    Good question. I’m not a Mac user but have contemplated the switch so I’m interested to see what options there are.

    Hi Scott. Unfortunately, I just use the regular Mac keyboard too and don’t have any suggestions. I feel like this is a good question for @blake so tagging him here!

    @tiberius I use the built-in macOS Accessibility Keyboard, albeit heavily modified. If you click the tiny ellipses button in the top-right corner of the keyboard panel, you will get a menu with numerous options for tweaking the keyboard—including a full blown keyboard panel editor which enables you to create just about any kind of keyboard you want.

    This is a little dated now, but here is a writeup about the modifications I made to mine:
