Keyboard Customization for Your Language

The Pit River keyboard customization is for both languages of the Pit River Tribe, Achumawi (Ó tissi or 'Pit River') and Atsugewi ('Hat Creek').

The Wintu keyboard is for the Wintu language.

Installation

We use Keyman for our keyboard customizations. If you have not installed Keyman, do so now:

  1. Go to https://keyman.com/windows/download.
  2. Scroll to the bottom, below the heading "Download Keyman nn.n for Windows without any keyboards".
  3. Select the Download button.
  4. Open the Keyman install script and install the program in the usual manner.

To install a keyboard:

  1. Download the package file.
    For the Pit River keyboard, download pit_river.kmp.
    For the Wintu keyboard, download wintu.kmp.
  2. Double-click that downloaded file. This launches the app to install the keyboard.
  3. Click the Install button.

Use the Windows key + Spacebar to toggle between the standard keyboard and the keyboard for your language.

If there are more than two keyboard choices when you do that, go to Settings > Time & Language > Language & Region and delete the languages associated with the unwanted keyboard choices. All you need for this keyboard is the default input language, which is probably English (United States).
