I got a Macbook with German keyboard layout, and I am not accustomed to it. This post summarizes some tweaks made to German version of Macbook to make it work for me.
Add input source for US keyboard
Luckily I have also got a magic keyboard with US keyboard layout.
To use it, we need to add a new input source for it, go to keyboard section in system settings.
In Text Input --> Input Sources, click edit and then click + in the bottom left corner to add new keyboard.
Choose English, and then select a keyboard layout. For example, we can use ABC or US, they are more or less the same.
How to type special German characters easily
In the US keyboard, we can not type special German chars directly, but there are some shortcuts to input them.
- To type umlaut character, i.e.,
äöü. Press option key andutogether, release now, and then press the un-umlauted character to get its umlaut char. - To type
ß, simply press Option andsat the same time.
