It is, I regularly switch between american and Spanish layout on
my Pismo under OS X.
This said, the Spanish keyboard layouts for Macs have errors, especially
the X ones are unusable as is. Whom should I contact to send better ones
I have created?
Note that my keymaps may not suit every Spanish user still, but are a
better starting point. They still have a few issues:
1) I wanted the same layout under OS X and Linux if possible
2) I have a few additional key mappings because I sometimes have to
type in French
3) Apple's laptop keyboards switched from having two Alt and one
Command/Apple keys to one Alt and two Command/Apple. OS X uses
Alt to give access to the 3rd/4th symbol, that's fine on the Pismo,
maybe I'll have to swap them if I buy a new machine. I really need
the 3rd/4th symbol more often than the command key, for
\|@#[]{}~«»æœÆŒ€, but see 1) and 5).
4) I'd like to remap the stupid enter key on the bottom row
to something else.
5) personal tastes (can't argue about it)
