#  MacOS `enHU` keyboard layout

This is a customised keyboard layout file (created with [Ukelele](https://github.com/sillsdev/Ukelele) for **MacOS**, based on the original _English ABC_ layout but customised to support the 🇭🇺 Hungarian language.

> [!IMPORTANT]

> The primary base language of the keyboard layout is still **English**, which makes it sufficient mostly for programming, but can be daunting if the user's _`huHU`_ layout experience is overwhelming the _`enUS`_ or _`enGB`_ ones.

## How to install?

1. `sudo cp ./English\ Keyboard\ with\ Hungarian\ Accents.bundle /Library/Keyboard\ Layouts/`

2. Log out and log back in, or restart the computer.

3. If the first time installing (i.e., not installing an _update_), add the layout in _System Settings_ → _Keyboard_.

## Features over _`enABC`_

### `ő` and `ű`

A new dead key, ⌥ Option (⎇ Alt) + y produces the `˝` symbol, which, when combined with o or u, produces `ő` and `ű`, respectively.

Similarly, combining the dead key with the upper-case `O` and `U` produces `Ő` and `Ű`.

### `×` (_"times"_ sign)

The keybind for [`×`](https://www.compart.com/en/unicode/U+00D7) (not `x`!) is present as ⇮ AltGr + ú (]) on PC keyboards, but this symbol is completely missing from the Mac.

A custom keybind, ⌥ Option (⎇ Alt) + ⇧ Shift + ~ (the key directly below the ⎋ Esc key on the _`enUS`_ layout), produces this symbol.

### Arrow symbols

In order to type the symbols representing the arrow keys, the following keybinds are available:

 * ⌃ Control + ⌥ Option (⎇ Alt) + ⇧ Shift + w produces `↑`

 * ⌃ Control + ⌥ Option (⎇ Alt) + ⇧ Shift + a produces `←`

 * ⌃ Control + ⌥ Option (⎇ Alt) + ⇧ Shift + s produces `↓`

 * ⌃ Control + ⌥ Option (⎇ Alt) + ⇧ Shift + d produces `→`

# Other keyboard layouts for 🇭🇺 _`huHU`_

Creating a tractable experience for typing on a Mac was hard to come by, so here is given respect to others who created layouts better than the "official" one.

These layouts are primarily for the exact or best-effort matching of the real Hungarian keyboard layout.
