Microsoft keyboard layout creator

Hello! Do you have a question about Windows Server or Windows Client for IT Pros? In Word 2003, select Customize from the Tools menu and then click on Keyboard, and you can then re-assign the key combinations. In Word 2007/2010, the Keyboard button is in the Customize Quick Access Toolbar dialog (Office Button>Word Options>Customize) and in Word 2010, it is in the Customize Ribbon dialog (File>Options>Customize Ribbon)-- Hope this helps.Doug Robbins - Word MVP, dkr[atsymbol]mvps[dot]org Posted via the Community Bridge"Japsu" wrote in message news:*** Email address is removed for privacy ***...I'm using a custom keyboard layout created with Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator. This keyboard layout changes the locations of letters, leaving everything else mostly intact with respect to a typical Finnish QWERTY keyboard layout.*In most Windows applications, keyboard shortcuts that use the Ctrl or Win modifiers still use their QWERTY letter keys. Shortcuts that only use the Alt modifier use the custom letter locations of my current keyboard layout. This is the way I expect my applications to work and most, including **Microsoft Office Excel and Powerpoint, work this way.*Then there are some applications that use the letter locations of my custom layout for all keyboard shortcuts, including those that involve Ctrl or Win. Adobe Photoshop Lightroom is one example of these. I can live with applications that work this way as long as they do so consistently.Then finally there is Microsoft Office Word that follows neither of the behaviours outlined above. Some keyboard shortcuts follow the underlying QWERTY layout and some follow the custom keyboard layout. This makes keyboard shortcuts in Word impossible to use. For example, Ctrl and QWERTY letter A invokes Save instead of Select All, but Ctrl and QWERTY letter B still invokes Bold as it should. Ctrl and QWERTY letter C should Copy, but it

Again and delete the key. Sharpkeys supports a larger number of mappings equal to the number of options for a standard keyboard layout (104). The Type Key feature helps the program recognize the keys with a key press. Unlike MapKeyboard, this application does not map mouse buttons. But depending on the program support for your brand of your keyboard, it can open a few applications and also map buttons for Internet keys. Sharpkeys is supported on Windows XP/2003/2000/Vista/7. KeyTweak KeyTweak is another easy to use tool for redefining the keyboard layout. Like MapKeyboard, this 280KB freeware displays a full keyboard as a visual aid. The virtual keyboard is numbered and mapped to the current keys on the physical keyboard. Highlight the key on the KeyTweak interface and select the remapped key from the dropdown. You can also map it to multimedia or Internet keys if your keyboard has those features. The latest version also lets you map it to Macintosh keys. You can suppress specific keys with a click on Disable Key. KeyTweak has two Teach Modes. The Full Mode allows a user to press two keys simultaneously and map one to the other. The Half Mode gives the options available using a dropdown. The Teach Modes offer a more intuitive way to map the keys. KeyTweak also can be run as a portable app with just the KeyTweak.exe file. The one nice thing about the program is the detailed PDF help file that's packaged with the program. Do read the brief file to understand why some keys cannot be remapped. KeyTweak (ver. 2.3.0) is supported on Windows NT4.0/2000/XP/2003/Vista/7. These three tools are the ones to go for if you want simplicity and portability. Microsoft also has an application of its own which downloads as a 10MB package and is slightly more complicated to run. The main purpose of the Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator is to widen the international scope of Microsoft by letting users change the layout to languages that MS does not support. The free program lets you define an entirely new layout of keys. Do you think that remapping keys gives you a more ergonomic experience? Do you think it will add to your productivity?

Esperanto Accented Characters in WindowsIt's not as easy to set up as clicking a checkbox like Ubuntu/Gnome, but it is possible to type proper Esperanto characters in Windows using Right Alt as a modifier key. You need to create and install an alternate keyboard layout and then set the new layout active.The program Keyboard Layout Creator is used to create the layout, and is available for free from Microsoft. Once it's downloaded and installed, start the program. Navigate File > Load Existing Keyboard and then select your primary keyboard layout (standard US layout in my case). You'll use this as a base and augment it with the Esperanto characters.For each key that will should an accented character, right-click its position on the virtual keyboard and click "Properties for VK_? in all shift states". A dialog will appear in which the necessary Unicode code points can be entered.The code points for the accented Esperanto letters are shown below, as well as for the Euro and Spesmilo just for fun:If you don't want to enter the Unicode values yourself, feel free to use a copy of my keyboard definition file.When you're finished setting the code points for each letter, navigate Project > Test Keyboard Layout to test them. Then, navigate Project > Properties to provide the necessary name and other descriptive information for the new layout. The name cannot be longer than eight characters, so I simply named mine "EO".Once you're satisfied with the layout, navigate Project > Build DLL and Setup Package. The keyboard layout will be compiled to a binary format usable by Windows and be saved to your hard drive. Run the setup.exe installer that was written to disk install the layout. The installer will detect your system's architecture and launch the appropriate sub-installer.Restart your computer once the installer is finished. You'll then be able to toggle between your original layout and the Esperanto layout using the Language Bar.I set the augmented layout as my default keyboard layout (although I don't recommend this unless you're computer savvy). To do this on Windows 7, go to the Start menu, type

2003, are also compatible.) The included keyboard chart shows exactly what keystroke the user must type. The second keyboard layout (called the CopticLSU Deadkey layout) works with any Unicode-compatible application and uses dead key input to type letters with their associated diacritics. The user first types the dead key (representing the diacritic or diacritic combination) and nothing appears to happen on screen. Then the user types the letter and the pre-composed letter with its diacritic(s) appears in the document. The third and fourth keyboard layouts are for typing English and other Latin 1 languages supported by the fonts. One keyboard supports the OpenType features built into the font and works only with Word, InDesign, or OpenOffice.org, as a companion to the first keyboard (CopticLSU OT) described above. The other English keyboard uses dead key input, allowing it to work with any Unicode-compatible application. It is a companion layout to the second keyboard (CopticLSU Deadkey) described above. Users do not need to install or use these keyboards, but can continue to use their own national keyboard, if desired, for typing Latin 1 languages. Users can easily switch between keyboard layouts at any time using a keyboard shortcut. Detailed instructions and printable keyboard layout charts showing all keystrokes are included in the product.Windows System Requirements: Operating Systems Requires, Windows 10, 8, Windows 10, 8, 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP, or Windows 2000.
