International US QWERTY layout with enhanced multilingual support for MSKLC (Win) and XKB/Xmodmap (Linux).
UltimateKEYS with Compose Key :
UltimateKEYS - MSKLC Edition (without Compose Key) :
 - Keyboard Layout Image.png)
=> CP key (blue) : Compose Key (Multi_key), in combination with AltGr (Right Alt).
=> Note that the ISO key (next to Left Shift) is not present on standard ANSI keyboards.
=> The MSKLC edition (for Windows) is a slimmed-down version, without Compose Key (optional, via AutoHotkey).
UltimateKEYS keeps all base keys the same as US QWERTY. However, holding down Right Alt (+ Shift) makes other diacritics and symbols accessible.
Via the 'Compose Key' (CP), almost all other diacritics and lots of symbols can be accessed.
It also shares some similarities with "US-International". However, this project attempts to solve the most common difficulties from this counterpart.
One of those : the quotes issue, with ' and " now accessible as usual (or expected).
Further on, UltimateKEYS attempts to harmonize languages with Latin-based alphabets on US QWERTY, and has borrowed some aspects from EurKEY and US-International.
UltimateKEYS is optimized for most languages from Western Europe and the Americas, specifically :
English, Catalan, Danish, Dutch, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish and Swedish (+ some variants).
For Eastern European languages, plus others (having Latin alphabets), their specific additional letters and diacritics are accessible via the Compose Key.
=> These pages feature the legacy version of UltimateKEYS Core.
=> Note that the legacy version is now fully aligned (and corresponds) with : UltimateKEYS Core
(This means that both repositories now have identically the same images and keyboard definition files.)
=> Win/Linux : Only use "BASIC LATIN" 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 "Basic Latin" at the login screen/prompt (due to a different keyboard configuration) ! => ACCOUNT LOCKOUT
=> Win/Linux : ALWAYS make your system passwords VISIBLE during modification !
