Keyboard Layout (Desktop)

Notes on desktop layout

  • ħ: type the ` key (next to the number 1).
  • λ: type the [ key. (Capital is not available in all fonts.)
  • ƛ: type the ] key. (Capital is not available.)
  • ɫ: type the \ key.
  • ʔ: hold ALT and type the / key.
    • NOTE: When using Google Docs with Google Chrome, ALT or OPTION + / is already used as a shortcut. ʔ can instead be typed ALT/OPTION + SHIFT + /
  • ǧ x̌:
    • Type g/x, then hold SHIFT and press 6 to add the extra ˇ mark.
    • OR hold ALT and type g/x.
  • ḷ ṃ ṇ:
    • Type l/m/n, then hold SHIFT and press . (period) to add the extra dot.
    • OR hold ALT and type l/m/n.
      Note: ALT+SHIFT+M is used in Keyman by default to open the Keyman menu, so this method cannot be used to type Ṃ. You must either use the first method, or go to Configuration < Hotkeys in the Keyman menu to remove that default.
  • p̓ t̓ a̓, etc: Type the letter you want, then hold SHIFT and press , (comma) to add the glottal.
  • á ú, à ù, etc:
    • Type the letter you want, then hold SHIFT and press - (hyphen) to add the ´ accent.
    • Type the letter you want, then hold ALT and press ` (next to the number 1) to add the ` accent.
  • For punctuation keys that were replaced with some other letter or accent, you can get the original symbol by pressing ALT. (Example: hold ALT and press \ to type \.)
