EurKEY

The Keyboard Layout for Europeans, Coders and Translators
Ports and variants for Mac and Windows, based on EurKEY keyboard layout by Steffen Brüntjen

Mac variants

EurKEY.keylayout

Fork of Leonardo Brondani Schenkel's EurKEY, updated to v1.3 as designed by Steffen Brüntjen.
This version appears to be optimised for physical ANSI style keyboards.

EurKEY-iso.keylayout

For usage with ISO style physical keyboards. Swapped the § and Gravis keys (leftmost of number row and bottom row, key not available on ANSI keyboards).

EurKEY-iso-qwertz.keylayout

Swapped the Z and Y keys. For use in QWERTZ dominated places.

Windows variants

Windows seems to be less picky about the physical keyboard style. It has a bunch of other oddities, though. One being that keyboard layouts are associated with a locale (=language).

EurKEY.klc

DLL name: eurkey
Updated to version v1.3 as designed by Steffen Brüntjen, yet bugged: The dead key state shift + altGr + m does not work.

EurKEY-iso.klc

DLL name: eurkeyi
Like the Mac -iso version, this one is optimised for ISO style physical keyboards, i.e. the additional bottom left key produces §/±. This closer reflects the original US layout than the US-International.
Since altGr + iso-key is not defined, I made it \, inspired by the Swiss layout.

EurKEY-iso-qwertz.klc

DLL name: eurkezi
Swapped the Z and Y keys. For use in QWERTZ dominated places.

Installation

macOS

Copy the two files EurKEY.keylayout and EurKEY.icns to your library, either system-wide (/Library/Keyboard Layouts) or for your local user (~/Library/Keyboard Layouts). A system-wide installation is preferred though to ensure the layout is available to all applications. (See also this Superuser answer.)

Windows

Use Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator to build an installer from a .klc file.
I will not publish binary files.
