This is usually because the manufacturer wants to keep the costs down, resulting in you getting a well-priced gadget for typing on the move. However, when we get something like a Bluetooth keyboard in to review then the layout is nearly always the standard US one. They probably sell millions of these things, and they’re relatively cheap to make, so offering the correct layout for your country isn’t too much of a problem. The keyboard I’m using right now is the standard UK one that I’m used to, but it’s a plug-in USB one which is connected to a PC. Now, it may surprise you, but I do partially understand. Here’s the screenshot from the UK website, although you’ll find a similar message in every non-US version of the site… However, if you have splashed out on a rather expensive iPad Pro you’ll quickly notice that the additional Smart Keyboard, which costs £139, is only available in the US keyboard layout. Indeed, if you’re in Germany or Austria, perhaps even Switzerland, you might be used to using the QWERTZ layout.
It might not seem like a big deal, but go into a web cafe where tourists are struggling to type and you’ll soon see the problems it throws up. Sudo launchctl unload -w - /Library/LaunchAgents/ sudo rm -f - /Library/LaunchAgents/ ~/.US keyboard (top) compared to a UK keyboard (bottom) Open your favourite terminal Terminal, iTerm, etc.
but what worked at the end is the following.
To do so, I experimented with different apps, scripts, etc. Long story short, I had to find a way to swap places, through software, between the key, right next to left Shift key, and the one right next to 1. I don’t have anything with the symbol but in my day to day it’s totally useless and I started missing my beloved symbol ( ~) which is so often used in coding. The problem is that even if you set the keyboard layout to US in MacOS when you hit the key next to 1, this symbol starts appearing §. In Greece we are using the US keyboard layout and that means that the tilde key (~) is placed next to number 1 at the top left corner of the key, like the following picture:Ībout a year ago we moved to Luxembourg and my old Macbook died, so I had to replace it with a new one that unfortunately has the German layout:
