What is a .KPS file?

A .KPS file is a special kind of computer file used by people who make digital keyboards. Think of it like a recipe that tells the computer which ingredients (or files) to use to make a complete keyboard package. This file is made with a program called Keyman Developer, which is a tool for creating, changing, and sharing digital keyboards.

When someone designs a new keyboard in Keyman Developer, they can put it into a package to make it easier for others to use. This package can have the keyboard itself, a welcome message, different styles of letters (fonts), shortcuts for typing faster, and instructions. These parts are saved in files with endings like .KMX for the keyboard, .KVK for virtual keyboard files, .TTF for fonts, and .HTML for web pages or instructions.

The .KPS file acts like a list, telling Keyman Developer which of these parts to put together to make a complete package, which ends up with a .KMP ending. This is handy because it means all the necessary parts can be bundled together, making it simpler for someone else to install and use the new keyboard.

If you have Keyman Developer on your computer, you might see a .KPS file. It's made using a part of Keyman Developer called the Package Editor. To look inside a .KPS file or change it, you would open Keyman Developer, go to the File menu, choose Open, and then pick the .KPS file you're interested in.

So, in short, a .KPS file is a key part of making and sharing digital keyboards with Keyman Developer, telling the program how to put together all the pieces needed for the keyboard to work properly on other people's computers.
