Lithuanian keyboard layout for MacOS X (minor deviation from numerical layout)

Perkūnas

"Perkūnas" means "thunder" in Lithuanian.

This is a Lithuanian keyboard layout for MacOS X. It is basically a minor deviation from standard numeric layout with the following changes:

  • The § remains on the same key as in the US layout;
  • Same goes for ` (so I can switch between application windows easily);
  • The Option key (also known as Alt) forces the top key row (1!2@3#...) to behave like in the US layout.

The layouts were created with Ukelele.

Installing

Download the Perkunas.keylayout file. The icon (Perkunas.icns) is nice to have as a visual indication, but not required otherwise.

  • Open (or create) Library/Keyboard Layouts in your home directory.
  • Put the files mentioned above inside that folder.
  • (Recommended) Logout, login.
  • Go to International preference pane, choose Input menu tab and put a tick by Perkūnas.

If you would, however, like to install the layout for all users, put the files in /Library/Keyboard Layouts instead.
