New itemsThe “international niamey keyboard” LayoutDescribes the “international niamey keyboard” layout proposed by Mann and Dalby. Presentations and working papers in the area of inputThis page contains various papers on input related issues which have been presented at conferences. An introduction to keyboard design theory: What goes where?Designing a keyboard is relatively easy: you just allocate codepoints to keystrokes. The difficulty comes when trying to decide what codepoints to assign to what keystrokes. Do you design based around the characters on the keytops of a user's keyboard or the relative position of the keys? What do you do if you want to be able to type more characters than there are keys in your keyboard? SILConverters 3.0This package provides tools through which you can change the encoding, font, and/or script of text in Microsoft Word and other Office documents, XML documents, and SFM text and lexicon documents. It also installs a system-wide repository to manage your encoding converters and transliterators (TECkit, CC, ICU, Perl, or Python-based, as well as support for adding custom transduction engines). Tai Dam KeyboardsTwo Tai Dam keyboard layouts are provided for keying text in the Tai Viet script. UkeleleUkelele is a Unicode keyboard layout editor for Mac OS X versions 10.2 and later. A maintenance release of Ukelele, version 1.8.4 (universal binary) is now available for download. This version works on Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) as well as earlier versions. Friendly Right-to-Left Editor (FRED) Tavultesoft KeymanKeyman is a keyboard management utility that makes it practical to input many different languages in almost any Windows application. Keyman allows you to have arbitrarily long input sequences and to have diacritics typed after the base character. Ukelele version historyRelease notes from older versions of the Ukelele tool. KeyLayoutMaker:KeyLayoutMaker is a Perl script designed to create Mac OS X keyboard layout files, based on simple lists of keystrokes and required Unicode characters. It is particularly suited to creating layouts for syllabic scripts. SILKey for MacintoshSILKey is a suite of programs that can be used to modify the behavior of the Macintosh keyboard when typing in any standard Macintosh word processor or other text-editing program. Written by Jonathan Kew, it is very similar to, but is not based on, the Keyman program for Windows. Known Unicode Keyman KeyboardsThis is a list of SIL Unicode Keyman keyboards as well as some other websites which have Unicode Keyman keyboards available for download. IPA Unicode KeyboardsThis page contains keyboards created for typing in IPA data. On Windows, three keyboarding options are available: an IPA Keyman keyboard and keyboards which work through the Windows keyboarding system (MSKLC) for US and UK keyboard layouts. A third option is now available using the AutoHotkey program. We also now provide an IPA keyboard for Linux as a debian package. Installable keyboards for Mac OS X version 10.2, designed to allow entry of Unicode 5.0 IPA characters. Includes Dvorak version. SIL Keyboarding Chart for Africa IPA SIL keyboards for Mac OS XInstallable keyboards for Mac OS X version 10.2 and higher, designed to allow entry of Unicode 5.1 IPA characters. Includes Dvorak version. Some tools and resources for character inputLinks to useful tools for character input. IPA Unicode Windows Keyboards - old versionsThis page contains non-current versions of keyboards created for typing in IPA data on Windows machines. Hebrew-Greek Transliteration Unicode Keyboard for MacintoshA simplified transliteration scheme for typing Hebrew or Greek transliteration in Unicode applications, with layout based on the Macintosh U.S. extended keyboard. Keyman KeyboardsDownloadable keyboard definitions, for use with Tavultesoft's Keyman software. Legacy Fonts and KeyboardsThe fonts and keyboards on this page are considered "legacy" solutions. As such, they are made available for use and downloading, although Unicode solutions are encouraged. Keyboard-related registry keys in Microsoft WindowsThis document lists a number of registry keys and file types and locations that are used for keyboard management in Windows, and also some Keyman-specific settings. Bible Translation & Literacy keyboardThis keyboard was developed for use by BTL (Bible Translation & Literacy) language teams in Kenya. It was originally created for customized fonts but has been updated for Unicode.
