Armenian Phonetic Keyboard Layout

Armenian phonetic keyboard layout for Mac OSX.

This project was initiated as an alternative keyboard layout for those who have an experience of working with Armenian Phonetic layout in Windows/Linux. It basically is created from scratch using Ukelele tool on Mac for editing keyboard layouts. It is hosted on Github page. Please feel free to file bugs right on Github. I'll do my best to address them as quickly as possible.

Below are brief instructions on the layout set-up.

Included Layouts

• Armenian Phonetic - Regular phonetic layout where key "R" types "ր".
• Armenian Phonetic (KDWin) - Exactly the same layout as in KDWin.
• Armenian Phonetic With English - Option key changes the keys to English in place of special characters.
• Armenian Phonetic (KDWin) With English - KDWin phonetic layout with Option key feature.

How To Install

1. Download ArmenianPhonetic.dmg file from the releases section.
2. Drag the ArmenianPhonetic.bundle file to the Keyboard Layouts folder.
3. The system will ask you to authenticate, as the directory requires super user access.
4. The layouts should appear in the Language & Text (or System Preferences > Keyboard > Input Sources) preferences section. In case they didn't, simply log out and log back in, so that the OS reloads the layouts.

Manual Install

1. Download the files (ArmenianPhonetic.keylayout,ArmenianPhonetic.icns and ArmenianPhonetic.bundle).
2. Copy them to /Library/Keyboard Layouts/ directory (you will need to be a super user).
3. Log out and log back in.
4. Go to Language & Text (or System Preferences > Keyboard > Input Sources) preferences and check the Armenian - Phonetic check-box.
