+### Important - Please note :
 
-**For UltimateKEYS, the majority (99%) of the documentation is the same. In UltimateKEYS, the math symbols have been fixed. Furthermore, some additions/changes have been made to support even more letters and symbols, mostly under combinations with the dead keys.**
+- **The current version(s) should be sufficiently stable and reliable for everyday use, but are _NOT_ certified for mission-critical systems !**

+## Script for AutoHotkey
+
+In case you prefer this approach, there is also a highly customizable, slimmed down script. Just note that there are no dead keys when using this script (plus some small modifications have been made). To work properly, the Windows keyboard has to be set to standard US-QWERTY.
