START AUTOMATICALLY WITH WINDOWS
--------------------------------
Right-click "Install BoM69 Keyboard at startup.ps1" and choose
"Run with PowerShell".

If script execution is blocked, open PowerShell in this folder and run:

  powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File ".\Install BoM69 Keyboard at startup.ps1"

To remove the startup shortcut, run:

  powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File ".\Remove BoM69 Keyboard from startup.ps1"

NOTES
-----
- Ctrl, Windows-key, and left-Alt shortcuts remain available.
- The layout uses physical US-keyboard positions, so it remains stable even
  when another logical Windows layout is selected.
- Some elevated applications require the AutoHotkey script to be run as
  administrator before it can type into them.
- This package is a system-wide AutoHotkey mapping while the script is
  running. It is not a native Windows language-bar layout.
- The name BoM69 refers to the 1869 Deseret Alphabet Book of Mormon corpus
  used to construct the keyboard layout.
