I don't know how many of y'all have already designed one or bought a
Tavultesoft licence or something, but finally with Windows 7 the framework
for designing your own Windows keymap is free of charge. Not wanting to be
at the mercy of Toolbox in wine anymore, or of praat's notorious
sound-compatibility issues in Linux, I took the initative and am
distributing it free of charge. Send far and wide. It has a special ogonek
series for you Americanists, and if you're an Indo-Europeanist or Semiticist
or someone else with special non-IPA needs, feel free to dig into the source
code and make your own version!

Please note, this keymap has software compatibility issues with certain
software, notably Word, particularly with the AltGr key which Word persists
in either not recognising as AltGr, or refuses to combine with dead keys.
(For some reason it works fine in all the rest of Office, and of course in
Toolbox, praat, NotePad, anything else you might use.) Anyway, for typing in
IPA Word is a bear anyway, autocorrecting and autoformatting as it does. I
suggest if you want to polish your document in Word later, fine, but type
your IPA elsewhere.
