The name and version number for the SIL keyboards have changed in order to comply with SIL’s PUA deprecation policy. To find out more, you can also read SIL PUA version — what is that?.

Windows Keyboards

On Windows, three keyboarding options are available: an IPA Keyman keyboard and keyboards which work through the Windows keyboarding system (MSKLC) for US, UK, FR, DE and PT (Portuguese) keyboard layouts.

IPA Keyman Keyboard

This keyboard requires Keyman: https://keyman.com/

The “SIL IPA” keyboard, developed by Martin Hosken, is a mnemonic compiled Keyman keyboard. It is intended to provide a text input method for Unicode-based applications, in order to access IPA characters. Although greatly expanded, the keyboard layout is similar to that provided for the old pre-Unicode SIL IPA93 fonts.

The keyboard layout is included in the documentation which is a part of this package.

Keyman Download

The Keyman IPA (SIL) keyboard is now available on the Keyman site: https://keyman.com/keyboards/sil_ipa

Old versions

IPA MSKLC Keyboard

Note:

This keyboard will no longer be maintained. Since Keyman is freely available and now works on all platforms, we encourage people to use the IPA (SIL) Keyman keyboard available here: https://keyman.com/keyboards/sil_ipa

Ipa Keyboard For Windows 10

This keyboard uses The Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator (MSKLC): https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/823010/the-microsoft-keyboard-layout-creator

It was designed to be similar to SIL's IPA Unicode Keyman Keyboard, in that the keystrokes follow a similar layout. In many cases keystrokes are merely reversed. That is, instead of typing n> to get a U+014B, you would type >n. This system is not always possible to maintain using MSKLC since the Keyman keyboard often used more than two keystrokes and this is not allowed using MSKLC. Please read IPA Unicode 6.2 (ver 1.4) MSK.pdf (in the download package) for installation instructions and the keyboard layout. Make sure that you reboot after installing the keyboard.

There are five keyboards, one is based on the US English keyboard layout, another is based on the UK English keyboard layout, another is based on the Brazil Portuguese keyboard, a fourth on the FR French keyboard layout and a fifth on the DE German keyboard layout. The FR and DE keyboards are new and have only been minimally tested. We welcome feedback.

Note

The keyboard in its present state is specific to the “Doulos SIL” and 'Charis SIL' fonts, in that it references characters in the private use area. In future releases of Doulos SIL and Charis SIL, a number of these characters are expected to appear in standard positions according to the newest Unicode specification, and the keyboard (and encodings of any documents using those characters) will have to be changed accordingly. This note does not, of course, affect standard (non-PUA) Unicode IPA characters. The keyboard supports up to Unicode 6.2.

Although the documentation does not mention Windows 8, this keyboard should work fine on Windows 8.

Please note

If you are using Word 2007 (and presumably later), you may not be able to type the @1, @2, @3 keystrokes. If that is the case you will need to disable sequence checking (File > Options > Advanced > Editing options > Use sequence checking > Type and replace).

Although these files have a new date on them, there is no change to the ver. 1.4 keyboard. The only change is in the documentation. Africanist upstep and downstep documentation was fixed.

This keyboard uses Keyboard Mapping for Linux (KMFL): http://kmfl.sourceforge.net/ which needs to have the iBus input method system turned on and configured.

It uses the same .kmn source file as SIL's IPA Unicode Keyboard. The keystrokes for both packages are the same.
