If this is a re-post, please ignore, but, if you find it more comfortable to type with the x-system (Gxis to Ĝis) and your on a Mac, you can download this Keyboard Layout I found a while back.

Then you unzip it, put it in HD/Library/Keyboard Layouts. Then you activate it by going to System Preferences/Language & Text, Select the Input Sources tab, and check Esperanto (the one with the green star). Don't forget to have "Show Input menu in menu bar" also checked. It's on the bottom of the window.

Your done! Up by your clock you should see a Flag (your current language). Click it, and you will get a drop down menu with "Esperanto" as a choice. Click it and type away.

You can get the file here.

Congratulations, Sandman! It is always nice to hear that people are thinking how to make it easier to really use Esperanto.

I use Linux and it is really easy: you just add Esperanto`s keyboard and set how you wanna use it (if typing ^+C, ^+G etc). In my case, my session keyboard is the ABNT2 (for brazilian Portuguese), but if I type the right ctrl button, it changes to esperanto; if I type it again it changes to USA keyboard, if I type again it becomes Danish keyboard. So, it is really easy.

Anyway - I haven`t tried your software yet, - but the best typer for windows I`ve ever seen, is Tajpi, created by Tom James (who is always around here in the forum).
Check it out: http://zz9pza.ath.cx/tajpi/Index.html

Saluton!

Does anyone know where this file is now? It's no longer on the site listed

sandman85:I've created an Esperanto keyboard layout
It's based on the default QWERTY US keyboard layout.

To use it:
Download the file.

Unzip it to a directory, somewhere.

Run setup.exe.

Go to Control Panel>Regional and Language Options and select Esperanto with the little keyboard icon next to it. It's under Albanian, I know, but Esperanto wasn't in the language list.

To type Esperanto letters, type Ctrl+Alt+c,h,g,j,u. Use Ctrl+Alt+Shift for capital letters.
Download ZIP here.

Enjoy!

I still like Tajpi better... All you have to do is type cx, hx, gx, jx, sx, ux...

That's how you type a word when you don't have the program Tajpi, so when Tajpi is enabled you just type like you normally would cxu, cxe, gxoja, etc. and it shows up like ĉu, ĉe, ĝoja.
