AutoHotkey Community

OK, I made the needed changes, I just edited the layout.ini file.

Maybe combining it with http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=79188 might be interesting, so you can see a realtime-heatmap on the keys.

Two things:

I want to make my own layout (my own programmer version of colemak) and I have no idea how. I have no experience with AHK and I found this post from the PKB site.

AGr is not working for the current default Colemak layout: If I have to be holding the alt key, it doesn't work. If I don't have to hold it (deadkeys), then it works. For example (using the colemak layout for reference), pressing AGr + x then z, I get ẑ (which I am supposed to get) but pressing AGr + s, I get windows bleeping at me. It is supposed to give me ß. I am using Windows 7.

Also I know I am necromancing. Why is this post dead anyways? Is there now a better way to do this?

Edit: This shoddy picture represents what I want my layout to look like. Caps lock should affect the number row. http://imgur.com/PSDBC
It would also be nice if I could also type in greek (using AGr or dead keys?). I am mostly using this layout for Javascript and LaTeX.

This thread isn't dead - why do you say that? It's old though. But I have no better way of doing it on Windows and I love my PKL.

I have no idea why your AltGr mappings wouldn't work. Mine do, not just the hotkeys but all of it.

Doing a little search on the Colemak forums, I found something that might help you:

Hope that works for you.

P.S.: Your layout hurts my eyes! ;þ

This thread is old and hasn't seen traffic in a while.

Thanks for the link to the Colemak forums, it seems they have a bunch of stuff on PKL that might be useful. However, I still have no idea how to configure the program at all. That post on its own isn't very helpful because I don't really know what any of it means. Where did everyone acquire this knowledge?

I made that layout image in like 5 mins on paint. If I make myself an actual reference image, I will probably make it prettier.
