Custom Cyrillic keyboard layouts for macOS

This repository contains customized Cyrillic/ Russian transliteration keyboard layouts for ISO and ANSI physical keyboards, for use on macOS.

It started from the fact that I didn't know how to touch-type in Russian and ocasionally used Nordic (ISO) and US (ANSI) physical keyboards.

Features

  • Both layouts mostly follow "ГОСТ 16876-71" as implemented on e.g. Translit web-site.

  • Layouts were modified to allow entering Cyrillic/ Russian symbols on both standard ANSI and Nordic (Finnish/ Swedish) ISO keyboards.

    • "ch" -> "ч"
    • "zh" -> "ж"
    • "sh" -> "ш"
    • "shh" -> "щ"
    • "j" -> "й"
    • "je" -> "э"
    • "jo" -> "ё"
    • "ju" -> "ю"
    • "jа" -> "я"
  • Keymap

    • ANSI RU-us_translit.png
    • Nordic ISO RU-fi_translit.png
  • Each layout has a corresponding icon with double flags.

  • Standard macOS shortcuts (like ⌘-c) work correctly

  • Tested on macOS Big Sur and Ventura

Installation
