Kyrgyz keyboard layout for macOS. Layout was inspired by Ubuntu's one.

Kyrgyz keyboard layout comes by default with Ubuntu-based systems. However it is not available by default for macOS. Here is a keyboard layout for you to install and be able to use 3 Kyrgyz-language specific (ү, ө, ң) characters. The rest of the keyboard is same as the Russian one (except ё is now on ~ key (left from 1)).

How to install

1. Download kyrgyz-layout-for-mac-ubuntu-inspired-master.zip to your computer.
2. Unpack the zip file.
3. Navigate to newly created kyrgyz-layout-for-mac-ubuntu-inspired-master folder and copy KyrgyzLayout.bundle to ~/Library/Keyboard Layouts/. In order to do this, go to Finder, hit Shift + Command + g simultaneously (you don't have to click on + sign, though) and enter ~/Library/Keyboard Layouts/ to the given input field. You'll be brought to Keyboard Layouts folder, where you should paste KyrgyzLayout.bundle

If you are familiar with git you can run following lines to download and move files.

git clone https://github.com/jumasheff/kyrgyz-layout-for-mac-ubuntu-inspired.git
cd kyrgyz-layout-for-mac-ubuntu-inspired/
sudo cp KyrgyzLayout.bundle /Library/Keyboard\ Layouts/
