=== Keyman ===
For Windows, Linux, and MacOS.  Install [https://keyman.com/downloads/ Keyman] (scroll to the bottom of the page) and open it.  Download [[Media:ToaqLatin.kmp|ToaqLatin.kmp]].  In Keyman, click "Install keyboard..." (not "Download") and navigate to where you downloaded ToaqLatin.kmp then click "Install" on the popup window.  If you are on Windows, you will be asked to authenticate ... twice (don't ask).  From there, you can use the keyboard like you would any built-in layout.  On Windows, you can quickly switch between layouts with {{Key|Windows}}+{{Key|Space}}.

==== Tips ====
If you need to type a character whose key has been repurposed (such as the semicolon), use hold AltGr (Right alt) and press that key (e.g. {{Key|AltGr}} + {{Key|;}} for a semicolon, {{Key|AltGr}} + {{Key|W}} for "W", etc).  This layout is also compatible with Toaq Beta and Gamma, although some diacritics may be rather inconvenient to type.
On Windows (not sure about other platforms), if you would like to associate the keyboard with a different language, which may be useful if it automatically associated itself with Dutch for example, but you want it to show up under English, open the Keyman Configuration and under "Toaqzu (Hóegua)", select "Add/Remove language..." and choose the language you want.  Don't forget to remove the original language as well.
As of version 1.1, for the purposes of typing Robin's [https://robin.town/blog/koamtoaq Koamtoaq], it is also possible to type underdots on letters with macrons and hooks above.
=== Compose key ===
=== Compose key ===
You can set up a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compose_key compose key] on your computer, which will change the behavior of one of the keys on your keyboard to "compose" the next two keypresses into one character — for example {{Key|CapsLock}} {{Key|'}} {{Key|a}} becomes {{t|á}}. See [[Compose key]] for more information.

=== Your built-in keyboard? ===
=== Keyman===
Keyman works on mobile too.  Install Keyman from the [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tavultesoft.kmapro&hl=en_US Google Play Store] (Android) or the [https://apps.apple.com/us/app/keyman/id933676545 App Store] (iOS).  Enable the Keyman keyboard in your system settings.  Then download [[Media:ToaqLatin.kmp|ToaqLatin.kmp]].  In the Keyman app, click on the 3 dots and click Settings > Install Keyboard or Dictionary > Install from local file and select ToaqLatin.kmp > Install.  For predictive text, download and install [[Media:ToaqLatinDict.kmp|ToaqLatinDict.kmp]] in the same way as the keyboard file. The data for the predictive text comes from the corpus frequency list and Toakao.

You can also access the grave diacritic for [[Prefix Reform]] by long-pressing on the underdot key.
 
===Your built-in keyboard?===
In general, on many phone keyboards you can long-press a vowel to get some accents, though you still won't find {{t|Ꝡ}} or the underdot ({{key|-}} will do, though).

[[File:Toaq_(QWERTY).svg]]
This layout is mostly based off of QWERTY, see image to the right for more details.


Note that the image above is a bit outdated. The hiatus key has been moved to the semicolon key rather than the colon key and the cartouches are now both on the quotation mark key.
====Keyman (Cross-platform)====
Follow instructions for Keyman above, but download [[Media:ToaqDerani.kmp|ToaqDerani.kmp]] instead.


Some punctuation whose keys were taken over have been put under AltGr.

===ASCII tone markers===
===Post-diacritics===
If for some strange reason, the spaced version of the diacritics (¨ ´ ^) are easier to type than the normal tones, than you can put them after the word to mark tone.<blockquote><tt>Hio ka. Ji´ na¨ bo hoa´ sia´ kaichuo gi rao^ nidaq´.</tt></blockquote>Although this might be very tricky to read for a lot of people since these symbols look very small.
 
====ASCII tone markers====
You can always write the ASCII-friendly (although reader-hostile) <tt>/"^</tt> [[tone]] markers after words like this:
