I’ve a Macbook Air with the everyday US keyboard structure printed within the keys, however I need to use the keyboard as if it had been a Spanish keyboard as a result of I am accustomed to that structure and since I do not have a look at the keys whereas typing I do not thoughts the structure not matching the characters really printed within the keys.
The structure of my keyboard seems precisely like this:
I’ve configured the keyboard to behave as if it had been an Spanish one, by going to Preferences > Keyboard > Enter Sources and including the “Español – ISO” structure.
That works fantastic, largely, with one exception: The important thing on the left of the highest “1” key (with the printed characters “`~”) does not behave the identical as the important thing in the identical place in a Spanish keyboard, even after configuring the “Español – ISO” structure.
As a substitute of the important thing being “ºª”, which is the important thing on the left of “1” within the Spanish keyboard, it behaves as a “<>≤” key. Why is that?
So, since that is taking place, I am unable to use these symbols (“ºª”), of which I miss the backslash probably the most. How can I get the backslash with this structure with out having to modify to US keyboard simply to get the backslash character (beneath the “delete” key), after which switching again to Spanish structure? (which is a cumbersome course of simply to get a single character every time).
Edit: I believe the issue is that the Spanish keyboard really has an additional key that the US keyboard lacks (please observe that the Left Shift secret is shorter within the Spanish keyboard to accomodate the additional “<>≤” key).
It appears that evidently, for some purpose, the important thing on the left of the “1” key is definitely moved (together with its keycode) all the way down to the best of the Left Shift key in European keyboards, and a totally new key with a brand new key code replaces the important thing on the left of the “1” (within the Spanish keyboard it’s “ºª”, whereas in different European languages it is a completely different set of symbols however the important thing code stays the identical), so with a US keyboard I am unable to actually have the total Spanish structure due to the lacking key.
