keyboard layouts

RUSSIANEASY is a minimal 1-1 transliteration map optimised for learners of Russian using major international keyboards.

It uses 1 Latin letter for 1 Russian letter reducing visual clutter, speeding up input and the subsequent transition to reading cyrillic

Transliterated output is always as per Spanish / Brazilian map:

The following layouts have slight variations due to available symbols (Latin American, German, Turkish, French, Italian) mainly é=ä,è,ê ç=ß,ñ ú=ü,ù,û, ý=ÿ,ì,ş etc.. sometimes, and the uppercase of these letters may be irregular

Some Cyrillic pages use acute accents to indicate syllable stress, we convert them into circumflex to avoid confusion, and tilde when combined with an acute accent:
И́=Î Ы́=Ŷ Я́=Q̇ А́=Â Ю́=Ũ У́=Û О́=Ô Э́=Ẽ Е́=Ê

* Univocal means one latin letter per cyrillic letter, making it reversible, less cluttered and better for typing and reading.
** Partially from GOST 2002(B) standard

: view&type Transliterator Add-on HERE instructions below for translation: Wiktionary and google translate 1. Open firefox configuration editor (type about:config in the location field), then filter the preferences by "transliterator". 2. Come up with a unique identifier for your new layout, something composed of only letters and numbers (e.g. RUSSIANEASY) 3. Right-click on the configuration editor, choose New -> String, enter preference name extensions.transliterator.layouts.myconfig, hit enter, paste transliteration table BELOW 4. Right-click and add new string again, this time enter extensions.transliterator.layouts.myconfig.description and a name for your transliteration table, e.g. "RUSSIANEASY" 5. Add a new boolean preference extensions.transliterator.layouts.myconfig.case_sensitive and set it to true. 6. Finally, set up shortcuts in the options, I like: ALT-Z Cyrillic/Russian-->Latin/English (transliterate) ALT-X toggle between CYRILLIC/LATIN input ALT-A Latin-->Cyrillic (detransliterate) There is also the option of locking a page in translit mode, useful when you want to enter many textboxes.
