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. -- **https://github.com/pieter-degroote/UltimateKEYS/raw/master/UltimateKEYS%20-%202019-05-17.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 -### 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.
