UltimateKEYS Keyboard Layout (Windows/Linux)

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

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 wider amounts 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).

Important - Security Warning

=> 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 !
