Ukrainian keyboard layout in Mac OS X Lion

    imageGood afternoon, Habrauser.
    I don’t know how anyone, but I really liked Mac OS Lion right away. But on the very first day, a tar spoon was thrown into a barrel of honey. The Ukrainian keyboard layout was somehow wrong (from my point of view, as I got used to another.) The

    huge minus of the standard Ukrainian layout in Lion is that the letters “I” and “I” are interchanged and the punctuation marks are on the numbers 6, 7, 8. And I'm used to the PC-shnoy layout. I started looking for keyboard editors for Lion - so I did not find anything. And google did not give anything intelligible on this topic. Then I decided to experiment. Under the cut, the result of the experiment and the solution of the problem.


    And the box opened simply - in the folder / Users / {Username} / Library / Keyboard Layouts / you need to copy two files from the previous Mac OS 10.6 system with the Ukrainian layout.
    After that, in the Settings-> Language and text-> Input Sources, another layout “Ukrainian” appears, select it - and enjoy.
    Here are these two files.

    I hope the solution will be useful.
