Disclaimer: This script doesn't include the whole implementation of the English International Mac keyboard layout for windows. Only the parts I need.

I was annoyed by having to switch between the German and US keyboard layout on Windows. I didn't find any solution on Windows that is as elegant as the solution on Mac.

I personally also include the following part at the end of the script to make the < (>) key between my left shift key and my Y key become a ` (~) key like on the English International Mac keyboard.

; SC056 (key between left shift and y, doesn't exist on every keyboard) key prints ` and Shift+SC056 prints ~
SC056::Send ``
+SC056::Send ~
return

Now I can finally type in peace ☺

Should the return on line 3 be removed?

@mbinna Your screenshot with the error message is referring to another script.
AFAIK the return statement in line 3 should stay. In the examples from the documentation they also add a return statement after every Hotkey -> Send block.

I had some additional settings at the top of my script. I removed them and don't get the warning anymore. Thanks!
