Probhat Keyboard Layout for Mac OSX

This project provides the Probhat keyboard layout as a Mac OS native bundle. Probhat is one of the most popular keyboard layouts for the Bangla (aka Bengali) language.

This is faithful to the scheme published at ekushey.org ^🏛 with two variations:

• Probhat (BD): BDT symbol (৳) on SHIFT+4
• Probhat (IN): INR symbol (₹) on SHIFT+4

Install

With Homebrew

Run this command to install:

brew install --cask bdeshi/taps/probhat-keyboard-layout

and this one to uninstall:

brew uninstall --cask bdeshi/taps/probhat-keyboard-layout

Without Homebrew

Download and open a source archive of this project from the Releases page, and copy ProbhatKeyboardLayout.bundle to ~/Library/Keyboard Layouts/ (~ means your home folder).

To uninstall, remove ProbhatKeyboardLayout.bundle from ~/Library/Keyboard Layouts/.

Usage

These directions may differ slightly across Mac OS versions.

Go to System Settings > Keyboard, add Probhat (BD) or Probhat (IN) in the Input Sources section.

Find or set the keyboard shortcut for cycling layouts in System Settings > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts > Input Sources.

Layouts can be cycled from the menu bar as well by enabling the input menu item.

Issues

Please report issues or feature requests on github (or gitea).
