What It Is and Why

What It Is

This repository ships a macOS keyboard layout bundle:

  • root/pc-win-de-keyboard.bundle

Inside the bundle, German - PC.keylayout defines the full key mapping using Apple's keyboard layout XML format.

Why It Exists

When switching between Windows and macOS on German keyboards, special-character key positions often differ. This layout reduces muscle-memory breaks by keeping key positions close to German Windows-PC behavior.

Typical examples are braces and brackets:

  • { } [ ] | \\

Who It Helps

  • Developers switching daily between Windows and macOS
  • Users of external German PC keyboards on Macs
  • Teams that want a shared, auditable keyboard layout file
