+# UltimateKEYS Keyboard Layout (Windows/Linux)
+International US QWERTY layout with AltGr (Right Alt) dead keys via AutoHotkey script (Win), MSKLC source (Win) and XKB integration (Linux).

 
 

-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 UltimateKEYS, all keys remain exactly organized as US QWERTY. Except, when `AltGr` (`Right Alt`) or `AltGr+Shift` (`Right Alt + 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).

+## MSKLC integration (Windows)
+
+An MSKLC source file is available for integration on Windows OSes (although not recommended on Windows 10 and not recommended in a production environment).
+
+## XKB integration (Linux)
+
+Experimental support for GNU/Linux via XKB integration (X11) :  see the 'linux' folder in this repository.
+
+Follow these steps for experimental integration (at your own risk!) :
+
+- Download the files `ultkeys` and `rule.xml` from the 'linux' folder.
+- Copy `ultkeys` to `/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols` (root required).
+- Paste the contents of `rule.xml` to either `/usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev.xml` or `/usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdex.extras.xml`, this between the tags `<layoutList>` and `</layoutList>` (root required).
