The standard British key layout makes a UK-issue Apple keyboard work as it should do, but for some of us who have typed on non-Apple keyboards our whole lives - or for those Mac owners who are using a third-party keyboard - the Apple standard layout doesn't feel quite right. For example, Shift+2 gives you @, whereas on more standard keyboards it gives you ". This file will map the " @ # ~ \ | �?�?�¢â?¬�¡�?â??�?�£ ` keys to be where you would expect them to be on a UK keyboard.
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Super - exactly what I was looking for. All you new Mac Mini people hooking up to a UK PC keyboard will find this little file makes life much, much easier!
It soon makes you realise how many times you type in your email address, so those keys being in the 'right' place (i.e. not with the '2' key!) for a UK PC user are very necessary. Now, if you could do a version that sorts out the Ctrl-End and Ctrl-Home - or swaps the Windows (Option) key with the Control key, I would be typing this far quicker!! ;-)
Instructions for a Mac newbie were easy to follow. So highly recommended! Thanks.
