Question

How do I get the exact keyboard layout from a YouTube video on Mac?

Hey, I am searching for this keyboard layout exactly, this is the layout from minute 6:15 of this youtube video

I am using a macOS 15.4.1 on a mac studio.

this is the current Australian layout I see (same as ABC)

when I log in from a USA based IP and search for a keyboard, the first 3 keyboards that show up are the exact match to the top example

Is it possible to get a fix for that? (as it seems it was ok at some point, but got broken)

Mac Studio, macOS 15.4

Hmmm, just tried it on my Mac, works fine in Australian, ABC, ABC Extended.

Does Option+5 give you §?

Does Option+z give you ~?

Good wirk my friend.

Just to make sure...

In Disk Utility>View, select Show all Devices, highlight the top left entry.

Run Disk First Aid on all items in the left panel, from top down.

I can't use a tilda and a backtick because instead to the top left there is § and ±.

for my keyboard (And the 4 examples in the pictures), there is no button to the left of z whichwould probably contain both tilda and backtick according to what mac shows it thinks my keyboard layout is

option + 5 gives me ∞

option + z gives me Ω

there is no "option +" combination in my keyboard that results in either a backtick or a tilda.

for you the layout shows the § in top left?

Have you installed any MS or Adobe fonts ever?

Have you run Fontbook ^&Validated all fonts?
