  <p>In summary: I have created a custom keyboard layout with Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator 1.4 in Windows 10, it is working but only partially. It cannot:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><p>combine two keystrokes into one to type a "combined letter", e.g, "¨"+"u" = "ü". It should not exist in Chinese but I want to achieve this.</p></li>
  <li><p>type Chinese pinyin and Chinese punctuation. In MS pinyin IME, I can press shift to switch between Chinese pinyin mode and English mode. Under pinyin mode I can convert letters into pinyin and thus get Chinese characters, but my layout lacks this. And, if I press "," in Microsoft Pinyin in pinyin mode, it should give me "，"(full length comma), but this layout is not able to do this. </p></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>I am thinking about two ways to solve this:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><p>Substitute Microsoft Pinyin's keyboard layout to my layout(replace the English part of MS Pinyin with my layout)</p></li>
  <li><p>Copy the pinyin part of MS pinyin to my layout.</p></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>So, how can I solve this?</p>
