Everytime I install a fresh copy of Windows, I run into the same issue: Getting the dvorak international layout to work.
So, here's what I found that seems to work on my last attempt.
First, make sure you have:
- .Net Framework 2.x. It can be found on the microsoft downloads page.
- Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator 1.4 (if a newer version is ever released, it might work as well).
Open MSKLC and load the dvx.klc keyboard layout. The layout can be customized at will
at this point.
- Build: Project ->
Build DLL and Setup Package, clickYeswhen asked to open the created folder. - Install: On that folder, execute
setupand click yes on the UAC message. - Restart: Don't think "I don't want to restart my computer," do it.
If you can't find the generated folder, it might be somewhere around
Documents/dvx.
Now you are good to go; Go to Settings, Time & Language, Region & Language,
English (or whatever language you have) -> Options, Add a keyboard ->
United States-Dvorak International (Or the closest you see).
Some of the default keys (If you are too lazy for checking them on MSKLC), are:
(being Alt the right Alt)
- Alt + a -> á
- Alt + e -> é
- Alt + i -> í
- Alt + o -> ó
- Alt + u -> ú
- Alt + n -> ñ
- Alt + y -> ü
- Alt + \ -> ¬
FTR, keep in mind that these links could change or just stop working. In that event, please google around and/or let me know.
