[[User:Hoaqgio]] uses a custom Python script that can be found at https://github.com/toaq/kanakey. The way it works is that the script always runs in the background (you start it on login) and when you want to type Toaq, you type alt+; followed by the Toaq you want in the format of "Mai4 ji2 suq2 da.", and finally you just type ; alone. Then the script erases what you typed and replaces it with pretty Toaq. Unfortunately it has two pretty inconvenient issues, one of which is that it currently can't show an icon in the system tray to indicate whether the script is in "listening mode" or not (which means you can accidentally put it in listening mode and leave it there for a while) and the other of which is that if you have non-text data on your system clipboard at the time you try to use the script, it will simply crash. [[User:Hoaqgio]] recommends not using this unless you really have no better alternative!

=== Xmodmap ===
If you’re running X11 on a Linux machine, create a file (I suggest calling it <code>.Xmodmap</code> in your home directory) with the following contents, then run <code>xmodmap <i>filename</i></code> to activate:
keycode 11  =  2  at          2  at          dead_acute
keycode 12  =  3  numbersign  3  numbersign  dead_diaeresis
keycode 13  =  4  dollar      4  dollar      dead_hook
keycode 14  =  5  percent      5  percent      dead_circumflex
keycode 15  =  6  asciicircum  6  asciicircum  dead_grave
keycode 16  =  7  ampersand    7  ampersand    dead_tilde
keycode 31  =  i  I            i  I            idotless
: <b>Note:</b> You will require your keyboard layout to have a modifier key active (if at all, usually {{key|RAlt}} a.k.a. {{key|AltGr}}); to achieve this, you may run <code>setxkbmap us intl</code> to switch to the international US layout with dead keys. Also note that a layout change wipes any <code>xmodmap</code>s previously issued, so you will have to rerun the <code>xmodmap</code> command. Feel free to add those two commands (in the right order!) to your <code>.xprofile</code>, or whatever other file your system picks up when starting up X11. Contact [[user:uakci|uakci]] if you run into issues.
<b>To use:</b> hold {{key|RAlt}} and then press a digit, {{key|2}} thru {{key|7}}. After releasing, press the key for your favourite vowel. This should produce a vowel with the desired '''precomposed''' tone diacritic (this is a big deal to some people). For dotless {{t|ı}}, use {{key|RAlt}}{{key|I}}.
==== Variations ====
Bind the dead diacritic keys to {{key|s}}, {{key|d}}, {{key|f}}, {{key|j}}, {{key|k}}, {{key|l}} (for that sweet sweet ergonomic swag):
keycode 39  =  s  S  s  S  dead_acute
keycode 40  =  d  D  d  D  dead_diaeresis
keycode 41  =  f  F  f  F  dead_hook
keycode 44  =  j  J  j  J  dead_circumflex
keycode 45  =  k  K  k  K  dead_grave
keycode 46  =  l  L  l  L  dead_tilde
Make dotless {{t|ı}} the default when pressing {{key|I}}, requiring {{key|RAlt}}{{key|I}} to obtain regular dotted i (and also when composing diacritics with the mechanism described above):
keycode 31  =  i  I  i  I  idotless

There's an Android custom keyboard app called "[https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kl.ime.oh&hl=en&gl=US MultiLing O]" where, allegedly "you slide your finger from the ,/AltGr key and you get a tone picker there". It is also decently customizable.
There's a decently customizable Android custom keyboard app called [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kl.ime.oh&hl=en&gl=US MultiLing O] which comes with a selection of diacritics out of the box (bar {{tone|4}}). To use them, first type the desired letter, then hold-tap the key that says <code>,/AltGr</code>. An alternate screen should appear; without lifting your finger, slide it to the desired choice of diacritic.


Here is a modified QWERTY layout for MultiLing O by SlushieDee on [[Discord]]. To use it, select [+DIY] in the list of layouts and paste the following:

This layout lets you pick diacriticized letters just by hold-tapping the vowel keys.
 
==== [[user:uakci|uakci]]’s variant ====
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.
