The Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator can create 3 и 4 layers AltGr and AltGr+Shift for every letter-keys (and num-keys above), but CapsLock layer works only for letter-keys.

Using The microsoft keyboard layout creator, only for letter-keys, I can create:
c = c
Shift + c = C
AltGr + c = ©
AltGr +Shift+ c = ¢
CapsLock, c = €
CapsLock, Shift + c = ‽

So:

1) Why isn't there CapsLock layer for num-key, and always numkey = CapsLock, numkey?

(while through The Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator I can make letter ≠ CapsLock, letter)

2) Is there a way to disable NumPad Alt-codes for some keyboard layout?

P.S. I want to make:
CapsLock, 7 = ₇
CapsLock, Shift + 7 = ⁷

and etc. (AltGr + num-keys already get their value)

  • What are you trying to do here? Have you used AutoHotKey or AutoIt? – Martheen Feb 27 '17 at 05:06
  • I use “the microsoft keyboard layout creator”. I am asking about keyboard layouts. – yalov Feb 27 '17 at 05:10
  • MS KB Layout is only meant to map keys with [scancode](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scancode), scancode only represent existing keys on keyboard. Since superscript 7 & subscript 7 doesn't exist in standard keyboard layout, you can't do that. You'll want AutoHotKey/AutoIt instead, where you send keypresses/characters instead of just calling a particular scancode – Martheen Feb 27 '17 at 05:18
  • question is updated. I can do `CapsLock`, `q` = ₇ or `AltGr` + `7` = ₇, but not `CapsLock`, `7` – yalov Feb 27 '17 at 05:29

Ok, I found the solution.

it's not some standard num-keys bug from a typewriter's time, when letter-keys and num-keys were distinguished.

Problem matters only for “The microsoft keyboard layout creator”. App has not been being updated since 2007, and still has had described bug: it's not correct at creating CapsLock layers (mostly with num-keys CapsLock Layers).

There is KdbEdit, it's works awesome, and I get my X₌₁₂₃₄₅₆₇₈₉₀₊₋ X⁼¹²³⁴⁵⁶⁷⁸⁹⁰⁺⁻ for CapsLock and CapsLock,Shift layers.
