How to install

Step 1 Setting the global options

• Open the keyboard settings (System -> Preferences -> Keyboard) and click the “Layouts” tab. Then click the “Other options…” button.
• Press “Alt/Win key behavior” and choose “Left Alt is swapped with left Win-key”.
• Press “Third level choosers” and select “Press any of Alt keys to choose 3rd level” (or “Press left Alt keys to choose 3rd level”).

Step 2 Replacing the Ubuntu Norwegian keyboard file

Backup /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/no as you see fit. Copy the no file included in this package to /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/. Ie:

sudo mv /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/no /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/no.bak
sudo cp no /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/no

Step 3 Select Norwegian Macintosh

The only thing remaining is to select “Norwegian Macintosh” as your default keyboard layout. In System -> Preferences -> Keyboard, press the “Layouts”-tab and press the “+”-button. Select “Norwegian Macintosh” and make sure it's on top of the list (or the only one)

Hit the keyboard icon to verify the layout matches your keyboard.
