KbdEdit - The Best Keyboard Layout Editor

Keyboard customization under Windows has never been easy. Keyboard customization under Windows has never been easy. Fortunately, KbdEdit is here to turn it around: now its never been easier! Twist your keyboard into a pretzel sooner than you can say "heterosyllabic".

KbdEdit software was designed to be a keyboard layout editor.

Here are some key features of "KbdEdit":

Instant preview
· Any change you make can be instantly tested in the Preview screen.
· Dont waste time designing elaborate layouts only to discover theyre ergonomic disasters once you try to use them. Test any change as soon as you make it.

Comfortable Unicode navigation
· Unicode palette at the bottom of the KbdEdit screen will soon become your best friend. It adjusts automatically to the current layout, displaying only character ranges that make sense for your language.
· Even better, you can drag&drop characters even from/to other applications - KbdEdit is a better CharMap than the Windows built-in CharMap itself
· Unicode with its 65 536 code points will never intimidate you again.

Ligatures, Dead keys and much more
· Use advanced layout features like Ligatures, customized dead keys, togglable KANA modifier etc

Dont lose your investment in MSKLC
· KbdEdit seamlessly imports KLC files produced by Microsfot Keyboard Layout Creator. Not only does this make for a painless migration, it also enables the deployment of KLC files under 64-bit Windows, which cannot be achieved using MSKLC alone.

Easy deployment
· With KbdEdit, your customized layout can become a part of your favorite layout list in no time, and from that point on it is accessible from any Windows application.

No harm is made to your system
· The changes you make are localized strictly to the custom layouts created with KbdEdit. Windows standard layouts, as well as layouts created with other tools, are protected from any accidental damage.

Share your layouts
· KbdEdit may perform all kind of antics behind the scenes to offer you all this functionality, but the final product is still a good old Windows Keyboard Layout Dll file.
· To deploy a custom layout elsewhere, you will only need to "Export" it and use the "Import" feature on the target computer. It is not even necessary that the source and target computers have the same architecture: layouts created on 32-bit platforms can be imported into a 64-bit version without any loss of features.
