Guidance when you need it.

Export a JSON with VIA’s “Save Current Layout”. To display accurate physical key geometry, also provide the board’s VIA definition. Choose “Save As New” to retain the configuration in your account.

In Studio, open a source and target keyboard, select a layer and then a key on each side. “Copy FROM → TO” changes only the chosen target key in your working draft. You can copy across ANSI/ISO and 60/75% layouts.

Save an unfinished configuration as a separate WIP draft. After downloading the VIA JSON, import it in VIA only with the intended target keyboard connected. Back up that keyboard’s current layout first.

Function Registry is searchable without registering. Character output can depend on the host operating system and keyboard layout. Test unverified community examples carefully.

Your personal Vault entries are encrypted on the server and separated by account. This is not end-to-end encryption: the server manages a decryption key. Never store passwords or sensitive secrets in VIA macros. Exported VIA JSON files are not encrypted.

The public ISOHU homepage will grow into a collection of build journals, keyboard collections and tutorials. The Workshop, Help, Vault and Studio always provide a way back to the homepage.
