“DSL KeyPad” is a tool written on [AutoHotkey 2.0](https://www.autohotkey.com/), designed for inputting a wide range of characters using hotkeys, [Compose](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compose_key)-like mode and auxiliary functions.
This tool extends the range of characters available for input directly from the keyboard and primarily focuses on Latin and Cyrillic scripts, but is not limited to them. You only need to have Russian and English keyboard layouts installed in your system to be able to write in multiple languages, for example:
- **Latin**: Ænglisċ sprǣċe, Français, Tiếng Việt, Hànyǔ Pīnyīn, Norrœnt mál, Føroyskt mál, Limba Română, Español, Język polski, Čeština, Bokmål, Tamaziɣt, Türkçe, Sää’mǩiõll, Lietùvių kalbà…
- **Cyrillic**: Қазақ тілі, Хуэйзў йүян, Забони тоҷикӣ, Йағнобӣ зивок, Аԥсуа бызшәа, Авар мацӏ, Українська мова, Словѣньскъ ѩꙁꙑкъ, Црногорски језик, Ли́мба Рꙋмѫнѣскъ, Итәнмәӈин крвэԓхатас, Даһур Усүүэ, Эвэды̄ турэ̄н, Азәрбајҹанҹа, Башҡорт теле, Тэлэңгэт, Чӑваш чӗлхи…
The tool implements support for inputting various writing systems, for example: Runes, Glagolitic, Old Turkic, Old Permic, Phoenician, Ancient North Arabian etc. An International Phonetic Alphabet input mode is also available.
Downloading available on [Releases](https://github.com/DemerNkardaz/DSL-KeyPad/releases) & [SourceForge](https://sourceforge.net/projects/dsl-keypad/files/).
**⚠️ AutoHotkey is required to use this tool.** Install it via Powershell or [download from its site](https://www.autohotkey.com/).
```powershell
winget install AutoHotkey.AutoHotkey
```

### Shortlist of Features
- **Multilayer bindings**: Including different for English (“Latin set”) and Russian (“Cyrillic set”).
E.g., \[en.\] RAlt + A or Z → `Ă`/`Ż`, then \[ru.\] RAlt + Ф or Я → `Ѳ`/`Ѧ`. Supports user-defined key bindings.
- **Compositing mode, or “Forge”**: Converts a sequence (“recipes”) of one set of characters into another.
E.g., `AE` `OE` `TH` `ІѦ` `ЯЕ` `ⰦⰤ` `Ups` → `Æ` `Œ` `Þ` `Ѩ` `Ԙ` `Ⱙ` `Ʊ`. Supports user-defined recipes.
- **Alternative input**: A set of modes for various non-Latin/Cyrillic scripts (primarily historic), IPA, and mathematical symbols.
E.g., \[Runic `ᛢᚹᛖᚱᛏᚤᚢᛁᛟᛈᚨᛊᛞᚠᚷᚺᛃᚲᛚᛉᚳᚡᛒᚾᛗ᛬`\] \[Glagolitic `ⰉⰜⰖⰍⰅⰐⰃⰞⰛⰈⰘⰟⰗⰂⰀⰒⰓⰡⰝⰔⰏⰋⰠⰁⰣⰦ`\].

Actions: Activate “Tags” mode via selector GUI, “Compose” → type “bfl” \[🏴\], type “gbwls” (text will be invisible), “Compose” → type “tcancel”.
- **TELEX/VNI-like modes**: simplifies typing of [Tiếng Việt](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vietnamese_language) (Vietnamese), [Tơlơi Jơrai](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jarai_language) (Jarai) and [Hànyǔ Pīnyīn](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinyin) with input similar to Vietnamese Telex and VNI layouts.
- **Switch between entering Unicode symbols/HTML Code/ $\LaTeX$ Commands**, if available.
E.g., `Ă` `Ǣ` → `Ă` `Ǣ` ${\color{darkorange}\texttt{and}}$ `\u{A}` `\={\AE}` ${\color{darkorange}\texttt{or}}$ `\breve{A}` `\bar{\AE}` $\breve{A}$ $\text{Ǣ}$.
- **Search symbols in local library by tags**: Allows searching for symbols in the local library by tags for easy input.
E.g., `latin small ligature turned oe with short stroke` or shortened `oe tur str` → `ꭂ`.

**Strong** recommendation: use the extended character set only for text writing, no more.
Using these characters for passwords, file names, etc., is dangerous.
**Strong 2** recommendation: turn off all AutoHotkey processes while playing games with sensitive anti-cheat systems. Games do not tolerate people who use AHK for gaining an advantage, and it is possible to be kicked or banned for having an AHK process running, even if the script does not provide an advantage.
