About:
Keyman is a comprehensive keyboard customization tool that allows users to create, modify, and deploy custom keyboard layouts for typing in diverse languages and scripts. It provides robust support for complex scripts, enabling users to switch between different language inputs seamlessly. This tool is essential for linguists, developers, and multilingual users needing precise control over keyboard input methods.
Key Features:
  • Custom keyboard layout creation and editing
  • Support for complex scripts and right-to-left languages
  • Cloud-based keyboard distribution and synchronization
  • Compatibility with macOS, Windows, iOS, and Android
  • Visual keyboard testing and debugging tools
Use Cases:
  • Creating custom keyboards for endangered or minority languages
  • Developing input methods for specialized technical or academic fields
  • Enabling multilingual typing workflows for international teams
Alternatives:
  • Karabiner-Elements – More focused on general key remapping rather than full language-specific keyboard layout creation
  • Ukelele – macOS-specific keyboard layout editor with limited cross-platform distribution features
