All my keyboard layouts try to adhere to certain principles.
AltGr (right Alt key) serves as a modifier, yielding additional
symbols, Menu key serves as a Compose key. 

AltGr when pressed with keys labelled with letters produces special
symbols. E.g. on a cyrillic layout, pressing AltGr+i in Russian mode
produces і (U+0456 CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER BYELORUSSIAN-UKRAINIAN I). So
now AltGr+Shift+key has also a meaning now (producing uppercase
letters). AltGr pressed with non-letter keys usually (but not
universally) tries to produce symbol that is labelled on US layout.

There are a few scripts provided, that can load an appropriate 
layout. These scripts are "skx", "eox", "cyrxx", they load
Slovak, Esperanto and Russian layout respectively.
You switch between the two groups by pressing both Shift keys
together.
