“DSL KeyPad” is a utility written on AutoHotkey 2.0, designed for inputting a wide range of characters using hotkeys and auxiliary functions. Its primary focus is on enhancing input capabilities for Latin and Cyrillic scripts, allowing typing in multiple languages without the need for separate keyboard layouts for each language. Requires common QWERTY (English US)/ЙЦУКЕН (Russian) keyboard layouts.
More than 4,700 Unicode characters are available.
Additionaly, it supports typing on the Germanic Runes, Glagolitic, Old Turkic, Old Permic, Phoenician, Carian, Lycian, Ugaritic etc.

- Compositing mode that allows typing an extended range, converts sequence to an result (e.g., AE → Æ, ΣΤ → Ϛ, ІѦ → Ѩ, ДЧ → Ԭ, etc.), and allows the user to input a code (e.g., A+0–255/0255 or U+0000–10FFFF) to obtain the corresponding symbol (Compose key is RAlt×2)

- Support for user-defined “recipes” in Compositing mode
- Support for importing Linux “*.XCompose” sequences as custom recipes
