Installation: Please run the setup program and follow the instructions.
Q: Why do I get rectangles or funny signs when I write Devanagari, Gothic, etc.?
A: MultiKey supplies keyboard layouts to use with Unicode
compliant fonts. Therefore, in order to display the characters MultiKey helps you to type,
you also need a font that includes the script you need (and the case of complex scripts also a
word processor capable of handling them). For very exotic scripts, you may have a look at
ALPHABETUM Unicode.
Q: Instead of a grave accent, there is a small vertical
line on the epsilon
A: This is only due to the screen resolution. Use a larger
zoom factor or font size, or print it: then you will see
the grave accents.
Q: I use Windows 7 or later and cannot access the MultiKey menu
from the icon at the application bar.
A: Activate MultiKey by pressing Alt+Tab. Then press Alt+Space. The menu shows up -
and also offers you to transfer the icon to the "Notification area".
Q: MultiKey sometimes ceases to work.
A: This can happen especially when switching between applications using the keyboard.
Press Shift+Ctrl+Alt+L to re-initialize MultiKey. If you have an AltGr key on your keyboard, press it. If nothing helps,
close and restart MultiKey and, if necessary, your word processor.
Q: How to type a series of uncombined characters which
represent a combination (e.g. "a+" instead of
"á")?
A: Between the characters, press Shift+Ctrl+Alt. Or, to
disable MultiKey temporarily, press Shift+Ctrl+Alt+X.
This program is a free service to anyone concerned with
Ancient Greek etc. –
If you feel the need to pay for
it, please do so to somebody who needs it.
