY and at least AutoHotkey v1.1 is required.</p>
  37
  38 <ul>
  39 <li>AutoHotkey website&nbsp;: &nbsp;<a href="https://www.autohotkey.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>https://www.autohotkey.com/</strong></a> / <a href="https://github.com/Lexikos/AutoHotkey_L" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>https://github.com/Lexikos/AutoHotkey_L</strong></a>[<a href="https://github.com/Lexikos/AutoHotkey_L/releases" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>/releases</strong></a>]</li>
  40 <li>Install the latest release of the current v1.1 branch (<strong>preferably as ‘Unicode 64-bit’</strong>, on 32-bit Windows as ‘Unicode 32-bit’).</li>
  41 <li>Download (and run) the "UltimateKEYS [SW (Scroll Lock)] - YYYY-MM-DD.ahk" file from this repository.</li>
  42 <li>Optionally, you can put one of the AHK files in the ‘Startup’ folder to launch at startup.</li>
  43 <li>Please note&nbsp;: &nbsp;these are overlay scripts, specifically designed for the keyboard layout ‘US QWERTY’.</li>
  44 <li>Please note&nbsp;: &nbsp;for reliability, only a single instance of one of these scripts should run at the same time&nbsp;!</li>

  49 <h2>Important - Known limitations of AutoHotkey, Windows and Linux</h2>
  50
  51 <p>Win/Linux&nbsp;: &nbsp;When changing the Windows/Microsoft Live/Linux password, using another keyboard layout (like SW) can INTERFERE in some cases where your keystrokes are either registered via the other layout or as standard US QWERTY.</p>
  52
  53 <p>Win (AHK)&nbsp;: &nbsp;On the login screen, the layout script will NOT be loaded, which can result in the WRONG input&nbsp;!<br />
  54 Linux&nbsp;: &nbsp;On the login screen, the layout might NOT be available, which can result in the WRONG input&nbsp;!</p>
  55
  56 <p><strong>=&gt; Win/Linux&nbsp;: &nbsp;<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Only use “BASIC LATIN” characters (codes 32 to 126) for your Windows, Microsoft Live and Linux passwords&nbsp;!</span></strong><br />
  57 Otherwise, it might be impossible to type any Unicode character higher than “Basic Latin” at the login screen/prompt (due to a different keyboard configuration)&nbsp;!&emsp;<strong>=&gt;&emsp;ACCOUNT LOCKOUT<br />
  58 =&gt; Win/Linux&nbsp;: &nbsp;To be “better safe than sorry”, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">ALWAYS make your system passwords VISIBLE during modification&nbsp;!</span></strong></p>
