Similarly you can remap other keys and combinations to other variants. Shift + key 02B (the one next to Enter) to the grave accent sign.My aim was slightly different (I wanted a Czech Mac layout on a Windows machine) but the approach to handle this is the same.Ī few representative examples: means the key for ^ cannot be created, as the only option to write this via keyboard is AltGr + 3 - but this is written as an accent (=dead key), which is not really sufficient. send an ASC character based on a specific key click (in comparison, PowerToys only allows to switch key shortcut to a different key shortcut - which on Czech keyboard e.g. This is more complex to configure than MS PowerToys, but allows far more options, e.g. You can leave a comment, or trackback from your own site.I have managed to get this work with AutoHotKey.

Expand Keyboard list, click to select the Canadian French check box, and then click OK. Now start Ukelete, go to “File –> New From Current Input Source”: On the Keyboards and Language tab, click Change keyboards. So switch to a “Russian Phonetic” layout: But don’t give up just yet, there is an awesome solution: Ukelete which is an excellent Unicode Keyboard Layout Editor for Mac OS X. Leaving this be would result in many “typing in frustration” hours when you think you pressed “a”, but it was “b”, etc. Maybe someone is ok with this layout, but many letters here are quite far from being “phonetic”.
Well, what if none of them suites me? Let’s take a look at the Russian Phonetic layout that comes with OS X: However what about people who are fortunate to know and love another language ( besides English )? Easy, you’d say: Mac has gazillions of different layouts ( a.k.a.
Well yea, English is easy, since Mac does come with US keyboard that ironically comes with English letters. bring it on!įirst thing that I needed to do is to be able to type. Moving from several years of hardcore Ubuntu life to Mac is “a bit” challenging, but hey.
