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).

+ +

Download the latest release

+ +

XKB integration (Linux, experimental)

+ +

Experimental support for GNU/Linux via XKB integration (X11) : see the âlinux-xkbâ folder in this repository.

+ +

Follow these steps for experimental integration (at your own risk!) :

+ +

Download/Unpack the files "ultkeys", "ultkeys-sw", "rule_xml" and "rule-sw_xml" from the "linux-xkb" folder.
Copy "ultkeys[-sw]" to "/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols" (root required).
Paste the contents of "rule[-sw]_xml" to either "/usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev.xml" or "/usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev.extras.xml", this between the tags <layoutList> and </layoutList> (root required).
+Make sure to keep a backup copy of the original files.
Both the Classic (files without â-swâ) and SW layouts (files with â-swâ) can be installed alongside each other. The user interface will display them as "UltimateKEYS" and "UltimateKEYS SW".
Additionally, the file ".XCompose" can be put in the userâs home directory (~) to apply custom dead key definitions for UltimateKEYS [SW].
System passwords : only âBASIC LATINâ (codes 32 to 126); ALWAYS make the admin/root password VISIBLE during modification !

+ +

Important - Known limitations of AutoHotkey, Windows and Linux

+ +

Win/Linux : When changing the Windows/Microsoft Live/Linux password, using another keyboard layout (like SW) can INTERFERE in some cases where your keystrokes are either registered via the other layout or as standard US QWERTY.

+ +

Win (AHK) : On the login screen, the layout script will NOT be loaded, which can result in the WRONG input !
+Linux : On the login screen, the layout might NOT be available, which can result in the WRONG input !

+ +

=> 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 : To be âbetter safe than sorryâ, ALWAYS make your system passwords VISIBLE during modification !
