I've been 'ploughing' through the internet for hours until I found this incredibly convenient layout! Thank you very much for sharing.

Spread the word...:)

I had a gentleman email me with a problem installing this on to a Windows Server 2008 64bit . The installer version of this keyboard layout doesn't jive with with windows 64bit. If you are trying to install it on a 64 bit system, download the Microsoft keyboard layout creator version 1.4, and download the "source" file for this layout (linked in the article). Create a new installer, run the installer and you should be good to go.

Again, this only applies to 64bit versions of windows, and if you don't know what that means, you most likely don't have a 64 bit version :) (as of 2008 that is)

Hi Way:

I just tried downloading both the program and the source code, and both worked ok. If you still have trouble, email me and I will send the file to you: rob-rohan-@-gmail-.-com (remove all the dashes)

Please check if the download link is still valid. The zip file I downloaded is less than 4 kb, and cannot be opened.

小罗你好: 其实没有必要每次输入拼音的时候都是”拼音字母”,例如:拼音(pīnyīn) 可以直接英文字母就可以了 Pinyin, ü 在中文输入法内使用 V 代替,正好是26个字母…

Just FYI, I updated the layout to support Capital letters and I added ctrl+alt+v to mimic ctrl+alt+u to create ü. You can download the new layout from this post:
