I decided to switch over to colemak, but English keyboards are slightly diffrent to american keyboards
(our shifted 3 is £ instead of #, our shifted 2 is " instead of @, our shifted ' is @ instead of ", etc...etc)

So, i made a UK Colemak layout, so that people who own UK Style keyboards can use colemak easier.
Feel free to put it on your website.

Created with Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator 1.4

Also, registry patch made with KeyTweak

Oh, how wonderful to see a version of colemak that is worthy of being used in HM's glorious nation! I'm sorry I can't try it out at the moment, but I surely will as soon as I can. Great work, keep it going, everyone!

Looks nice, but it's missing the extra bits (international chars) - I know most people don't use them, but some want them. You got all the functionality of the normal UK QWERTY in there as far as I could see, at least. But that's not much.

Ideally, you should change the VK_ codes to their rightful positions. They're still the Dvorak ones. It takes an editing of the file to do that though.

[See also my new topic about the left shift on the bottom row!]
