Russian keyboard

[Richard Robin]

A much lower-tech solution is this: type out the letters in the order they
appear on the keyboard, in the case of my keyboard, which I modified
slightly from gosstandart using Microsoft's keyboard editor...

Print it and paste it somewhere near the computer.

While we're on the subject of low-tech keyboard solutions, a good way of
doing bilingual keycaps (without resorting to store-bought stick-ons, which
can be really expensive) is to write the letters on mailing labels. Then cut
out the squares and paste them on the vertical surfaces of the keys. (This
doesn't work for laptops, obviously.) For people like me, who never learned
to touch-type in any alphabet, it makes things really easy: English on top,
Russian on the vertical surfaces. My university gives full-time faculty a
new Dell (or Mac) computer once every three years. But I always keep the old
keyboard with my stickies.
