In case you have installed a previous version of UltimateKEYS, you need to uninstall it before, followed by restarting your computer. Then you can continue installing another version.

The current version(s) should be sufficiently stable and reliable for everyday use, but are NOT certified for mission-critical systems !

Another useful tool for handling '.KLC' files (found in the 'source' folder of the UltimateKEYS package) :
International US QWERTY layout with AltGr (Right Alt) dead keys via AutoHotkey (Win), MSKLC (Win), Xmodmap (Linux) and XKB (Linux).

+
+
UltimateKEYS keeps all keys exactly like US QWERTY, but holding down AltGr (Right Alt) or AltGr+Shift (Right Alt + Shift) makes other diacritics and symbols accessible, and turns some keys into dead keys.
+
+
This way, it shares some similarities with âUS-Internationalâ. However, this project attempts to solve the most common difficulties from its counterpart.
+One of those : the quotes issue, with ' and " now accessible as usual. The similar-looking diacritics are now found on AltGr+' and AltGr+Shift+".
+The layout of this project is derived from EurKEY (by Steffen Brüntjen, GPL v3).
+
+
The feature âSmart error-tolerant optimization for circumflex in Frenchâ allows typing the letters â, ê, î, ô, û more easily.
+The AHK versions also have a âHybrid SWâ edition that allows switching between âClassicâ and âSWâ using the Scroll Lock toggle.

Important - Security Warning
+
+
=> Win/Linux : Only use âBASIC LATINâ characters (codes 32 to 126) for your Windows, Microsoft Live and Linux passwords !
+Otherwise, it might be impossible to type any Unicode character higher than âBasic Latinâ at the login screen/prompt (due to a different keyboard configuration) ! => ACCOUNT LOCKOUT
+=> Win/Linux : ALWAYS make your system passwords VISIBLE during modification !

Difference between Classic and SW (switched) editions
+
+
+
Classic : Keeps all standard keys on US QWERTY and adds customizations to the Right Alt (+Shift) modifier (see image above).
+
SW (switched) : The same as âClassicâ, but when Scroll Lock is enabled, the symbols !, @, #, $, %, ^, &, *, (, ) are accessible without holding down Shift. The numbers have then moved to Shift (as many computers have a separate numpad). The Scroll Lock toggle applies to AutoHotkey only.

Pieter Degroote - Please, give this website a try in dark mode (browser/system settings), it really looks marvel[l]ous ! 😇
+Note : âAltGrâ is an abbreviation for âAlt(ernate) Graphâ.
