I type @ or $ or & or * way more often than I do 2, 4, 7 or 8.

Especially with () it is usually a bit more difficult to hit ⇧Shift 9 and immediately ⇧Shift + 0.

Can I somehow default the numeric keys to print the ⇧Shifted values by default, and print the digits when I actually use ⇧Shift?

This is not remapping of values, this is using the modifier key always for certain keys. This is not a duplicate, I do not want to use Ukelele for this.

  • Per your edit....no matter how you slice it, you're remapping the default action of the key. – Allan Nov 10 '18 at 01:29

    @Allan I am asking if it is possible to achieve this without remapping. Those targets are already there, I am asking if I can switch the secondary behaviour with first one for particular keys. – Koray Tugay Nov 10 '18 at 01:45
  • Why is remapping a problem for you? I could do this in ukelele in 5 minutes or less.. Never heard of a way to do what you are talking about. – Tom Gewecke Nov 10 '18 at 01:51

    @TomGewecke Ok, maybe it is not possible. But I think it is totally ok to ask if it is possible or not, isn 't it? If you are sure what I am asking is not possible, please simply provide an answer like: No there is no such way and let me accept it. – Koray Tugay Nov 10 '18 at 01:59
  • @KorayTugay. No. What you are asking is very much possible. It's called remapping a key. You can redefine it however you like to suit your tastes, but in the end, it's the exact same process as remapping a key. Therefore, it's a dupe. – Allan Nov 10 '18 at 02:22
  • @KorayTugay Ukelele is the normal way to do this. Here is one: https://www.dropbox.com/s/we6pz6m1sdxg39b/U.S.NumShift.keylayout.zip?dl=0 – Tom Gewecke Nov 10 '18 at 02:54
  • I think what you are asking is something like this defaults write -g com.apple.keyboard.fnState true which activates the Fn keys, I have not found one for the numbers – Ruskes Nov 10 '18 at 03:06

    @Allan It is said you are unable to understand. – Koray Tugay Nov 10 '18 at 14:26

    @Buscar웃 Yes, that is what I am looking for. – Koray Tugay Nov 10 '18 at 23:26
  • You can kind of do it if you swap your keyboard to French... but that will give you azerty too. – Tetsujin Nov 11 '18 at 11:08
  • @Tetsujin That is a very big side effect. :) – Koray Tugay Nov 11 '18 at 12:11
  • Yup, so you're back to Ukelele... – Tetsujin Nov 11 '18 at 12:15
