# How to create keyboards layouts of 103 or 104 keys?   2012-11-10 07:34:12.603

Hi, guys!

I would like to know how to create keyboards layouts of 103 or 104 keys with Keyman Developer? My layout is simple, I just want to assign new keys to my keyboard, but it has 103 keys and not 102 possible keys from the layout screen...

Thanks in advance,

Leonardo.

Hi Leonardo,

It is certainly possible. However, as you discovered, the visual editor does not display the 2 additional keys. There are two steps to adding the rules for the extra keys to your keyboard.

1. Use Tools | Virtual Key Identifier to discover the key codes for those extra keys.

2. In the Source tab for your keyboard, add rules using those key codes, e.g. for the 102nd key on a European keyboard it would be like this:

+ [K_oE2] > '\'

I am sorry for the delay in responding to this post.
