  31 <h1>UltimateKEYS Keyboard Layout (Windows)</h1>
  32
  33 <p>International US-QWERTY layout with AltGr dead keys via AutoHotkey script (Windows).</p>
  34
  35 <p>In UltimateKEYS, all keys remain exactly organized as US-QWERTY. Except, when AltGr or AltGr+Shift is pressed in combination with another key, other diacritics and symbols are accessible and some keys become dead keys.</p>
  36
  37 <p>In that way, it is - somehow - similar to the layout "United States-International" (on Windows), although this project moves all dead key combinations to the modifiers AltGr and AltGr+Shift. That way, this project solves the most typical caveats, among which the quotes (' and ") can be used as usual (without pressing the spacebar afterwards), while the acute accent (&#x00b4;) and diaeresis (&#x00a8;) are found under Alt and Alt+Shift respectively. This project has borrowed several aspects from the EurKEY Keyboard Layout (by Steffen Br&uuml;ntjen).</p>

  41 <h2>Installation - AutoHotkey Script (recommended method)</h2>
  42
  43 <p>This AutoHotkey script is a highly customizable version of UltimateKEYS. To work properly, the Windows keyboard has to be set to standard US-QWERTY and at least AutoHotkey 1.1 (AutoHotkey_L) is required.</p>
  44
  45 <ul>
  46 <li><strong>AutoHotkey website : &nbsp;<a href="https://www.autohotkey.com/" target="_blank">https://www.autohotkey.com/</a></strong></li>
  47 <li><strong>Download the 'UltimateKEYS - YYYY-MM-DD.ahk' file from this repository.</strong></li>
  48 <li><strong>After AutoHotkey is installed, you can optionally put the AHK file in the 'Startup' folder.</strong></li>
  49 <li><strong>Please note : &nbsp;this is an overlay script, specifically designed for the keyboard layout 'US-QWERTY'.</strong></li>
