Positioning and key structure (of the buttons) on a keyboard It is made in the position of the country where the respective device or keyboard will be sold, if we talk about an external and not that of a laptop or macbook.
The order of arrangement of characters and give their type layout keyboard. You've probably noticed if you were looking to Buy a MacBook, that in the Techni specifications it is passed and "Keyboard Layout RO"(Romania) or"Keyboard Layout INT” (International).
The differences between the two keypads, Int and ro are obvious. On "keyboard layout RO"We will find next to the set of letters of Latin alphabet and letters with diacritical. Ș, Ţ, ă, Î, â â… they will be found on separate keys from the basic ones as well as in close combinations.
On the devices dedicated to the Romanian market, the deposition of keys with the letters of the Latin alphabet is identical to the International and US layout. In technical terms these keyboards are called "QWERTY"AZERTY", Plus you will meet Modified and the position of the keys "M", "W" and others. In addition, not even the special characters "#$@! $" Are not in their place. On the "2" key for example, when we press “Shift” + “2” will be written character “@” On a layout int keyboard, while one with layout fr will be the "é" character.
In other countries we meet the keyboards ”QWERTZ", Where the" z "and" y "keys are reversed between them.
Fortunately if you have bought a MacBook from another country And he has the tattoo on an unfamiliar layout, You can change both key functions Special and put the internationed layout as well as the physical button (keys).
How we change the order on the keyboard of the physical key of the MacBook Pro / MacBook
First you need fingers or a plastic screwdriver. You will need a little courage. It is an operation that seems risky for many, but if done carefully, nothing serious can happen. The buttons of a keyboard can be removed if you carefully pull them from the bottom up. Put a thin plastic screw (do not damage the surface between the keys) under the key and pull up with a sufficient force as it comes from the clamping system.
In the image below you see exactly how a key from a MacBook keyboard can be removed.
After the key is removed, you will notice that it is composed of two parts. The mechanism of clamping and the key itself. If this mechanism has not been removed and only the upper part of the key has come out, you do not need to remove it to replace the position of the buttons on the keyboard.
To place the key or where you want to move it, place the key over its place and press until you hear a click. Sign that this is now in the clamping mechanism.
In this way I changed the keys to a MacBook Pro bought in France.
Of course, you can remove all the keys, including "Space“, “Enter“, “Shift". Etc, if a need for a Cleaning the space beneath them. It is even advisable to do this at least once a year if you operate MacBook in a dusty environment or other impurities in ASER.
After you physically change the order of the keys go to "System Preferences” → “Keyboard” → “Input Sources"And change the new Layout from the list available on the left side. If you are not available.
On the online ads you will find for sale and full MacBook, MacBook Air or MacBook, but be very careful to be exactly for your model Apple has changed. key architecture, and a key of MacBook Pro 2017 will not fit on a MacBook Pro Mid 2012.
Thank you!
