What is a .KCT file?
A .KCT file is a special kind of file that is made using a program called Keyman Developer. This program is used by people who want to make new digital keyboards that can be used on computers and other devices. These digital keyboards can be for different languages or special purposes. The .KCT file has important information that decides how the keyboard looks to the user. This includes things like the words that appear on the screen, how the settings window looks, and what the welcome screen shows when someone starts using the keyboard.
To open or work with a .KCT file, you need to have Keyman Developer installed on your computer. This is because the .KCT file is made and used within this specific program. Keyman Developer has a special tool called the Branding Editor, and this is where you create a .KCT file. If you are making a keyboard and want to share it with others, you will use the .KCT file when you are putting together an installer for your keyboard. This means that when your keyboard installer is being made, the .KCT file is turned into another type of file called a .PXX file, which is included in the final product that people can install.
In simple terms, if you are interested in creating your own digital keyboards or customizing how a keyboard looks and works, you might need to use a .KCT file with Keyman Developer. But if you don't use Keyman Developer, it's unlikely you'll need to open or use a .KCT file.
