programmer-dvorak-normal-keypad

I like Roland Kaufmann's Programmer Dvorak keyboard layout however I dislike the fact that he reverses the direction of the numeric keypad. This is an installable solution that slightly backtracks from his improvements.

To get an idea, here is a comparison


Kaufman's original layout with "improved" keypad layout

My normal keypad version

If you prefer my version, continue on.

##How to use?

1. Go to the Releases section.
2. Download either the "English Singapore" or "English US" version relevant to your operating system Windows/Mac.
3. Unzip the file

###Windows 3) Run msi or setup.exe
4) Go to Control Panel -> Language
5) Select your language -> Option -> Add an input method
6) Search for Programmer Dvorak - Normal Keypad and Add. If the new layout is not visible, you may need to reboot your machine and start from Step 3.

###Mac 3) Copy the bundle file to /Library/Keyboard Layouts if you want it to be system wide or ~/Library/Keyboard Layouts if you only want it for the current user.
4) Go to System Preferences, Keyboard, Input Sources, click "+", select English, select Programmer Dvorak - Normal Keypad

###For Login Screen This above settings are only tied to your user account, to set it as the default for the login prompt, visit these links:
For Mac

The simplest option stated in the link above is to relauch the Setup Assistant:

1. Run sudo rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone in Terminal
2. Restart your Mac
3. Set your new keyboard layout when asked to do so
4. You will come to a point where you have to create a new user account. I just created a dummy account to prevent conflicts with my existing username.
5. Once you have logged in, you can delete the dummy account.

For Windows

Go to Control Panel: "Open "region" > then on the "administration" tab > click "copy settings" > then check the box "for home screen & new users"."

##How to modify?

If you need to modify the layout for some reason...

###Windows

1. Install the Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator
2. Open the .klc file you wish to modify. I can't seem to view the keypad in MKLC though.

You should see something like this:

3. Set current working directory
4. Once you are done, click Project->Build DLL and Setup Package.
5. Go to your working directory to retrieve the install folder

###Mac

1. Install Ukelele
2. Open the .keylayout file you wist to modify. You may wish to change the keyboard type to view the keypad. View -> Keyboard Type -> Third party.

You should see something like this:

3. Save as bundle
