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

if this is useful to you, feel free to add a github star, thanks!

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).

Usage

These directions may differ slightly across Mac OS versions.
