EurKEY keyboard layout

EurKEY is a keyboard layout designed to serve the needs of users across Europe who also work with programming languages and translation tasks. It rearranges keys to provide convenient access to characters commonly required in many European languages while preserving familiar positions for standard Latin letters and punctuation. The layout includes dedicated shortcuts for frequently used symbols in coding, such as braces, brackets, and the pipe character, reducing the need for modifier combinations.

The layout targets developers, translators, and general users who type in multiple European scripts, offering a unified solution that minimizes the switching between language‑specific keyboards. By keeping essential symbols within easy reach, it aims to streamline workflows that involve both natural language text and source code.

EurKEY is distributed as a stable, macOS‑only utility, with its last update recorded on 15 May 2017. It is maintained by its original author and available for free, with an option to support the project through donations.
