Now one question remains: which keyboard should I start with: a French AZERTY or a US QWERTY keyboard? ( All mac keyboard layouts here)īy the way: if you’re looking for a keymap editor for Windows, here’s one from Microsoft. Ukele easily lets you reassign characters to keys with any hot key combination and it also lets you create dead keys (multiple keypress sequences to create one character). I just found the perfect tool for create new keyboard layouts on the mac: Ukelele ! :) The only bearable solution in the long run is to remap the keys to an order that makes a little more sense. There are no additional keyboard layouts in Settings > Time&Language > Language > Keyboards > Add a keyboard. Follow this answer to receive notifications. A normal Windows keyboard will work just fine but you will have to relearn how the modifier keys work. It’s probably better to use an Apple keyboard or one that’s designed for a Mac but that’s really only because of the keys on it. Then, click the + sign at the bottom left part of the window, choose Portuguese in the language section and choose whatever Portuguese keyboard layout that works best for you. A Mac can be used with any type of keyboard.

share a single key! require THREE fingers! (you’d better give un on using arrays!! :p) To change the layout, go to System Settings -> Keyboard -> Layout tab. One thing I hate about French keytboards is that they have all the punctuation keys messed up… which is particularily painful when trying to write code.

One thing I hate about US keyboards is that they don’t let me type my French special characters by any memorable strecth – what’s the dead key for the cedilla again? (ç)
