Homestuck Keyboard Layouts for Mac
I have several keyboard layouts here that I made to imitate troll quirks without having to use a generator or stick only to MSPARP or Pesterchum! As far as I know, these only work on a Mac, and these instructions are for OS X 10.6.
- Unarchive the .zip file in your Library/Keyboard Layouts folder
- Open System Preferences and go to Language & Text.
- The layouts are unnamed (I have yet to figure out how to name them) but they will be a long list of “U.S.” keyboard layouts, accompanied by a generic keyboard icon.
- Check all the boxes; you will find your keyboard layout options on the bar at the top of your screen, between your volume and date/time display.
As a warning you may need to restart the program you want to type after adding the layouts. I have found Skype and AIM will not let you type in them after adding a layout until they are restarted.
QUIRKS INCLUDED:
- Aradia: 0’s for o, can be used for dead!Sollux
- Sollux: ii and 2, have yet to see if I can replace to/too with two
- Terezi/Latula: aie/AIE=413
- Vriska(/Aranea?): b/B=8, also typing the : key (shift+;) produces :::: automatically
- Equius: x=% and typing shift+> produces D –> automatically
- Eridan: ww and vv
- Feferi: h=)( and shift+e produces -E (up to you to add more hyphens)
- Rufioh: i=1
- Mituna: A=4, E=3, I=1, O=0, S=5, T=7
- Kankri: b/B=6, o/O=9
- Porrim: O/o/0 all have a + appended (i.e. O+, o+, 0+)
- Cronus: w produces wv, and v produces vw; capital B produces 8
Not all layouts are mapped to both capitals and lowercase!!!
(I may add Nektan’s quirk at a later date.)
