Mac Typography Layout

This layout lets you to enter characters usually unavailable on a keyboard with unusual ease. This layout is based on Ilia Birman's typography layout but it has some modifications:

  1. It works well on Macs with US keyboards and International English ones.
  2. It has all punctuation signs where they are engraved on a keyboard when you type in Russian.
  3. It has Eszett (ß) at Alt+b.
  4. It has Russian Rouble sign (₷) at Alt+h.

Installation

  1. Copy all files to /Library/Keyboard Layouts.
  2. Go to System Preferences → Language & Text → Input Sources.
  3. Enable "English — Typography", or "Russian — Typography", or both.

Layout starts working in each app after app is restarted.
