If you’re used to typing with a Macintosh keyboard layout and enjoy being able to enter typographical quotes anywhere using alt-[, alt-shift-] for “…” and alt-shift-[ and alt-shift-] for ‘…’ and alt-; to enter a proper ellipsis (…), etc., download and install the us-mac.zip file from github.com/adunning/Mac-Keyboa and then choose it from Settings > Time & Language > Language > Keyboard.

(Because I’m testing on Windows at the moment and I don’t want to lose my sanity…)

Argh, Microsoft! Doesn't work in Windows 11. Apparently they've removed the keyboard section altogether and everything is lumped in under Settings > Time & language > Language & region > Preferred languages and they've likely changed the format or something.

So the above works for Windows 10 but not 11 at the moment.

@aral

You are using Windows ELEVEN??? 😮

Scrub everything and install Windows 10 if you have to use Windows. 11 is FUBAR.

@MaryPot I’m using Fedora Silverblue. I’m testing on multiple Linux distributions as well as Windows 10, 11, macOS Monterey and Ventura because folks are still using them so I’m forced to if I don’t want to leave them behind.

We’re building bridges. By definition, one foot of a bridge will be where you are and the other where you want to be.

@aral

I understand. It is really shameful that MS has left Win 11 out there. I know (since the DOS days) that MS like to use their customers for product testing operating systems, but 11 is so OTT bad.

You are doing a kindness for those trapped with Win 11 by trying to get something to actually work on it. 🙂
