Windows defaults to a US keyboard layout, but you can select one that supports German characters a. So here is the script that works on my machine. This is something useful for anybody taking German class.
However, I don't know why, but Autohotkey does not like it when I put the entire shortcut on one line. (On this keyboard, hitting the apostrophe key gets you accents, such as á, so you need to use the space bar to get the apostrophe to print also.) ß is alt-s. To actually get the quote to print, hit space after. And, Autohotkey recognizes that Ctrl + Alt are pressed when the physical right Alt key is pressed! So, this will be recognized: ^! Ctrl + Alt Keep the shift key down to get the capital. What I've discovered is that Ctrl + Alt is another way to send an AltGr keypress. Neither of these is recognized: >! right Alt So, the problem is: Autohotkey does not recognize the right Alt key as being pressed if we use a script that says the right Alt key is pressed nor when we say AltGr is pressed.

However, Autohotkey does not seem to recognize the right Alt key as sending an AltGr keypress, even though Windows 10 does, and the right Alt key no longer sends right Alt keypresses when using this layout either. So, here is where an Autohotkey script comes in. This is as intended, as there is no other way to get a when using this Spanish layout.īut, there is no way to use the right Alt key to get symbols.

In that way, I can press the physical right Alt key plus the "q" key and get as a result. What I have found from a little bit of research and experimentation is that this layout replaces what is sent by the physical right Alt key-instead of sending right Alt it sends an "AltGr" keypress. The problem is, there are no symbols included in that layout. I am on Windows 10 and have installed a Spanish keyboard layout as a secondary layout so that I can easily write accent marks and tildes for Spanish writing. So my keyboard is like the one the OP is asking about. Instead we have two Alt keys one on each side of the space bar. I live in the United States and we do not have keyboards here with an AltGr key. Like the OP, my keyboard has symbols on the comma and period keys next to the "m" key on the bottom row, near the right Shift. Rather than muddy his answer any further, I want to clarify my own usage case and what my solution is for that usage case.

(The codes I've mentioned are "set 1" scan codes, as used in the scan code field in MS Windows WM_KEYDOWN etc messages.I like Autohotkey answer but it doesn't work without modification on my own keyboard. You most likely cant easily buy a laptop/desktop keyboard with this layout. This layout is available through Windows keyboard settings.
Used by peoples speaking Inuktitut, Cree, Ojibwe, and Blackfoot languages in parts of Canada.
In general keyboards by the same manufacturer have the same internal circuits (with some provision for the scancode 2B key being in multiple places, if they make both US and European keyboards), with only the keycaps being different. Inuktitut (Canadian Aboriginal Syllabary) keyboard layout. There are some physical differences, such as the extra "102nd" key (scancode 56, to the left of Y on the German keyboard shown above) not being present on US keyboards, the Enter key being shaped differently, and scancode 2B (US Backslash, German #) being in a different position, but in general if you select the keyboard layout you are used to touch-typing in you won't get any surprising results.

Yes - the key that is a "Y" in English keyboards and a "Z" in German ones is in both cases the one that sends the scan code 15, likewise for the Z/Y key being scan code 2E the differences are, like most other keyboard layout differences made in software rather than by the hardware being different.
