A mac-keyboard-layout for german speaking hackers that does not suck.
Works on ANSI and ISO keyboards. Easy to learn because most of the stuff is there where you expect it to be (not like complete new layouts like DVORAK or NEO).
Essentially its a us-keyboard-layout with some alterations:
Z
and Y
are where german speaking people like it. (Z
is between T
and U
, Y
left of X
)€
and ß
work with option-key
/ alt
+ base-key:
option
+ A
= ä
option
+ shift
+ A
= Ä
option
+ O
= ö
option
+ shift
+ O
= Ö
option
+ U
= ü
option
+ shift
+ U
= Ü
option
+ S
= ß
option
+ E
= €
~
(tilde / unix-home) is on two places:
shift
+ `
(us-standard)left-shift
and Y
(extra key: yay!)°
(degree) is on shift
+ the extra ISO-key (between left-shift
and Y
)`
, ~
or ^
you get `
, ~
or ^
,
not .
