   5 These AutoHotkey scripts are highly customizable editions of UltimateKEYS. To work properly, the Windows main/base keyboard layout has to be set to&nbsp;:
   6
   7 **=&gt; AltGr assigned to UltimateKEYS**
   8
   9 - [UltimateKEYS (MSKLC implementation)](https://pieter-degroote.github.io/UltimateKEYS/integration-msklc.html)&emsp;[![Core Release](https://img.shields.io/github/release/pieter-degroote/UltimateKEYS-core.svg?label=core)](https://github.com/pieter-degroote/UltimateKEYS-core/releases)
  10 - [US QWERTY (Euro)](https://github.com/pieter-degroote/us-qwerty-euro)&emsp;[![GitHub Release](https://img.shields.io/github/release/pieter-degroote/us-qwerty-euro.svg)](https://github.com/pieter-degroote/us-qwerty-euro/releases)
  11 - [US Intl AltGr dead keys](https://github.com/pieter-degroote/us-intl-altgr-dk)&emsp;[![GitHub Release](https://img.shields.io/github/release/pieter-degroote/us-intl-altgr-dk.svg)](https://github.com/pieter-degroote/us-intl-altgr-dk/releases)
  12 - Hausa (Latin, Nigeria) (based on US QWERTY, see settings)
  13 - Romanian (Programmers) (based on US QWERTY, see settings)
  14 - English (India) (based on US QWERTY, see settings)
  15 - or any other layout that is fully based on US QWERTY
  16
  17 **=&gt; Right Alt assigned to UltimateKEYS (secondary choice)**
  18
  19 - United States (US)
  20
  21 Notes&nbsp;: &nbsp;"Romanian (Programmers)" does not contain some special control codes (Ctrl+\[: u+001b, Ctrl+\\: u+001c, Ctrl+\]: u+001d), but I could not find any specific use cases requiring these mappings. "English (India)" also emits an Indian rupee sign (₹) via Ctrl+Shift+4.

  23 **_Note about the standard base US layout&nbsp;:_**
  24
  25 When two or more languages/keyboards are installed on the system, the default 'Alt + Shift' sequence will interfere with the AHK scripts.
  26 To avoid this, you can disable the interfering key sequences at&nbsp;:
  27 Win 10&nbsp;: &nbsp;*Settings -&gt; Time &amp; Language -&gt; Language -&gt; Spelling, typing &amp; keyboard settings (on the right) -&gt; Advanced keyboard settings -&gt; Input language hot keys*
  28 Win 11&nbsp;: &nbsp;*Settings -&gt; Time &amp; Language -&gt; Typing -&gt; Advanced keyboard settings -&gt; Input language hot keys*
  29 Please note that on the standard US QWERTY, the sequence 'Left Alt + Shift' also gets mistakenly triggered by 'Right Alt + Shift', resulting in an unexpected keyboard layout change.
