Keyboard Pilot

~ Put your keyboard on autopilot

Do you find yourself wanting different keyboard layouts for different applications all the time? If so, Keyboard Pilot might just have saved your day, or at least a whole lot of time and effort!

The Problem

There are plenty of us computer users who need to use different keyboard layouts for different situations and applications, for example:

• Non-English photoshoppers who prefer to use the keyboard shortcuts as they were meant to (requires English layout)
• Non-English developers who like the easier access to symbols like [ ] { } in an English layout
• Multilingual users who need to switch layouts often since they switch the language used at the moment

The Solution

Keyboard Pilot makes the switching completely transparent by changing layouts automatically when the active application changes. After setting up the pilot, you will never have to think about the layout again.

And There's More: Function Keys

Keyboard pilot can also control whether the function keys are used for the special features printed on each key, or as F1, F2, etc. This can be very useful for applications that use the function keys extensively, while still letting you access the special features like Dashboard, Exposé and the media keys easily when not using those apps. Games and virtual machines running other operation systems come to mind!

Keyboard Pilot Is For You If...

• ... you often switch between different keyboard layouts
• ... keyboard shortcuts work much better in a different layout than your native one
• ... you have at least Mac OS X 10.6.6 Snow Leopard installed on your Mac

Keyboard Pilot is available on the App Store.
