Publisher's Description
From RWTH Aachen University:
If you are using a Mac with a U.S. keyboard layout (great for writing code, for example), but need to type lots of German text, then this is for you. This keyboard layout is exactly the same as the standard U.S. layout, but it lets you use the following keyboard shortcuts for German special characters:
- option-a for ä
- option-o for ö
- option-u for ü
- option-s for ß
This also works as expected for uppercase umlauts (Shift-option-A=Ä, Shift-option-O=Ö, Shift-option-U=Ü), and with Caps Lock enabled. Shift-option-S or Caps-option-S will create "SS", in accordance with typographical standards. (The Option key is also labeled "alt" on most keyboards.)
What's new in this version:
- Checked that the keyboard layout still works with Mac OS X 10.5.1 (Leopard)
- Updated the installation instructions, stressing the need to log out and back in
- Changed URLs to new "hci" server
- Changed long name to use official Apple "Optionstaste" German wording
- Updated web page and synced Readme file to it
- Updated version numbers to 0.9.8 (no Xcode rebuild, just edited plist and other text / string files)
