[INDOLOGY] EasyUnicode for a Windows computer?

[Anya Golovkova]

Dear all,

Many thanks for your advice. This gives me some options to tie me over until I can use a Mac again. I will attempt to program shortcuts using the same keyboard layout as the EasyUnicode keyboard uses. If I can make it work, there will be no need to learn another layout. 

Best wishes,
Anya

I took the layout I usually use and added some combining diacritics, but you can use precomposed characters if preferred. Another advantage of this solution is that you might be able to get the IT to deploy your keyboard to the department.

I used Alt + the character for diacritical under the letter and ctrl+ the character for diacritical above the letter.  Alt+ctrl + the character if there is a diacritical above and below the character, and a few others for the nasals.
