UmlautS

A mac-keyboard-layout for german speaking hackers that does not suck.

Its the us-keyboard-layout with very few changes:

• your umlauts work with option-key / alt + location on the german keyboard layout:
  • option + ' = ä
  • option + shift + ' = Ä
  • option + ; = ö
  • option + shift + ; = Ö
  • option + [ = ü
  • option + shift + [ = Ü

Installation

Copy UmlautS.keylayout into ~/Library/Keyboard\ Layouts and pick UmlautS as layout in the preference pane.
