Field notes

The page describes a local Windows app with Telex and VNI modes, a configurable switch shortcut, and settings accessible from the system tray. It says users can keep Japanese, Chinese, or Korean input methods active alongside VietKeys, and describes turning the utility off for selected apps. The install instructions include an administrator-rights prompt; the page also warns that the unsigned installer may trigger Windows' protection warning.
