What is AccentCompose?

AccentCompose is a unified US keyboard hardware-based European multi-layout, keyboard driver and custom Compose key system. All national layouts are compatible with each other and can be switched on the fly.

Requirements: US-layout (ANSI) keyboard and a current Windows operating system with the free open-source WinCompose program installed. Optional (not included): keyboard stickers for the national additions.

There is now also a Linux version at: https://github.com/lexitec/AccentCompose

Included in AccentCompose:

  1. a set of keyboard layouts for different European languages with national additions
  2. a custom .XCompose file for entering accented letters (requires free WinCompose)
  3. Windows installers for keyboard drivers (DLLs) for all the supported languages
  4. keyboard layouts and the Cheat Sheet (PDFs) to be easily printed and laminated

List of supported national languages and custom AccentCompose layouts: Czech, Danish, Dutch, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Hungarian, Irish, Italian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Maltese, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Serbo-croatian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish, and US English with full accent support (much easier than the US International keyboard). Cyrillic, Greek and IPA are also supported.
