makah-keyboard
This is the keyboard layout for physical keyboards:
Note: the exact key or keys represented by Alt depends upon the platform’s conventions:
- Either Alt or Option key is pressed (macOS)
- The right Alt or the right Option key is pressed (Windows)
- Ctrl and Alt are pressed simultaneously (Google Input Tools)
Choose ONE of the above options according to what is most common in the implementation platform.
Remapped key sequences
The following table lists keys and the output Unicode code points required for the Qʷi·qʷi·diččaq keyboard. The key sequences in this table override keys on an ANSI QWERTY keyboard layout.
When a key has a modifier, it means to press the key in addition to the modifier(s) in order to get the result.

Notes
- The ' outputs a combining character. This character, U+0313 combing comma above indicates a glottalized version of a modified consonant, e.g, k+' = ⟨k̓⟩.
- Both ⟨x̌⟩ and ⟨X̌⟩ do not have a single code point used to represent them; instead, a pair of code points is used, and thus, one keystroke should output two code points for both of these characters.
History
2008
An initial keyboard layout was created by Chris Harvey for Makah.
Late 2020
Using the previous layout as a basis, a modified layout was agreed upon by a collaboration of members from the Makah Language Program, the National Research Council, and Google Internationalization.
This layout was uploaded to the Makah Museum, and implemented in Google Input Tools.
June 2021
The keyboard was revised and uploaded to Keyman.
