KVK files

Used by: : Keyman Desktop.

Description: : A .KVK file is a Keyman On Screen Keyboard file.

Details: : A .KVK file is created in Keyman Developer from the Keyman On Screen Keyboard source file (.KVKS). Web, Android and iOS keyboards, when compiled, embed the .KVK content into the output file, but desktop keyboards (Windows and macOS) require the .KVK file to be included with the keyboard at distribution time.

Distributed with keyboard: : A .KVK file is associated with a specific keyboard, and must be distributed with that keyboard to be usable.
