CNTDesigner

CNTDesigner is a standalone, freeware utility developed by Polital Enterprises that serves as the dedicated layout designer for Click-N-Type, a renowned virtual on-screen keyboard. Click-N-Type provides crucial computer accessibility for individuals with physical disabilities who cannot use a standard hardware keyboard but can operate a pointing device. While Click-N-Type comes equipped with highly functional preloaded configurations, CNTDesigner gives users and caregivers absolute creative autonomy to engineer custom interfaces from scratch. The Core Problem Solved by CNTDesigner

Standard keyboards—both hardware and virtual—rely on generic layouts like QWERTY. For individuals navigating computers via eye-tracking, head mice, or trackballs, traveling across a massive, generalized key cluster is exhausting. CNTDesigner solves this problem by allowing users to change the physical footprint of the keyboard. Unnecessary buttons can be completely removed to minimize clutter, leaving only the essentials. Key Customization Capabilities

The utility acts as a blank grid where keys can be drawn, resized, and mapped individually. Its core design functionalities include:

Sizing and Scaling: Users can dramatically enlarge high-frequency target keys while shrinking secondary triggers.

Macro and Word Prediction Integrations: Custom macro triggers or specialized prediction panels can be positioned anywhere on the interface.

Layout Optimization: Layouts can be optimized for specific scanning patterns or localized languages by integrating language packs. Setting Up a Custom Layout

Download and Install: Download the utility directly via the Polital Enterprises Download Center.

Launch the Grid Canvas: Open the application to reveal a blank layout builder mapped to the pixel dimensions of your operating system.

Draft and Arrange Keys: Click and drag to create key borders, assigning specific letters, numbers, or Windows commands to each box.

Export to Click-N-Type: Save the finalized layout file, then load it inside Click-N-Type under the “User Defined Keyboards” menu to deploy it instantly.

If you are currently setting up an assistive workspace, what specific pointing device or scanning method will the end user be deploying? I can offer tips on optimizing key sizes and buffer zones specifically for that input system. CNTDesigner Keyboard Designer By Polital Enterprises
