UltimateKEYS Keyboard Layout (Windows/Linux)

+ +

International US QWERTY layout with AltGr (Right Alt) dead keys via AutoHotkey (Win), MSKLC (Win), Xmodmap (Linux) and XKB (Linux).
+ Pieter-Degroote.info

+ +

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 BrÃ¼ntjen, GPL v3).

+ +

The feature âSmart error-tolerant optimization for circumflex in Frenchâ allows typing the letters Ã¢, Ãª, Ã®, Ã´, Ã» 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 !

+ +

Keyboard Layout Image (Classic)

+ +

-> Blue keys : dead keys in combination with Right Alt (+Shift) or AltGr (+Shift).

+ +

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.
