General information
|
|
|
|
Additional Mac OS X keyboard layout file used with a German
|
|
keyboard.
|
|
|
|
The Keyboard Layout follows basically the "Neo Layout" (Version 1.1),
|
|
a proposal for an ergonomic optimized German Standard Keyboard from
|
|
Hanno Behrens in 2004 (see http://www.neo-layout.org).
|
|
|
|
The keyboard layout file is approved under the SIL Freeware License
|
|
and the keyboard layout itself is approved under the GNU general
|
|
Public License.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Installation
|
|
|
|
Unpack the archive file and copy the .keylayout and .icns file
|
|
into the folder .../Library/Keyboard Layouts. Create this folder
|
|
if it does not exist already.
|
|
|
|
After a log out and log in back again, the keyboard layout can
|
|
activate in "System Preferences" and "International", "Input Menu".
|
|
|
|
If "Show input menu in menu bar" is active, you can switch between
|
|
the active keyboard layouts in the menu bar.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Background
|
|
|
|
The keyboard layout can used additional to a standard keyboard
|
|
layout, in general all German characters are available too.
|
|
|
|
The keyboard layout is most similar to the implementation of the
|
|
"Neo Layout" (Version 1.1) by Hanno Behrens for Windows and Linux
|
|
respectively the X Window System.
|
|
|
|
The keyboard layout does not fit to the implementation of the Neo
|
|
keyboard layout for Mac OS X from 2005.
