MacBook Pro UK Keyboard Layout for Windows
I’ve imported my windows box into VirtualBox (howto) and noticed that the keyboard layout is all screwed up.
My Googling suggests that a German and Swedish bloke/bird/person have fixed this issue but no-one in the UK.
Attached is my UK Keyboard layout, also the source file so you can use microsoft keyboard layout creator to make your own.
To use, simply unzip, run setup, and then in your keyboard settings (control panel) change to “English UK – Apple MacBook Pro” … you may wish to remove the default UK keyboard to avoid confusion.
This works well for me in VirtualBox, I would expect it to work in VMWARE / Parallels but I’ve not tested it, as with everything I do YMMV

[...] and even the MacBook Pro UK keyboard: http://www.linickx.com/archives/2931/macbook-pro-uk-keyboard-layout [...]
I tried the above keyboard layout on my setup (Windows XP SP3 on VirtualBox 3.1.4 on Mac OS X 10.6.2 on a MacBookPro5,5 with a British keyboard) and I found the shifted (uppercase) letters missing (i.e. nothing happens if you press Shift-). I’ve created my own layout with the uppercase letters included which you can find at http://www.tty00.org/downloads/apple-uk.zip – source file is at http://www.tty00.org/downloads/apple-british.klc
Hi Scott,
Yeah I think the version I uploaded to the virtualbox site had that bug, the version here should work… anyhow… googlers have a choice now
