 ## Bluetooth functionality
 
 This requires [some hardware changes](https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/3psx0q/the_planck_keyboard_with_bluetooth_guide_and/?ref=search_posts), but can be enabled via the Makefile. The firmware will still output characters via USB, so be aware of this when charging via a computer. It would make sense to have a switch on the Bluefruit to turn it off at will.

+## International Characters on Windows
+
+[AutoHotkey](https://autohotkey.com) allows Windows users to create custom hotkeys amont others.
+
+The method does not require Unicode support in the keyboard itself but depends instead of AutoHotkey running in the background.
+
+First you need to select a modifier combination that is not in use by any of your programs.
+CtrlAltWin is not used very widely and should therefore be perfect for this.
+There is a macro defined for a mod-tab combo `LCAG_T`.
+Add this mod-tab combo to a key on your keyboard, e.g.: `LCAG_T(KC_TAB)`. 
+This makes the key behave like a tab key if pressed and released immediately but changes it to the modifier if used with another key.
+
+In the default script of AutoHotkey you can define custom hotkeys.
+
+  <^<!<#a::Send, ä
+  <^<!<#<+a::Send, Ä
+
+The hotkeys above are for the combination CtrlAltGui and CtrlAltGuiShift plus the letter a.
+AutoHotkey inserts the Text right of `Send, ` when this combination is pressed.
