In UltimateKEYS, all keys remain exactly organized as US QWERTY. Except, when AltGr (Right Alt) or AltGr+Shift (Right Alt + Shift) is pressed in combination with another key, other diacritics and symbols are accessible and some keys become dead keys.
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, including the quotes (' and "), which can be used as usual (without pressing the space bar afterwards). The acute accent (´) and diaeresis (¨) can be found on AltGr+' and AltGr+Shift+" respectively. The layout of this project is derived from EurKEY (by Steffen Brüntjen).
Additionally, recent releases also feature "Smart error-tolerant optimization for circumflex in French", allowing you to type the letters â, ê, î, ô, û more easily.
=> Win/Linux : Only use "BASIC LATIN" characters (codes 32 to 126) for the 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 !
-> Blue keys : defined as dead keys, but only in combination with Right Alt (+Shift) or AltGr (+Shift).

Pieter Degroote - Please, give this website a try in dark mode (browser/system settings), it really looks marvel[l]ous ! 😇
Note : 'AltGr' is an abbreviation for 'Alt(ernate) Graph'.
