I base my keyboard layouts on ANSI US, since that layout is pretty good for programming. There are 2 main reasons for this project:
- I use Mac and Windows, and want to have the same layout and shortcuts
- I am Portuguese, and I want to be able to type comfortably in my native language
When possible, I have a layout called US-PT, that includes both layouts described bellow,
relying on Caps Lock
to swap between them.
Caps Lock
OFF (default) -> US-PT-DevCaps Lock
ON -> US-PT-International
Focuses on programming or English typing, but adds the potential for typing in Portuguese:
-
Alt
+[
{
->~
^
(dead key) -
Alt
+]
}
->´
`
(dead key) -
Alt
+'
"
->º
ª
-
Alt

->ç
-
Alt
