    How to add a custom keyboard layout?


    I am using a surface pro. The special keyboard for Surface pro just has a Left Ctrl. I do want to change the [Menu]Button which is in the right of Right Alt into Right Ctrl. However, I don't know what is the scancode of the Menu Button.

    :)

  3. Custom keyboard layout not reflected on on-screen keyboard

    Hi,

    On my device with Windows and touch screen I am using a custom keyboard layout (Dvorak with custom characters).

    I have created it with Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator tool - Download Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator 1.4 from Official Microsoft Download Center
    (it is the only tool I know to adjust keyboard layout in Windows).

    Until previous Windows 10 build both physical and on-screen keyboards worked fine.

    But when I upgraded Windows 10 to build 1709 my on-screen keyboard displays wrong (default QWERTY) layout. Still keys work as per my custom layout.

    Reinstalling the keyboard does not fix it.

    Please help. How can I get my custom keyboard layout get properly displayed on on-screen keyboard? Is there any other tool to do it?

    Can I report somewhere a bug in Windows 10 build 1709?

  4. How to add a custom keyboard layout?

    Wrong keyboard layout in login page after update to 1607

    Hi,

    Since the issue reoccurred after updating to anniversary update, I suggest you to reconfigure the QWERTY keyboard layout and check if the same issue persists. This is to check if the issue is with Windows 10 1607 update.

    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 it helps. Revert to us with the results, will be glad to assist you.

    Thank you.
