FOR THE KEYBOARD LAYOUT: DO YOU CHOOSE ABC EXTENDED OR U.S. ?

You should use US or ABC. ABC is just the same as US but you don't have an American flag. Some users outside the US may find that preferable.

ABC-Extended (formerly called US Extended) is much like US or ABC, but it lets you type a whole lot more accented characters via option key shortcuts. If you have a need to type Chinese pinyin with tone marks, then ABC-Extended is the one to pick.

The US keyboard is based on QWERTY, the standard keyboard setup in the US. You can't go wrong. I'll be honest and tell you I don't know/have never used the ABC keyboard setup, but it can't be more "accurate" than the QWERTY setup, which is what we all use here in the US (it doesn't matter what country you're typing in, you still use the the same US keyboard to create US/American/English numbers/letters/characters).

Hi,

If you're in the US, US.

You're welcome. 🙂

Can I delete the US Keyboard, use the ABC - extended and re-install US keyboard if needs be?
