Quick Start

• Profit even more but in bold

Also note, don't change files or installers, etc if you don't know what you're doing, check the "Screwed up?" section for more information. Just use the installers and you'll be fine, changes only need to be made in specific use case scenarios.

Whats the purpose

These packages are not readily available to end users and sometimes you'll not be able to find anywhere without downloading bootcamp from MacOS. These packages fix issues such as not being able to use delete (fn + backspace) on the keyboard or not detecting the device properly. Usually changes are ready and functional right after install but you may need to restart in some circumstances.

If a layout doesn't show up in keyboard layouts

• Try to look for the english name of the layout that's how the installation is set (ex. "Belgian (Apple)");

• Change the "reg add" instructions for your keyboard layout to your preferred name in the line where "/v" is "Layout Text", after "/d" should be the layout name (ex.: reg add "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layouts\a0000809" /v "Layout Text" /t REG_SZ /d "BRI'ISH (Apple)");

• Reinstall your keyboard layout manually as instructed below.

Manually install Keyboard Layouts

To manually install a keyboard layout using a DLL you'll need:

• Keyboard layout DLL file (ex.: BritishA.dll);

• Regedit add key (reg add) instructions found in install_keyboard_layouts.bat.

Then you need to follow these steps:

• Copy DLL file to system32 folder;

• Add the corresponding layout keys to the registry through the "reg add" instructions using a an elevated command line (cmd) prompt.

Your layout will be ready for use.

Screwed up?

Screwed up, deleted system32 or something? No warranty, you're on your own. Good luck.
