This is the only thing I like about Apple keyboards.
For programming, their layout is so different than standard keyboards, it's horrifying (I'm talking about the AZERTY ones, don't really know about the QWERTYs) : for example
-_(){}[]*`!+= characters are on different keys.
Also, are standard keyboard still recognized as apple keyboards if you plug them on a mac ?
- MBCook 4y agoYep. If you plug a standard keyboard in it works almost perfectly. The only oddity is the Option and Command keys are swapped. They map to Alt and Windows, but should be Windows and Alt. Trivial to fix it in the keyboard Pref Pane. Otherwise you’re 100% golden.
- ed312 4y agoWhen you plug a new one in, you have the option to run through a "layout detection" process. Typically it asks you to press the keys directly adjacent to the "shift" keys and goes from there. Also, IME, there is not a "mac" keyboard on a hardware level - the key directly to the left of the space is alt on Windows or Command on OSX.
