>>>Hi,
>>>
>>>I would like to add to my Windows 7 Cyrillic keyboard. So, that I can type in Russian/Cyrillic. I can add a Cyrillic keyboard to the PC (from the Control Panel). But the Russian keyboard that corresponds to the current (QWERTY) keyboard is not very intuitive. For example, the Russia letter Ya (don't know how to type it here) is on the key Z of the keyboard.
>>>
>>>Is there a way to make the keyboard, when trying to enter the Russian letters, to be more intuitive? For example, so that the letter Ya could be typed by typing two letters, Y and A?
>>>
>>>TIA
>>
>>I am not sure if the Windows IME has a mode for Russian that is similar to the "romanized input mode" for Japanese where I input text as hiragana/katakana syllabary in "romanized format".

>I don't know either. I was hoping that someone already had this need and found the solution.
>Thank you.

Not sure if this would help you:
