International US QWERTY layout with AltGr (Right Alt) dead keys via AutoHotkey (Win), MSKLC (Win) and XKB/Xmodmap + .XCompose (Linux).

UltimateKEYS keeps all keys exactly like US QWERTY. Holding down Right Alt or Right Alt + Shift makes other diacritics and symbols accessible. With the ‘Compose key’ (CP), even a larger amount of diacritics and symbols are accessible.
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 (also GPL v3).
=> 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 !
-> CP key (blue) : Compose key (Multi_key), in combination with Right Alt or AltGr.
