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. +International US QWERTY layout with AltGr (Right Alt) dead keys via AutoHotkey script (Win), MSKLC source (Win, obsolete) and XKB integration (Linux, experimental). Derived from EurKEY (by Steffen Brüntjen). -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). +[![GitHub Release](https://img.shields.io/github/release/pieter-degroote/UltimateKEYS.svg)](https://github.com/pieter-degroote/UltimateKEYS/releases) -## Script for AutoHotkey +## Important - Security Warning : -This AutoHotkey script is a highly customizable version of UltimateKEYS.
