This is an improvement of the Russian keyboard layout that comes with the Apple Russian script.
• The unshifted and shifted keyboard layouts have not been altered — it is still compatible with the Apple Russian hardware keyboards.
• Key combinations with option and option-shift have been altered so that all Cyrillic letters in the Apple Cyrillic fonts are accessible from the keyboard.
• The layouts have been made more logical so that lower and upper case versions of non-Russian Cyrillic letters appear on the same key with option and option-shift held down respectively, usually the same key as the closest Russian letter.
The name of the file looks funny, it is ‘Russian’ written in Russian. Don't change it. If the Russian script is installed it will be displayed correctly in the keyboard menu.
N.B.: Since this layout should replace the existing one, you have to copy it to your System file using ResEdit and say yes to the question about replacing the resource with the same ID. If you drag it to the System folder the system will give it a unique ID and you will get two Russian keyboard layouts in the keyboard menu.
Requires: Apple Cyrillic script and fonts (available via ftp from apple). See my software page http://www.tsl.uu.se/~ellert/software.html for more information.
