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 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 (by Steffen Brüntjen). + +## Script for AutoHotkey + +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 1.1 (AutoHotkey_L) is required. + +- **AutoHotkey website :  https://www.autohotkey.com/** +- **Download the 'UltimateKEYS - YYYY-MM-DD.ahk' file from this repository.** +- **After AutoHotkey is installed, you can optionally put the AHK file in the 'Startup' folder.** +- **Please note :  this is an overlay script, specifically designed for the keyboard layout 'US-QWERTY'.** + +## Download the latest release + +- **https://github.com/pieter-degroote/UltimateKEYS/releases** + +## Documentation - Keyboard Layout Image, Dead Key Descriptions + +- **https://pieter-degroote.github.io/UltimateKEYS/documentation.html** +- **https://pieter-degroote.github.io/UltimateKEYS/** + +## Enjoy and have fun ! + +Pieter Degroote
