What is a .KVK file?

A .KVK file is a special type of file that is used to create an on-screen keyboard. This means it's a file that helps design a keyboard you can see and use on your computer screen, not a physical one you touch. It's made with a program called Keyman Developer, which is a tool for making, changing, and sharing these digital keyboards. Inside a .KVK file, there's information about how the keyboard looks, like which letters, numbers, or symbols appear on each key, and rules for how the keys work, including special keys that change when you press them with others.

To open and work with a .KVK file, you need to use Tavultesoft Keyman Developer. This is the software that was used to create the file in the first place. You can open a .KVK file in this program by going to the menu, clicking on "File," then "Open," and choosing the .KVK file you want to work with.

The .KVK file is important because it's used to put together a keyboard that can be used on Keyman Desktop, which is a program that lets you use different keyboards on your computer. When making a keyboard to share with others, the .KVK file is combined with a .KMN file, which is the main keyboard file, and sometimes an .ICO file, which is an icon file. This combination is then compiled or put together in a way that can be used on different devices. If the keyboard is for Android, iOS, or web use, the information in the .KVK file is mixed into the final keyboard file. But if the keyboard is for a computer running Windows or macOS, the .KVK file is included alongside the main keyboard file when it's shared.
