-# UltimateKEYS Keyboard Layout (Windows)
-This project is a fork based on the EurKEY Keyboard Layout.
+# 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).
 
-### Download the latest version here :
+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.
 
-- **https://github.com/pieter-degroote/UltimateKEYS/raw/master/UltimateKEYS%20-%202019-04-16.zip**
+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 (Windows)
 
-### Please note :
+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 (preferably as 'Unicode 64-bit', on 32-bit Windows as 'Unicode 32-bit') is required.
 
-- **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.**
+- **AutoHotkey website :  https://www.autohotkey.com/**
+- **Install the latest release of the current v1.1 branch (preferably as 'Unicode 64-bit', on 32-bit Windows as 'Unicode 32-bit').**
+- **Download (and run) the "UltimateKEYS - YYYY-MM-DD.ahk" file from this repository.**
+- **Optionally, you can put the AHK file in the 'Startup' folder to launch at startup.**
+- **Please note :  this is an overlay script, specifically designed for the keyboard layout 'US QWERTY'.**
 
-- **The current version(s) should be sufficiently stable and reliable for everyday use, but are NOT certified for mission-critical systems !**

+## MSKLC integration (Windows)
 
-#### Additional documentation (about EurKEY 1.3 [beta], 2017) :
+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)
 
-**For UltimateKEYS, the majority (99%) of the documentation is the same. In UltimateKEYS, the math symbols have been restored. Furthermore, some additions/changes have been made to support even more letters and symbols, mostly concerning dead key combinations.**
+Experimental support for GNU/Linux via XKB integration (X11) :  see the 'linux-xkb' folder in this repository.
 
+Follow these steps for experimental integration (at your own risk!) :
 
-### Another handy tool for handling '.KLC' files (found in the 'source' folder of the UltimateKEYS package) :
+- Download the files `ultkeys` and `rule.xml` from the 'linux-xkb' 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).
