The keyboard doesn't work outside Keyman software

Keyman

I’ve made a pretty simple keyboard with just a few letters that I need, but it doesn’t work in the browser, file manager or the windows search bar. It works just fine in apps like Discord, Telegram, Steam and other. I had this problem a few times before but it just went away after I did something, and I don’t remember what exactly(

Hello @31032010bb46,

Have you found the underlying issue?
Could you make sure Keyman is turn on while using the keyboard? Also let us know what is the current version of Keyman for Windows and Keyman Developer you are using, please make sure it is the latest one.

If none of the trials work, would you be able to share with us the entire keyboard package as a ZIP file or through Google Drive?

Thank you!

Thanks, updating Keyman seems to have fixed the problem. But I have another question, whenever I make a keyboard a make for example the q key tipe in œ, it doesn’t work, but if I make it alt+q=œ, it works just fine

Hello @31032010bb46,

We are glad that Keyman starts working again!

I would suggest checking if other rules are overlapping or checking whether the letter q is already mapped to something else. Try addressing the warning or error messages that show up here.

Might be worth checking the Keyman Language Structure.

Thanks!
