I also use a QWERTY keyboard and I use a custom keyboard layout that maps alt-a to ä, alt-u to ü, alt-o to ö, alt-s to ß (plus the same for uppercase for the first 3). That works well for me without the need to post-process. On macOS it's relatively easy to create using a tool called Ukulele (https://software.sil.org/ukelele/). You can also download my layout here: https://alex.kirk.at/USUmlaut.keylayout. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

I’ve always set up a custom keyboard for exactly that! () on their own keys, [] on shift and {} above 0 and 9. It always struck me as the most natural alignment for prose and programming. Thankfully between Ukelele [0] and MSKLC [1] it’s pleasantly simple to do [0] for macOS: https://software.sil.org/ukelele/. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

Hey everyone, I have created a custom layout with Ukelele and everything works great except that the icon for my custom layout is narrower for some reason, in comparison to the default layouts. I tried everything, but I can't make it normal size. Source: 9 months ago

They could have used the SIL Open Font License instead. People in the open source world are often already familiar with it, and resources like tl;dr Legal are available for it. Their EULA is, in fact almost exactly the SIL Open Font License, but someone decided minor changes in wording were more valuable than standardization. https://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?item_id=OFL_web... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

I have a 49 inch CRG9 and the best recommendation for window management is Yabai (https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai). Yabai is a greedy window management solution that tries to fit opened applications in given space and skhd let's you easily jump between those using keyboard shortcuts. This has massively improved my ultrawide experience. Only disclaimer is, configuring yabai has a slight learning curve. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

SIP is a feature that protects you from malicious actors with root (admin) access on your device. After they've encrypted your photos and drives and changed your passwords, it prevents them from making your machine unbootable by deleting or altering system binaries. As a side effect of this protection, you give up certain freedoms to customize your system. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

This is disproven by the fact that Yabai [1] can instantly swap spaces with SIP disabled. [1] https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai. - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago

I feel the same way. I would much prefer no animation at all, and an instant transition to another space. Apparently this is possible with [yabai](https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai), but it requires disabling system integrity protection which I am personally uncomfortable with. - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago
