EurKEY-macOS

The Keyboard Layout for Europeans, Coders and Translators. This repo is a fork and contains a modified verison of the EurKEY base layout.

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.

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.

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.

Installation

Copy the EurKEY.bundle file to /Library/Keyboard Layouts/ (for global installation) or ~/Library/Keyboard Layouts/ (for user installation).
