The Keyboard Layout for Europeans, Coders and Translators
Ports and variants for Mac and Windows, based on EurKEY keyboard layout by Steffen Brüntjen
Fork of Leonardo Brondani Schenkel's EurKEY, updated to v1.3 as designed by Steffen Brüntjen.
This version appears to be optimised for physical ANSI style keyboards.
For usage with ISO style physical keyboards. Swapped the §
and Gravis
keys (leftmost of number row and bottom row, key not available on ANSI keyboards).
Swapped the Z
and Y
keys. For use in QWERTZ dominated places.
Windows seems to be less picky about the physical keyboard style. It has a bunch of other oddities, though. One being that keyboard layouts are associated with a locale (=language).
DLL name: eurkey
Updated to version v1.3 as designed by Steffen Brüntjen, yet bugged: The dead key state shift + altGr + m
does not work.
DLL name: eurkeyi
Like the Mac -iso version, this one is optimised for ISO style physical keyboards, i.e. the additional bottom left key produces §
/±
. This closer reflects the original US layout than the US-International.
Since altGr + iso-key
is not defined, I made it \
, inspired by the Swiss layout.
DLL name: eurkezi
Swapped the Z
and Y
keys. For use in QWERTZ dominated places.
Copy the two files EurKEY.keylayout
and EurKEY.icns
to your library, either system-wide (/Library/Keyboard Layouts
) or for your local user (~/Library/Keyboard Layouts
). A system-wide installation is preferred though to ensure the layout is available to all applications. (See also this Superuser answer.)
Use Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator to build an installer from a .klc file.
I will not publish binary files.
