This is a little tool by [[User:Lynn]] that runs in your browser, available [http://foldr.moe/kaichuo/ here]. You type something like {{Key|Kiai ji kato/ da}} and it turns it into {{t|Kỉaı jí káto da}}. (Wow! It knows {{t|jí}} is a pronoun and automatically adds {{Tone|2}}.)

This layout lets you pick diacriticized letters just by hold-tapping the vowel keys.

'''Mıao has made a slightly modified version of that keyboard.''' Since {{Tone|1}} is no longer a thing, this layout moves it to the end of the list. It also adds back the old {{Tone|3old}} if needed (except for "y" because it doesn't exist). {{Tone|4}} is the most common tone, so it also moves it to the front.
Some punctuation whose keys were taken over have been put under AltGr.

Laid out on an orthogonal 4×10 key grid in accordance with the Colemak keyboard layout, this variant comes with sweet extras like a top bar with diacritic-adding buttons (except for {{tone|4}} because tone mark discrimination is a thing in this sad world) and special keys for typographical fancinesses like <code>«»</code>. You will want to head into the settings, then ''Layouts'', then check ''Shift key at bottom'' to use this layout as intended.
