If you want to skip right ahead to downloading my keyboard, you can download the installer files directly. You can use nikkud (vowels) if you hit the CAPS LOCK key:Īnd you can use sofit (final letters) if you hit the Shift key: Specifically, I wanted to create a Hebrew keyboard which was laid out phonetically (so the letter Daled, ד, which makes a “d” sound, would be typed via the “d” key).Īlthough there are some prebuilt phonetic keyboards (such as this one from the University of Kansas), I wanted some customization there. Give it a practice run to see if it feels natural.I had some difficulty finding resources for creating custom keyboards on Windows, so I wanted to write up a post on what I’ve found. Open the dropdown under the gesture that you want to use to mute/unmute system volume and select the ‘Mute’ option. Scroll down to either the three or four finger gestures.

Look for and click on the ‘Advanced gesture configuration’ option. The one and two finger gestures are locked down for the most part. You can configure three and four finger taps and swipes. Go to the Devices group of settings and select the Touchpad tab. Most users who opt to use external point and click devices don’t normally use touchpads with Windows laptops or PCs but if you have one, or you’d simply like to use your touchpad to mute/unmute system volume, the option is there. This option requires that you have a precision touchpad. You can of course use any other shortcut in the AutoHotKey script. The Caps key will act as a toggle so you will only have to use one key. Run the script and when you tap the Caps key on your keyboard, it will mute/unmute your system volume. Toggle Mute, and save it with the AHK file extension.

Give it a name that tells you what the script is for e.g. Open a new Notepad file and paste the following in it CapsLock::Send
