  Latvian Apostrofs 2026.05.0 Stable

  claude released this 2026-05-10 00:46:34 +03:00 | 5 commits to main since this release

  First release of the modernized fork

  A Latvian keyboard layout for macOS that restores standard programmer-friendly key assignments (Shift+3 = #, Alt+4 = €) while keeping all Latvian characters accessible.

  Three install paths

  • PKG (system-wide, requires admin password). Download LatvianApostrofs-2026.05.0.pkg below, double-click, follow installer.
    • On macOS Tahoe (26.x), log out and back in after install for the layout to register in the Input Sources picker.
  • Homebrew Cask: brew tap ojars/pareizrakstiba https://git.kapteinis.lv/ojars/homebrew-pareizrakstiba && brew install --cask apostrofs
    • Same logout/login caveat applies.
  • install.sh (per-user, no admin needed). Recommended on macOS Tahoe — files land in ~/Library/Keyboard Layouts/ and are immediately available without logout. Clone the repo and run ./install.sh.

  Activate

  System Settings → Keyboard → Text Input → Edit… → click + → scroll to Others → add Latvian (apostrofs). Test in TextEdit: Shift+3 → #, Alt+4 → €.

  ⚠️ Before you uninstall — important

  macOS Tahoe (26.x) crashes the calling Terminal session with a SIGSEGV in HIToolbox TSMSelectInputSource → CFStringCompare(NULL) when a .keylayout file is removed while its layout is the currently-selected input source. This applies to every uninstall path — brew uninstall --cask --zap apostrofs, manual sudo rm "/Library/Keyboard Layouts/latvian_apostrofs.keylayout", and ./uninstall.sh. Reproduced live on 2026-05-09 (three Terminal crash reports captured the same day).

  Before any uninstall: click the menu-bar input-method indicator and switch to a different layout (e.g. ABC – Extended). Then run the uninstall command.

  The install.sh / uninstall.sh script in this repo enforces this check automatically (refuses to delete with exit 1 if Latvian (apostrofs) is still selected; pass --force to bypass). The Homebrew Cask in homebrew-pareizrakstiba does the same via an uninstall_preflight block. Manual sudo rm users — please switch input sources first; this isn't something a documentation file can prevent for you.

  Tested on

  macOS Tahoe 26.4.1 (arm64, M2 MacBook Air). The .keylayout XML format is unchanged since macOS 10.6, so earlier versions should also work but are no longer tested.
