U.S. Custom Keyboard Layout

This is a homebrew tap containing a cask for the U.S. custom keyboard layout, which maps the § symbol to the compose key.
The compose key is very useful to compose e.g. accented letters without having a dedicated key for each of them.

Here's some examples:

  • <compose_key> + ' + e maps to é
  • <compose_key> + ` + e maps to è
  • <compose_key> + a + e maps to æ

This custom layout is very useful in combination with Karabiner Elements, which allows to remap any key to the § symbol (named non_us_backslash inside Karabiner Elements).

How do I install these formulae?

brew install dvdblg/us-custom-keyboard-layout/<formula>

Or brew tap dvdblg/us-custom-keyboard-layout and then brew install <formula>.

Documentation

brew help, man brew or check Homebrew's documentation.

Credits

All credit goes to J. ‘Mach’ Wust, who created this very useful macOS keyboard layout. I just packaged it in the form of a Homebrew Cask.
