The Complete Set[adiht | adiht fruman]

Customising your keyboard[adiht | adiht fruman]

Macintosh OS X[adiht | adiht fruman]

For Macintosh OS X, you can place this custom-made keyboard layout into your Library > Keyboard Layouts folder, and then activate it by choosing Anglo-Saxon under your System Preferences > International menu after restarting. The UK-English-based file is available here.

Ubuntu Linux[adiht | adiht fruman]

For Ubuntu systems, download this US-based keyboard layout, then place it in your ~/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols folder with this following Terminal command:

cd ~/Downloads

to navigate there (assuming that's where you put it), and then:

sudo cp us ~/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols

After which, just restart and navigate to System > Preferences > Keyboard > Layouts > Add... > By country and choose United States > USA International (AltGr dead keys). It's an exact copy of your existing us layout, but with additions for ȝ (ALT+y) and ƿ (ALT+w) for your keyboard.

Autocorrects[adiht | adiht fruman]

An alternative, to avoid mucking your keyboard settings up, is to type text in Microsoft Word or similar. Programme a series of "Autocorrect" options, but make sure they will not be triggered accidentally while typing something else. The "#" symbol is useful.
