<h1>UltimateKEYS Keyboard Layout (Windows)</h1>\r
\r
-<p>This project is based on US-QWERTY and is forked from the EurKEY Keyboard Layout.</p>\r
+<p>International US-QWERTY layout with AltGr dead keys via AutoHotkey script (Windows).</p>\r
\r
-<p>In UltimateKEYS, all keys are exactly organized as US-QWERTY. 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>\r

\r
-<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 (´) and diaeresis (¨) are found under Alt and Alt+Shift respectively.</p>\r

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 (´) and diaeresis (¨) are found under Alt and Alt+Shift respectively. This project has borrowed several aspects from the EurKEY Keyboard Layout.</p>\r

-<h2>Script for AutoHotkey</h2>\r
+<h2>Installation - AutoHotkey Script (recommended method)</h2>\r
\r
<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>\r
\r
<li><strong>AutoHotkey website : <a href="https://www.autohotkey.com/" target="_blank">https://www.autohotkey.com/</a></strong></li>\r
<li><strong>Download the 'UltimateKEYS - YYYY-MM-DD.ahk' file from this repository.</strong></li>\r
<li><strong>After AutoHotkey is installed, you can optionally put the AHK file in the 'Startup' folder.</strong></li>\r
+<li><strong>Please note : this is an overlay script, specifically designed for the keyboard layout 'US-QWERTY'.</strong></li>\r
</ul>\r

+<h2>Installation - Integration in Windows OS using the compiled KLC version (not recommended)</h2>\r
+\r
+<h3>Important - Please note :</h3>\r
+\r
+<ul>\r
+<li style="font-size: 120%;"><strong>I prefer the method using the AutoHotkey script as it is a less radical approach to the Windows OS. This second method should <u>NOT</u> be used in a production environment !</strong></li>\r
+</ul>\r

+\r
+<h3>Uninstalling a previous version :</h3>\r
+\r
+<p>In case you have already installed a previous version of UltimateKEYS, uninstall it beforehand :</p>\r
+\r
+<ol>\r
+<li>Remove it from the 'language bar'.</li>\r
+<li>Uninstall it via 'Control Panel' -> 'Programs and Features'.</li>\r
+<li>Restart your computer.</li>\r
+</ol>\r
+\r
+<p> </p>\r
+\r
+<h3>Installing UltimateKEYS (secondary method, not recommended on Win 10) :</h3>\r
+\r
+<ol>\r
+<li>Unpack the ZIP file and run 'setup.exe'.</li>\r
+<li>Confirm the UAC (User Account Control) prompt by clicking 'Yes'.</li>\r
+<li>Log off and back on.</li>\r
+<li>Optionally, enable UltimateKEYS as the preferred keyboard layout in the 'language bar'.</li>\r
+</ol>\r
