- Adobe makes a keyboard management utility; it is bundled with their
- Minion Cyrillic (Type 1) font. It comes with keyboard layouts for a
- variety of languages, including the traditional Russian keyboard and a
- phonetic one; the user can rearrange these or create custom layouts, as
- well. Mouse-oriented users can pull down a list at any time and swap on
- the fly; keyboard-oriented types can configure hot-keys for keyboard
- swapping. I use it with AmiPro 3.0 running in Win-OS/2 (OS/2's
- implementation of Windows) and everything works as advertised.
-
- I don't know whether the keyboard utility is marketed apart from the
- Minion Cyrillic font, but you might be able to find out from Adobe. Now
- if only there was a comparable product for native OS/2 operations!
