USInternational Keyboard Layout for Mac OS X and Classic 1.2


Keyboard layout for international users.
This is a keyboard layout for international users who are accustomed to using Microsoft Windows with US keyboards.

It duplicates exactly the behavior of Window's "U.S. - International" keyboard layout to produce accented characters, while maintaining the Mac's option-key method wherever possible.

Now here's a Mac version of the "U.S. - International" keyboard. It duplicates as closely as possible the Windows key sequences, while keeping most of the option-key sequences intact.

The bad news is that this keyboard layout will work only for "usual" applications. Some games don't check the keyboard layout correctly, and Unix-ported applications running under X11 won't see it either.


What's New in This Release:

  • This layout is in the new XML format (previous versions used the legacy resource file format).
  • It should be more compatible with Leopard (10.5) than the previous version.
  • Some Finder keyboard actions didn't work correctly; this has been fixed.
  • Some inconsistencies with "caps lock" have been fixed.
  • Now works with 64-bit applications.
  • Now works with Java applications.
  • Now works with the Terminal.
  • It's more compatible with some of Apple's "Pro" apps.
