FAQ.

As usual: Shift+Alt on Windows, Ctrl+Space on macOS, Super+Space on Linux. The new alphabet sits alongside your other languages.

Yes. Right Alt (Option on macOS) gives you the original c, w, [ ] and ', so you can still type the old apostrophe spelling.

There's no phone keyboard yet. Add Turkish to Gboard or the iPhone keyboard and ö, ş, ç, ğ get their own keys.

With the converter installed, the text in the field you're typing in (or the selected part) converts to the new alphabet: o'g'il → öğil, Cyrillic too. Your clipboard stays as it was.

The app isn't registered with Apple's paid developer program, so macOS blocks the first launch. Go to System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll down and click «Open Anyway» — you only do this once. Then click «Ruxsat beriş» in the window that opens.

The keyboard layout doesn't run in the background. The converter only watches for Shift presses. Neither connects to the internet or collects any data.
