There's no sanctioned installer for my particular system. I use DreymaR's graudated Tarmac learning system (with great results so far, btw).

I had to implement it myself because I'm the first one to use it. I know I did something wrong -- but I don't know what. I just produced PKL files using the MS Keyboard Layout Editor and then installed them.

Could you point me toward some source about changing the virtual key codes? I'm using Vista (with Admin priviliges on my account).

Thanks for your help!

I went and got KLM. They have a free Lite edition which is enough for me, because I don't need AltGr and things like that.

I edited my layout, but could not figure out how to fix this problem. I clicked the "Resolve VKs" button, and it said they've been resolved.

I saved and restarted (because I was editing the default layout), but it didn't fix the problem.

What should I do to fix the VKs so L is _really_ L, for example?

Thanks!

There's no way to change the VK directly through MSKLC. In order to change the VKs, save the KLC file, and edit them manually in a text editor.

You can take a look at the Colemak KLC files in the Colemak Windows download. The VK is the second column.

This helped me a lot! Thank you! I still have questions though:

I want the ' key, beside O, to act as the Enter/Return key when pressed without a modifier. But I want to type a % when pressing it with AltGr. You see, I'm using my Caps Lock as AltGr, with all the non-letter symbols on AltGr + letters, but there are too few keys that I can comfortably press if I can't make the ' key have this double meaning. Can this be done, or is Enter/Return special in a way that makes it impossible?

I'm using MSKLC on Windows + editing the .klc file, so if the solution could be described in terms of that, that would be great.

Thanks! But I might wanna be able to swap between qwerty and colemak, at least for now.

I think that's impossible. By editing the .klc file manually you could make the apostrophe key a Return but then that's what it'd be. I don't think you can have a part glyph, part functional key like you want to.

In PKL you can, however. I use PKL quite a lot for my layout needs. It's Windows-only but that's about the only gripe I have with it (well, apart from my wish for multiple Extend mapping sets...).
