Windows 10: Keyboard Layout not working for some characters

I recently purchased the Nuphy Air65 keyboard, and I've encountered a perplexing issue when switching my keyboard layout on Windows to US International. I find myself unable to type special characters such as "ç," the "~," the "^," and others. Strangely, I can manage to type certain characters, like "ã," in Notepad, but it requires an overly complex key combination: Ctrl + Left Shift + Right Shift + Fn + Esc.I'm curious about two things: Firstly, why does this complex key combination work in Notepad but not in other applications? Secondly, why is it so convoluted to input these characters? Is

Keyboard Layout

"Letters and numbers are all correct, but most of the other signs are misplaced"

This suggests to me that you are using the wrong "keyboard language" for your keyboard, and that therefore you first step would be to determine exactly what language keyboard you have. Possibly have a look at Windows Keyboard Layouts - Globalization | Microsoft Docs.

(The age of any laptop capable of running Windows 10 at all should not be a problem as regards keyboard layout)

 

Special characters with Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator

While I have successfully created layouts with the MKLC utility, my last attempt involved enhancing the keyboard with special characters through the Alt Gr + key combination. I wanted to add characters such as:

Alt Gr + S: ß

Alt Gr + <: «

Alt Gr + >: »

Alt Gr + :: …
Alt Gr + N: –

Alt Gr + M: —





That works within MKLC when I use its Project | Test Keyboard Layout option, but when I compile the layout, deploy it and select that enhanced keyboard through the Language Bar, those special characters don´t get typed when I key them in any other application.

Pay careful attention that this is NOT an installation issue, I said "compiled, installed and selected language configuration".

And now that we are at that...

• Any plans to update MKLC to require a more recent .NET framework rather than the outdated v3.5?
  
• If MKLC is written in C#, is its source code available anywhere to refit it with a more recent .NET framework?
  

 

Keyboard layouts

In Win7 i composed an own keyboard layout, stored it and then could use it in Win7 without problems. But I do not remember how I did t. I still have that layout file as KGDBGR1.dll. that differs from KGBDR.dll through having some more European characters, a paneuropean keyboard. How can I now make Win10 use it? I suppose that I have to add it to the list of available designs, but how? JES
