Install and enable#

Use the plugin package for your installed engine version. Supported versions: UE 5.5–5.8.

  1. Install the plugin using the instructions supplied with your purchase.
  2. Open your project and go to Edit → Plugins.
  3. Search for the plugin by name and enable it.
  4. Restart the editor if prompted.

The keyboard correction runs on Windows. Other platforms do not receive it.

Test a number-key action#

  1. Open Project Settings → Plugins → Any Keyboard Layout.
  2. Leave Digits enabled.
  3. Use a gameplay action bound to One through Zero, such as a hotbar slot.
  4. Select a Windows keyboard layout whose number row normally types letters or symbols.
  5. Start Play In Editor and focus the game viewport.
  6. Press the number-row key and check the action.

Switch between installed Windows layouts with Win+Space. You can use an Enhanced Input mapping or an existing legacy action mapping.

Check typing too#

Focus a text box and type with that same layout. The text should remain what the keyboard layout normally produces.

Try positional movement#

Enable Physical to place gameplay bindings by US-QWERTY position. On AZERTY, the keys labeled ZQSD then operate WASD bindings.

Before using this mode in a finished game, update key prompts with Get Key Display Name (Keyboard Layout) and review any saved custom bindings.

See Physical controls and key prompts.
