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}}.
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.
 
On Linux, this might not even involve installing anything! Look for "compose key" plus your distro name.
 
On Windows, [https://wincompose.info/ WinCompose] is pretty good.
 
Here's how to type Toaq-specific characters in the default ruleset.
 
{| class="wikitable"
! Character || Combo
|-
| {{Done|2}} || {{Key|'}} + vowel
|-
| {{Done|3}} || {{Key|"}} + vowel
|-
| {{Done|4}} || {{Key|^}} + vowel
|-
| dotless i ({{t|ı}}) || {{Key|.}} + {{Key|i}}
|-
| left quote ({{t|«}}) || {{Key|<}} + {{Key|<}}
|-
| right quote ({{t|»}}) || {{Key|>}} + {{Key|>}}
|}
 
Then there are these supplemental definitions. WinCompose provides them by default; on Linux you’re going to have to add them yourself one-by-one or by sourcing [https://github.com/kragen/xcompose]. That said you might not find them very convenient to type.
 
{| class="wikitable"
! Character || Combo
|-
| {{VY}} || {{Key|V}} + {{Key|&}} + {{Key|Y}}
|-
| {{vy}} || {{Key|v}} + {{Key|&}} + {{Key|y}}
|-
| combining underdot (like in {{t|ı̣}}) || {{Key|\}} + {{Key|!}}
|}

Copy the contents below into a file called <code>toaq.vim</code> inside a folder named <code>keymap</code> in your <code>.vim</code> directory (create it if it doesn’t exist). Then, in insert mode, you may use any of the two-keystroke “combinations” and have them replaced with accented letters on the fly. (See <code>:help mbyte-keymap</code> for more detailed information.)
See [[Vim input]].

Alternatively, for sporadic usage, you can enter Toaq characters using Ctrl+K followed by two keystrokes (see <code>:help digraph</code>). {{VY}} is not available to input using this method.

[[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!

=== MultiLing O ===
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 old {{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. However, this won’t get you typing full-featured [[Toaq Delta]] right away – luckily for us, Multiling supports custom layouts. To install these:
See [[MultiLing O]].
 
# Choose a layout you like, hold-tap and then drag to make a selection starting from <code>OK_Layout_Begin</code> and ending on <code>OK_Layout_End</code>, then click Copy.
# With the Multiling keyboard open: hold the spacebar, then drag your finger over to a button named Layouts in the top right that should just have appeared. (Optionally: first slide to Languages > Other > X language 1. This disables word prediction and lets you switch between English and Toaq by swiping the spacebar leftward.)
# Select [+DIY] from the pop-up list, then Paste, then OK.


The following layouts are available:

==== [[kuhı]]'s mobile-optimized layout ====
 
A fourth-or-so iteration of a layout originally made by [[uakci]]. Cool symbols in the shift layer; fewer keys means less fat finger fumbling. Some keys are moved out of the way or (in the case of v, w, y) folded into the {{vy}} key; the underdot key stands alone on the right edge of the middle row.
