What is a .KXX file?
A .KXX file is a special kind of computer file used for storing keyboard layouts in a secure way. It is made using a program called Keyman Developer, which is a tool for creating, changing, and sharing different types of digital keyboards. The "encrypted" part means that the information inside the file is scrambled to protect it, so only certain programs can understand it.
This file, the .KXX, holds a keyboard layout that's been made for a specific purpose or product using Keyman Engine, which is a part of the Keyman software family. Because it's encrypted and designed for a special use, you can't just open it with any software. It's meant to work with the specific Keyman Engine product it was created for, and won't work with the general Keyman Desktop software or other custom products.
To open a .KXX file, you need to use Tavultesoft Keyman Developer, the same program used to create it. This is because when developers make a custom keyboard for a specific Keyman Engine product, they also create a .KXX file during the process of making an installer for that product. The .KXX file is then tied to that specific product, ensuring that the custom keyboard layout can only be used with that product.
In summary, a .KXX file is a secure, encrypted file that contains a custom keyboard layout for specific Keyman Engine products, and it can only be opened and used with Tavultesoft Keyman Developer.
