US International keyboard witout deadkeys overlay

This AHK script is intended to be used with US keyboard layout, and maps some of the AltGr hotkeys to the same symbols as US International keyboard.

By doing it this way we get a US international without deadkeys layout, but without the negative side effect Ctrl + Alt + ... shortcuts not working in all programs (since Windows does not treat AltGr as a different key). This script however does treat right alt as a different key than left alt or Ctrl + Alt.

Keyboard shortcuts

For full list (or to add your own) simply edit the .ahk file in a text editor.

Note that the RAlt shortcuts will automatically be deactivated on e.g. Norwegian layout, since it is no longer an RAlt button but rather an AltGr (aka. Left Control + Right Alt).
