Mac Keyboard Layout - Esperanto

A set of super convenient keyboard layout schemata for the Esperanto language.

Installation

Just drop Esperanto.bundle into the directory ~/Library/Keyboard Layouts

~ is an alias for your home directory. (e.g. /Users/ada)

In Finder you can use the shortcut Command+Shift+G and then go to the directory by entering ~/Library/Keyboard Layouts.

If this is not your first time to install these keyboard layouts, remove the old layouts first. Next, logout and login again. Then reinstall.

Features

• Based on multiple layouts of the English Apple keyboards.

• More latin letters from the combinations of accents and letters.

• Support the x-system:

  c + x/X = ĉ	C + x/X = Ĉ
  g + x/X = ĝ	G + x/X = Ĝ
  h + x/X = ĥ	H + x/X = Ĥ
  j + x/X = ĵ	J + x/X = Ĵ
  s + x/X = ŝ	S + x/X = Ŝ
  u + x/X = ŭ	U + x/X = Ŭ

• Support the xx-system:

  c + x + x = cxx	C + x + x = Cxx
  c + x + X = cxX	C + x + X = CxX
  c + X + x = cXx	C + X + x = CXx
  c + X + X = cXX	C + X + X = CXX
  ...(similarly for g/h/j/s/u + x/X + x/X)...

• Use ESC or Tab or irrelevant keys to cancel incomplete combinations:

  c + Tab = c	C + Tab = C
  g + Tab = g	G + Tab = G
  h + Tab = h	H + Tab = H
  j + Tab = j	J + Tab = J
  s + Tab = s	S + Tab = S
  u + Tab = u	U + Tab = U
  c + x + Tab = ĉ	(c + x + Tab ≠ cx)...
  S + u + g + a + r + c + o + a + t + i + n + g + . = Sugarcoating.
