If you're on Windows and you need the apple-french keyboard layout, this project is the solution.
It gives you:
cmd
and ctrl
to be closer to macosx (like copy/paste)At first, there's no mapping for Apple keyboard in Windows. You have to find and install the correct layout. Though, on Internet, you'll find some but they do not handle well for instance @
, #
, <
, >
. This is why I did my own layout.
Here, you've got the source of the layout and the distribuable.
If you want to edit the source, you'll need the Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator. You'll be able to edit src/apple-fr.klc
.
If you want to install it, just run dist/apple-fr/setup.exe
.
cmd
and ctrl
Apple uses cmd
as control to do copy, paste, control all the text, etc. So we need to modify ctrl
into cmd
and vice-versa. We'll be macosx compliant.
Simply run dist/switch-cmd-ctrl.reg
.
Download this app, it will do the job for you.
Enjoy! And if you have any better way, or any good idea, do not hesitate to make a PR or create an issue.
right-ctrl
(yet?). Could be sometimes a problem. Last time, I played to a specific game, it askes me to make one choice between two solutions. To make this choice, it was left-ctrl
or right-ctrl
. I couldn't choose the right-ctrl
choice. Too bad.left-alt
doesn't work like right-alt
. left-alt
is reserved to Windows. All characters are available only via right-alt
. Do not use left-alt
for that, you'll be surprised if not.
