Shortcut Key Settings

You can change the activation method for the four keyboards described later. By default, as shown in the image above:

  • Modern Language Keyboard: Ctrl + 1
  • Church Slavonic Keyboard: Ctrl + 2

To change these, select the box and press the physical key you wish to use. The allowed key combinations are as follows:

  • Ctrl + (any key), Ctrl + Shift + (any key)
  • Alt + (any key), Shift + Alt + (any key)
  • Ctrl + Alt + (any key), Ctrl + Shift + Alt + (any key)

Modifier Key Settings

Since the number of keys on a keyboard is insufficient to cover all characters used in Slavic languages, UniSlav employs modifier keys as an auxiliary option (default is the muhenkan key).

Example Slavic Cyrillic Slavic Latin Early Cyrillic Glagolitic
(Shift +) T Ее Tt Ее Ⰵⰵ
[Modifier Key] + (Shift +) T Ёё Ťť Ѧѧ Ⱔⱔ

You can choose the modifier key from Muhenkan, Henkan, Alt, AltGr, or the Menu Key.

Run Automatically on PC Startup

By checking the box, UniSlav will automatically start the next time you boot your PC. You will be able to launch each keyboard of UniSlav immediately using the shortcut keys set above, without having to open UniSlav Manager each time.

The red key indicates the modifier key used to input the characters located in the bottom right of each key (default is the muhenkan '無変換' key, which can be customized in the UniSlav Manager), while the blue keys represent keys that do not exist on the US (ANSI) layout.
