I wanted to know how to make a screencast, so I decided to try to make one on a topic that many people have been asking me about recently: how to type in Lithuanian on their fancy new Apple computers:
Enabling Lithuanian (or other Euro) typing on the Mac
from Moacir P. de Sá Pereira on Vimeo.
There are two ways to do it. The first is by using the Lithuanian keyboard layout. Though I disparage it in the screencast, it might be the way I’d go if I was writing anything of substantial length in Lithuanian (It doesn’t take that long to get used to the lack of numbers, for example). If I ever write anything lengthy in Spanish, after all, I use the Spanish layout.
But since I hardly ever write anything of length in Lithuanian, using the US Extended layour is just right for me, and that’s the lesson of the video.
