<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>Installation - AutoHotkey Script (recommended method)</h2>\r

\r
<h3>Important - Please note :</h3>\r
\r
<ul>\r
-<li style="font-size: 120%;"><strong>The current version(s) should be sufficiently stable and reliable for everyday use, but are <u>NOT</u> certified for mission-critical systems !</strong></li>\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
