Combined "typographic" layouts for multiple languages

image
For a long time, I had 3 layouts in my system - English, Russian and Ukrainian. Since, mainly, I use English and Russian, the extra switching of the layout became annoying to me, and the Ukrainian layout was torn down. For rare occasions when it was needed, I installed it again. But the problem was solved only partially. When the Ukrainian was needed - it was not at hand.

Most recently, I thought, why not supplement the typographical layout of Birman with the missing letters from the Ukrainian alphabet (of which only 4). Armed with the Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator , I created this layout. Now, for typing Ukrainian letters, I just have to hold down the right alt and type them as usual (ї = Alt + , Ї = Alt + Shift + , ...)

Having rejoiced a little bit, I also created a reverse layout on the basis of Ukrainian - for those who use mainly Ukrainian language (s = Alt + і, ...). In addition, I added the Birman layouts to all the typographic tsatskis of the resulting Ukrainian layout, so that all combinations of icons remained in the old places.

After that, I also remembered about the Belarusian brothers, who probably had the same problems as me. For them, I have prepared two more layouts - Russian with Belarusian letters and the reverse one - Belarusian “typographical” with missing Russian letters . And finally, I combined both Ukrainian and Belarusian letters in one Russian layout in order to help those who write in all three languages.

When I was planning to write this topic, I thought that it should be decorated with ordinary layouts. But since I am a programmer, and not used to simple solutions, I could not help but show off and make an interactive scheme of these layouts , where, besides, you can find all the links, as well as information on how to install the layouts in the system.

UPD. Made another option for the Kazakh layout.
