Goals of Turkish Q Alt keyboard layout
- Full compatibility with US English keyboard layout.
- Can be used when keyboard does not mark where the Turkish characters are.
- Do not change places for standard ascii letters and punctuation.
- No dead keys. The ^ key in classic Turkish Q keyboard layout is an example of a dead key.
- Support â, î, and û as first class citizens.
- Support new TL sign.
- It is an alternative to Turkish Q keyboard layout.
- It is not replacing Turkish F. The official Turkish keyboard layout is Turkish F. If you need to type fast, use Turkish F which set multiple world typing records.

How to use Turkish Q Alt keyboard layout
Turkish Q Alt is same as the US English keyboard layout with following additions.
- ç (AltGr+c), Ç (Shift+AltGr+c)
- ğ (AltGr+g), Ğ (Shift+AltGr+g)
- ı (AltGr+i), İ (Shift+AltGr+i)
- ö (AltGr+o), Ö (Shift+AltGr+o)
- ş (AltGr+s), Ş (Shift+AltGr+s)
- ü (AltGr+u), Ü (Shift+AltGr+u)
- â (AltGr+a), Â (Shift+AltGr+a)
- î (AltGr+k), Î (Shift+AltGr+k). K is one row below i.
- û (AltGr+j), Û (Shift+AltGr+j). J is one row below u.
- TL Sign (Shift+AltGr+$).
- € (AltGr+e). This is optional. Included considering trade ties to EU and the pending Turkish membership to EU.
Turkish Q Alt keeps the standard US English layout for all letters and punctuation. Turkish characters are produced by pressing down AltGr and the corresponding ascii keys on the keyboard. AltGr is located on the right side of the space bar. It is marked with the text Alt or AltGr. You can also click Ctrl+Alt key instead of AltGr to produce the same affect. For example to type ş, press down AltGr and s together. For î and û use the keys k and j. These are one row below i and u.
TL Sign is assigned Ux20BA in Unicode 6.2. Unicode 6.2 is scheduled to be released in third quarter of 2012. TL Sign will not display correctly until your operating system is updated with a Unicode 6.2 compatible font. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkish_lira_sign for more info.

I have this layout on Linux (Ubuntu 14), but I couldn't find it on Windows.
ReplyDeleteThanks to you and the dll developer, you made my life much easier :)
Great. Mac OS had that keyboard from the start. I don't know when Linux started but it has already. And this fills in the Windows gap.
ReplyDeleteAwesome. Works in Windows 10 but you need to select only this layout for using it correctly. Also keyboard preview and touch keyboard has also an issue. Needs to be fixed.
ReplyDeleteDoensn't work on Windows 10!
ReplyDeleteIt works, thank you!!
ReplyDeleteThanks mate !!

Thanks a lot for this little fix. I recently started learning Turkish and I was wondering about the available keyboard settings. A layout where I need to memorise key positions won't work for me, especially since I'm perhaps the opposite of Turkish speed typists ;), at school... we just learned to use computers and where never ever taught typing specifically, so I type with 2-4 fingers, often WITH looking at the keyboard. And being a low-level polyglot, I type in several languages at least once in a while, so I need multiple keyboard settings which would actually work on a typical QWERTY keyboard.
ReplyDeleteMy first language is Polish, and Turkish QAlt keyboard seems to me just what I wanted - a Turkish equivalent of "Polish programmer's keyboard" (as opposed to very rarely used "Polish typist's keyboard"). Although I would have changed one thing - Shift+I without Alt ---> İ, Shift+Alt+I ---> I. It would be more logical.
