OT: Keyboard Layout Creator for Windows

[runrev260805 at m-r-d.de]

Hi,

maybe this is for interest of someone of you, at least for GLX2 editor users with non english keyboard layout.


Microsoft is offering a tool for free, which lets you create new or modify existing keyboard layouts.

The creator builds an installer for the newly crated layout for different plattforms (Intel, AMD) for 32bit and 64 bit.


This tool brought a solution for a problem, which i thougit would never be solved:

I am using GLX2 editor with a non-english Windows. So i have a non-english keyboard layout.

To get \  (Backslash) or @ (commercial at) i have to press the ALT-GR key + an additional key  on a german keyboard. But pressing the ALT-GR key within GLX2 editor opens an internal GLX2-Script. To avoid this i had to either using an english keyboard layout or to create the desired character by pressing the ALT key + the unicode for that character on the numeric keypad. Both ways were not satisfying,

But with Keyboard Layout creator, i was able to replace 2 unimportant characters, with the \ and the @, so i can get them without pressing CTRL or ALT or ALT-GR.

Regards,

Matthhias
