Windows 10: How to customize Windows 10 keyboard layout?

I need to know how to add special keys on my current layout.

Please don't tell me how to add another keyboard for French, I want one single keyboard.

Please don't tell me about Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator, the download is not available any more, and even if I managed to find the install file, it doesn't work. When I build the project, I get errors: CL.exe returned 1, LC.exe returned 1, and so on.

Thank you!

Custom keyboard layout with Windows 10

Yes, I've gone over to using KLM Keyboard Layout Manager, it costs a small amount of money but at least it works as promised.

 

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 - https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=22339
(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?

Hi,

It is possible that you need to configure your keyboard layout that is why you still see it in the list even you already remove it. To address your issue, we suggest that you follow the steps on this

thread provided by DikkeryDok last October 27, 2017 to remove the specific keyboard layout you are referring to.
