    A command-line installer for Windows.

  • Unfortunately scoop stopped being maintained. See https://github.com/lukesampson/scoop/issues/3393

  • 9ime

    Plan 9's unicode input method ported to windows

  • Being a plan 9 nerd, I originally found 9ime [1] when I wanted a compose key in windows. It serves the same purpose and has the same default compose key of right-Alt. I’ve yet to be frustrated by it enough to switch to wincompose (but the UX is certainly better).

  • xkeyboard-config

    Discontinued XKB data.

  • I use capslock.

    There are a number of popular choices that come preconfigured, see file /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/base.lst line 851

  • Conkey

    Shovel. Alternative, more advanced, and user-friendly implementation of windows command-line installer scoop.
