# UltimateKEYS Keyboard Layout (Windows)
-This project is a fork based on US-QWERTY and the EurKEY Keyboard Layout (by Steffen Brüntjen).
+International US-QWERTY layout with AltGr dead keys via AutoHotkey script and MSKLC source.
-### Download the latest version here :
+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.

+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 issues, among which the quotes (' and ") can be used as usual (without pressing the spacebar afterwards), while the acute accent (´) and diaeresis (¨) are found under AltGr and AltGr+Shift respectively. This project has borrowed several aspects from the EurKEY Keyboard Layout (by Steffen Brüntjen).
+## Script for AutoHotkey
-### Please note :
+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.
-- **In case you have installed a previous version of UltimateKEYS, you need to uninstall it before, followed by restarting your computer. Then you can continue installing another version.**
+- **AutoHotkey website : https://www.autohotkey.com/**
+- **Download the 'UltimateKEYS - YYYY-MM-DD.ahk' file from this repository.**
+- **After AutoHotkey is installed, you can optionally put the AHK file in the 'Startup' folder.**
+- **Please note : this is an overlay script, specifically designed for the keyboard layout 'US-QWERTY'.**
-- **The current version(s) should be sufficiently stable and reliable for everyday use, but are NOT certified for mission-critical systems !**
