# EurKEY-Mac modified
# EurKEY-macOS
The macOS Keyboard Layout for Europeans, Coders and Translators. If you are looking for the _offical_ layout, check out the [release page](https://github.com/felixfoertsch/EurKEY-Mac/releases) and download [v1.3](https://github.com/felixfoertsch/EurKEY-Mac/releases/tag/v1.3).
The Keyboard Layout for Europeans, Coders and Translators. This repo is a fork and contains a **modified verison** of the EurKEY base layout.
Additionally, this repo contains a modified verison ([v1.4](https://github.com/felixfoertsch/EurKEY-Mac/releases/tag/v1.4)) of the layout, where the superscript numbers are written by pressing SHIFT and the subscript numbers without pressing SHIFT.
I start versioning my customized edition from 2, since the layout is based on my modified EurKEY v1.4 that I have been using the last few years. The version with slight fixes is now available is called v1.5.
This is a port of the [EurKEY Keyboard layout](http://eurkey.steffen.bruentjen.eu/), which features a QWERTY baseline layout (=good access to braces etc.) with quick access to commonly used accented characters and Umlauts.
EurKEY-macOS is a rework targeted at MacBooks with the with pyhiscal English International keyboard (ISO). Since it is an ISO layout, it has one additional key (`) and the big Enter key.
Please report if you find any missing characters.
The keyboard layout should be compatible with the other ISO layouts typically available in Europe (e.g. German ISO). I tested the layout on the current tenkeyless MacBook keyboard (MacBook Air 2024). Working numpad keys are therefore not guaranteed.
