However, if <code>AltGr</code> is on the "wrong" side of the keyboard, using <code>Ctrl+Alt</code> will have the same effect. That is: <code>AltGr+e</code> <strong>or</strong> <code>Ctrl+Alt+e</code> will give an "ē". :D Hi Natalia, glad the keyboard layout was of help! :D As for using the Alt key as a modifier, that’s a “no go” as some of those are already used by Windows itself, for example: Alt+e will open the “Edit” menu of a window.

I am in Russia and I often have to type in Latvian for which i didn't have any facilities bfore. The standard Latvian layout was a headache to me and also i only have English and Russian stickers on my keyboard... Now I have tested your tool - that's marvelous, time and nerve-saving! Thank u! Btw is it possible to use not only the Gray Alt but the other Alt as well? I am typing 'blindly' with all 10 fingers and that's why the both Alt's wud be useful... Thank u very much, Jonathan!

It will make writing email to relatives in Latvia so much more elegant. You've achieved that which Microsoft could not. Jonathon, Thank you so much for your Latvian Keyboard.
