Bonus: Keyboard Layout Info 🔤
Curious how your keyboard will look? Here’s a sneak peek at the layout:
Basic Layout: Regular key arrangement for daily use.
Expert Layout (with Dead Keys): For the pros! 🧠 These keys help you type accents and diacritics.
Type bel Lebnéne!
And that’s it! You're now ready to type like a pro in Lebanese on your Mac! 🎉🌟
But beware of the apostrophe – it's a Dead Key, sacrificed for the greater good of the alphabet drama. 😵 When you press it, it won't do a thing... until you team it up with a vowel and select consonants. 🎩✨
