I would like to know if there is a specific keyboard to type Esperanto letters, like
there is a keyboard to write Russian, Polish, Portuguese, English etc. The keyboards of the languages above are already present in the keyboard layout of Windows, differently from the Esperanto one, which it's not. So, if there is a keyboard layout to Eperanto or any language that have the same chars as Esperanto, tell me. If you can only tipe these chars with an online keyboard or with X method, I will be sad. I'd like to type these letters normally. ----------------------------- Here you can download my layout: http://minus.com/mKMKYbkms#1 It's windows keyboard layout like any other one, but custom-made with the Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator 1.4 It has a ReadMe file which teaches how to select the layout and use it This keyboard is a mod of the US international keyboard. Altgr + letter gives the esperanto letters. Altgr + c gives ĉ Altgr + u gives ŭ etc. Other letters are also available.

There are many ways to modify the keyboard layout, switching language is only one of them. Someone has
probably already made a preset that you could use if you google it. ĝĥĉĵǔ 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

There are various Windows programs and custom keymaps to type Esperanto. See the thread about putting ^ above c.
Under Linux, it can be even simpler. I simply checked a box in my system settings and hit alt-gr before the letters I want accented for Esperanto. ĉĝĥĵŝŭ... nothing to it. If you're on a Mac or other system, it's also possible, but the exact instructions are once again different. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

ĝusta klavaro looks like one option; I haven't tried it, as I don't have any iDevices. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Thanks for the tips, I've already made a layout with Microsoft™ Keyboard Layout Creator® 1.4 and installed in my computer
and everything is fine. Look ŝĉŭĥĵĝ :D Edited by Venustus on 04 December 2011 at 9:36pm 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Note that I already created a special keyboard layout for language geeks, and you can
download it from http://www.learnlangs.com/temp/us_internacieta_klavaro.zip . All the keys are in their usual place, but the key above Tab now allows you to type Esperanto, German and Spanish letters: ĉ, ĝ, ĥ, ĵ, ŝ, ä, ö, ü, ñ. For ŭ, hit this button and then w. For ß, hit this button and then b. Shift + the key above Tab now gives you all letters with ` accent, including à, è, ǹ, ẁ and so on. Shift + 6 gives you all letters with ´ accent, including á, é, ń, ś and so on... Shift + 6 and c is used for the French c cedilla (ç). I assumed that people don't need to type Chinese Pinyin or Maori or other macron- languages often, so the macron and the inverted circumflex accent are only reachable through a combination of these dead keys. On the keyboard layout that I created for myself, which is based on the German keyboard layout, I turned more keys into dead keys and thereby made macrons and ˇ more readily accessible. It's a trade-off. 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Thanks Sprachprofi but how does it work ? I've installed the program by clicking on
setup.exe and a message said the program has been sucessfully installed. But what about now ? What should I do ? 1 person has voted this message useful |
