EPiKaL PKL for Windows
Formerly PKL[edition DreymaR] by DreymaR, 2017-, based on PortableKeyboardLayout
EPKL was based on a decompiled PKL v0.4preview from 2010 (formerly v0.3r85) by Máté Farkas.
I started development in 2014, and since then EPKL has come a long way.
A comprehensive EPKL version history is found in the actual EPKL Source folder.
This is the source code README, briefly explaining how to compile PKL/EPKL with AHK2EXE.
To this purpose, there's a Compile_EPKL.bat file that makes and runs EPKL.exe.
- To compile the (E)PKL source code, use the Ahk2Exe compiler from the AHK download page.
- AHK compiler v1.1 Unicode is needed for EPKL; v1.0 and v1.1 in ANSI mode work for the original PKL.
- There's a folder in Source that contains the v1.1 AHK compiler. You may need that version.
- Choose the Source\EPKL.ahk file.
- Choose to compile into your main EPKL folder.
- You may choose any name for the .exe and run it afterwards.
- Choose Source\EPKL_Resources\Main.ico as the custom icon file.
- Just compile right into your main EPKL folder, or move the resulting .exe file there.
- Adjust any extra settings in the Layout.ini file in your layout folder. See the Colemak-eD_ISO Layout.ini and baseLayout.ini files as examples.
- For generic EPKL settings, look in the Files folder, and the EPKL_Settings .ini file(s). Or, you can use the EPKL Layout/Settings menu to change stuff.
- Changes should ideally go in
_Override.inifiles instead of the Default files.
Best of luck! Øystein "DreymaR" Bech-Aase, 2018-
