I am happy to include any custom keyboard layouts created by users, either with the help of Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator or the Windows Driver Kit. Note that the following drivers are not referenced by any of the supported layouts: Pick the one you are interested in: By features This data come from Windows 6.1000, which contains 210 keyboard drivers and supports 211 keyboard layouts. Several keyboard layouts can share one keyboard driver. The subkeys identify the keyboard layouts (using KLID) and contain layout names as seen by the user, as well as references to the keyboard driver that defines which keys produce which characters. Technically any keyboard layout can be used for any input language, but recent Windows versions started limiting which layouts can be selected for a given language in the user interface.Īll supported keyboard layouts are defined in the registry, under HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layouts. Input language informs the system what language is the typed text supposedly in, which is used for features like spellchecking. Windows distinguishes input languages, keyboard layouts and keyboard drivers. It's not about technicality of design, but this is MY, that is YOURS.Layouts on this website can be linked using: KLID number: Much the same pervasive and perpetual political fight about language, among different countries of different languages, among different countries of the same language, among the same country with different languages, or among regions using the same language but small variations. Much like the story of QWERTY and Dvorak. Overall, i think the way things are has little to do with technical reasons, but rather: (1) historical happenstances. If we re-arrange it to Dvorak, it would close to a good universal layout for majority of Latin-alphabet based languages.
The US-International layout, or the Canadian Multilingual Layout,Īre more close to technical excellency, as it more properly uses If you just use Dvorak Layout, with a Alt Graph that fill key spots more with chars, and with ergonomics considerations, it is trivial to arrive at a layout design that can replace much of these variations and yet be more touch-typing efficient than each of the layout. There is United Kingdom, United Kingdom Extended, US-International.
There's “Spanish (Spain)” and “Spanish (Latin America)”. German Ergonomic Keyboard Layouts: de-ergo, NEO, ADNWĪlso, you'll note that there are a lot unnecessary variations of layout.įor example, there's Canadian Multilingual Standard, Canadian French, French.French Ergonomic Keyboard Layouts: dvorak-fr, bepo, bvofrak.(ergo layouts for different language exist, for example:) If one must create a incompatible layout among nations, simply adopting Dvorak will be much better, because of the simple fact that all vows are on the home row, and all European languages heavily use the vow letters.Įven better is to adopt a Dvorak variant layout modified for their particular language. (the variations between French in France and Canadian French, with respect to typing is basically non-existent.) When you read Wikipedia articles on them, you also read about some criticism similar to the above, and get the sense that these layouts didn't really came from conscious design.įor example, the French speaking people in Canada do NOT use the AZERTY used in France, even though their language is the same. If you look in detail, you'll notice that vast majority of key spaces in most of these layouts are left empty with the AltGraph, a egregious waste of spots.Īnd if you look at their choice of placement for the chars, clearly they have paid absolutely no consideration to touch typing efficiency. In many of these layouts, the right Alt is the AltGraph key, for typing many letters not in English. Idiocy of Swapping KeysĪnother major stupidity is related to entering special characters. One thing i noticed, is that many of them are idiotically designed. Recently, am looking at different keyboard layouts used in different countries, as research
