I have made a custom layout, but it is still quite imperfect. It would be imperfect even if it had a Windows version. Installation to templateVMs is not an issue, but other machines are tricky. First, RDP does not honour my local keyboard layout. Second, it is some overhead for various short-lived Windows VMs (e.g., IE VMS).

@v6ak Short lived VMs should inherit the setup of the template so that should not be an issue.

That's true for template-based VMs, but not for VMs you have just downloaded. And also not for remote VMs that are not managed by you. I am relatively OK with standard US layout (when I don't need diacritics, it is mostly compatible with CShack), but using number row is not much natural for me.
