Windows 10: Can't configure custom keyboard

I was trying to add the COLEMAK layout for my keyboard, but it was not in the default options. I tried to install Windows Keyboard Layout Creator, but that link gives 404, meaning Windows probably stopped the program. How do I customize my keyboard layout? I don't prefer to use third-party software.

Self-configured keyboard?

Hi,

Thank you for your interest in Windows 10.

I suggest you to follow the steps below to configure the keyboard layout:

• 
  Open Settings and click on Time and Language.
  
• 
  Click on Region and Language.
  
• 
  Add the Country and click on add a language and select the language of your choice.
  
• 
  This will take time to download the pack.
  
• 
  Once this is done, Press Windows key + Space and press Space key to choose the keyboard layout.
  

Hope this information is helpful. Please do let us know if you need further assistance, we’ll be glad to assist you.

 

is there any demand for a system configurator?

Cannot get my default keyboard customized - any help with TeamViewer?

Hello Wynona & Ztruker,

Thanks for your replies.

First Ztruker: AutoHotKey is a complex scripting language. What I understand is that you can create and modify complex scripts/tasks that you often have to type. I just need to change ONE character, the bullet-point...

Then Wynona:
I am afraid we are on different tracks. I do NOT need to add a language or one or more existing keyboards. That has been done in W7 and after some small trouble was possible in W10 as well. I use mainly English with US-International Keyboard and can switch to Dutch with the same US-International Keyboard.

What I still want to CHANGE on that US-International Keyboard is just ADD an EXTRA option to the . (dot) key.
Using the good old tool Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator the key combination CTRL-ALT-dot can display the desired • which I often use for bullet lists.
I can create the key.
But then my problem starts:
• How to build the necessary DLL and package that the Keyboard Creator suggests
• Under which name should I save 'my customized' keyboard - with just 1 customization
• How can this new customized keyboard be added to the W10 list of selectable keyboard configurations
• Because only after that I can change my US-International keyboard to the new US-International-WIM keyboard.

I think users familiar with the Keyboard Creator might be the people I try to find - hoping that one of them can do the job with TeamViewer. All links that I checked so far (including yours, Wynona) are not addressing my issue. Or they are written for experts: some denying that W10 can handle the customized keyboards - others denying the denial, others suggesting incomprehensable workarounds. Too much for my simple old brain...

Hoping for help,
Regards,
Wim

PS
I am not aware of any W10 version specifically for Indonesia. I have version 1803 for 64-bit, that is all I know (and understand). A standard version to my knowledge.
