![]() If you go to the system preferences and type in "language input" in the search field you'll get to the area where you can change the languages (and keyboards) with a keystroke (command-space bar, etc).I use the Sophokeys layout for minuscule greek ( ). ![]() I was able to use the quite functional Greek/Coptic font, Antinoou ( ) but keep the same key bindings as Sylvanus (at least for the most part). If I need to make or rework a keyboard layout, I use Ukulele ( ).It might be worth it to type hieroglyphs and cuneiform on an iPad, save it in Pages or something else, and send it to your Mac via Dropbox, etc.Īlso, see my post "Installing custom fonts and keyboards on iPad" atĪs to the other parts of this discussion about keyboard layouts, here's what I've found on the mac side of things: Keyman is available with the Egyptian (Ancient) Hieroglyphic keyboard, seeĪlso, Unicode Pad has the Unicode Glyphs for Egyptian Hieroglyphs and Cuneiform, see If you have an iPad, you can use Keyman and/or Unicode Pad for Egyptian and Akkadian. I wonder if there's one out there for Sumero-akkadian as well. Still, it's a very good thing that the layout is there in spite of compatibility issues. Thank you very much for the info! I did the exact same thing when I mapped my other keyboards because of the familiarity with Ezra SIL.Īnd I must say that the hieroglyph layout is exceptionally sophisticated - The guy who made this is a genuine craftsman! But if memory serves, Tavultesoft's Keyman Desktop doesn't work on Mac, though. With Yehudit they consistently appears on the left hand end of the line.ĭid you make a custom keyboard layout for all the hieroglyphs from scratch? If so, nicely done! I've been making a few myself for Ugaritic, Phoenician and Samaritan, but I haven't dared making layouts for syllabic cuneiform and hieroglyphs yet. And its worse if you use something like Cardo where the new characters appear on the right also. Regarding 2 if you mean that typing Hebrew text from a Hebrew keyboard doesn't place the cursor on the left where the characters appear that's true enough. I have never tried Hieroglyphics at all I'm afraid so I would have work to do there. I do not (yet) read Hebrew and while I have Hebrew keyboards set up I do not know if I can set the Windows lang to Hebrew. Item 2 and 4 are a bit hard for me to test. Item 5 would be handy as would the ability to begin typing the letters in a font name and have the menu relocate to that items beginning with those characters. Item 3 I can and logged a separate issue concerning it another issue in I would have assumed you used Unicode export also, but I note that your notes file seems to be using Yehudit in the first image which I believe is not Unicode. I'm using Cardo and I use Unicode export. I know it isn't a bug, but it takes a while to scroll through the fonts could you add a bar to click and hold so we could scroll through our font more quickly? I also can't type hieroglyphics in the notes like I can in MS Word, Libre Office, etc.ĥ. My Unicode Egyptian Hieroglyphic fonts do not copy and paste into the notes. If I choose TimesNewRoman, Stencil shows up, again, nine above TNR on my font list.Ĥ. If I scroll and choose a different font, I don't get the font I selected - e.g., I selected Ezra SIL, and Estranglo Talada showed up in the box (which is nine above Ezra SIL on my fonts list). If I change the Windows language to Hebrew, type a Hebrew word, and then the spacebar, the cursor goes to the right of the Hebrew word.ģ. If I select it and change to another Unicode font, it looks even worse see Screenshot 2.Ģ. If I copy from HMT-4 and paste it into a Note, it doesn't all display correctly see Screenshot 1. I just got Accordance 11, and found bugs with typing/copying Unicode Hebrew and Hieroglyphics in the Notes.ġ.
