This site has keyboard definitions for Windows XP/2000 that allow the macron characters (ā, ē, ī, ō, ū etc.) of written Māori to be typed on a standard keyboard.
These keyboard definitions are completely free to download and use, and available to anyone.
Please let me know if you find these useful, or have any other feedback.
If you already know what you want, go straight to the Downloads page.
If you've never seen a keyboard layout before or aren't sure what to do:
- Start at Overview and Keyboard Layouts to learn what a keyboard layout is.
- Download the keyboard definition you want.
- Follow the Setup Instructions to install and configure your keyboard definition.
If you're really lost, I recommend that you use the New Zealand Māori (Alt) Keyboard Layout.
