homebrew-pareizrakstiba

Homebrew tap for two Latvian-language tools for macOS.

Cask What it does Source
pareizrakstiba Latvian spell-checker (system-wide NSSpellServer) https://git.kapteinis.lv/ojars/latvian-spell-checker
apostrofs Latvian keyboard layout (Shift+3=#, Alt+4=) https://git.kapteinis.lv/ojars/latvian-apostrofs

Add the tap

brew tap ojars/pareizrakstiba https://git.kapteinis.lv/ojars/homebrew-pareizrakstiba

Pareizrakstība — Latvian spell-checker

brew install --cask pareizrakstiba

The Cask installs the .service bundle to ~/Library/Services/Pareizrakstiba.service (per-user), removes the macOS download-quarantine attribute, and flushes the pasteboard service registry.

Activate Latvian spell-check

In any Cocoa application (TextEdit, Mail, Pages, Notes, etc.):

Edit → Spelling and Grammar → Show Spelling and Grammar, then in the Language dropdown at the bottom, pick Latviešu (Pareizrakstiba).

Learned words are stored at ~/Library/Spelling/lv per user.

Uninstall

brew uninstall --cask pareizrakstiba
# or, to also remove learned words:
brew uninstall --cask --zap pareizrakstiba

Alternative: PKG installer (system-wide)

If you prefer a system-wide install (/Library/Services/) for all users on the machine, download Pareizrakstiba-<version>.pkg from the Forgejo releases page and double-click. This requires admin password (one Gatekeeper warning the first time).

Apostrofs — Latvian keyboard layout

brew install --cask apostrofs

The Cask runs the system-wide PKG installer: places latvian_apostrofs.keylayout + latvian_apostrofs.icns in /Library/Keyboard Layouts/ (admin password required, one Gatekeeper warning the first time).

Activate

System Settings → Keyboard → Text Input → Edit…, click +, scroll to Others, add Latvian (apostrofs). (Latvian-localized macOS: Sistēmas iestatījumi → Klaviatūra → Teksta ievade → Rediģēt…)

Log out and back in if it doesn't appear immediately.

Verify

Switch to Latvian (apostrofs) in the menu-bar input picker, open TextEdit, type:

  • Shift+3 → should produce # (not £)
  • Alt+4 → should produce

Uninstall

brew uninstall --cask apostrofs

Then remove Latvian (apostrofs) from System Settings → Keyboard → Text Input → Edit….
