# Probhat Keyboard Layout for Mac OSX

Probhat is a widely popular keyboard layout for the Bangla (aka Bengali) language.

This project provides this layout as a Mac OS native keyboard layout bundle.

It is faithful to the scheme published at [ekushey.org][e] <sup>[🏛][w]</sup> with two variations:

- **Probhat (BD)**: BDT symbol (৳) on <kbd>SHIFT</kbd>+<kbd>4</kbd>
- **Probhat (IN)**: INR symbol (₹) on <kbd>SHIFT</kbd>+<kbd>4</kbd>

## Install

### With Homebrew

Run this command to install:

```bash
brew install --cask probhat-keyboard-layout
```

and this one to uninstall:

```shell
brew uninstall --cask probhat-keyboard-layout
```

### Manually

- Copy [`ProbhatKeyboardLayout.bundle`][p] to `~/Library/Keyboard Layouts/` (`~` means your home folder)
