One key means one character in any layout

Good evening! Can you tell me how to program a comma-only key in Windows, regardless of the keyboard layout? Thank you.

You can not separate how to program a key in the UHK without knowing the layout which is chosen in the operating system (in your case Windows). The UHK or any other keyboard will send the US keys to the computer and there that will be used to output a character based on the active keyboard layout. For English-speaking people that is trivial. For others you have to know which US-key is used in your layout. Some configuration software’s allow to show different keyboard layout. Agent currently does not support that unfortunately.

See https://ultimatehackingkeyboard.com/blog/2018/06/23/how-can-i-type-accented-characters-with-my-uhk for a more in-depth explanation of the matter.

Alt codes should do the trick, at least as far as your layouts have conventional numpad mappings… …but it is a preťty ugly solution that may misbehave on some contexts.
