Mac UK International Keyboard Layout for Windows

This layout is designed for Windows to work with the Mac UK International Keyboard.

Infos

  • Apples options key (alt) is mapped to Ctrl + Alt.
  • Print screen action defaults to F15
  • Eject key has no function
  • Multimedia keys are not working (fn has no function)

Install

Basic layout functions

Run setup.exe from the bin dir.

Possibly outdated infos

Print screen and Pause/Break keys

By default the print screen key is mapped to F14 (instead of F13) and the Pause/Break key to F15 (instead of F14). To change this create the following registry entry:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout]
"Scancode Map"=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,03,00,00,00,37,e0,64,00,1d,e1,46,00,\
00,00,00,00

It will reassign the key codes (written in little endian format) to the correct keys.

Multimedia keys

So far I only managed to get three of the multimedia keys working: Rewind, Play/Pause and Fast Forward. Their functions become available after installing Apples Bootcamp drivers. Especially WindowsSupport\Drivers\Apple\AppleKeyboardInstaller.exe (or WindowsSupport\Drivers\Apple\x64\AppleKeyboardInstaller64.exe, respectively). If successful the multimedia functions will be the default assignment and the F# keys can be accessed by pressing Fn + F#. To invert this behaviour set the following registry entries to zero (0x00):

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\KeyMagic\OSXFnBehavior
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\KeyMagic\OSXFnBehavior
