# UltimateKEYS Keyboard Layout (Windows)
-This project is a fork based on 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 on `AltGr+'` and `AltGr+Shift+"` respectively. This project has borrowed several aspects from the EurKEY Keyboard Layout (by Steffen Brüntjen).
+## Script for AutoHotkey
-#### Documentation (about EurKEY 1.3 [beta], 2017) :
+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 v1.1 (AutoHotkey_L) is required.
