Modern English Fuþorc Runes Keyboard Layouts | ᛗᚩᛞᛟᚱᚾ᛫ᛁᚾᚸᛚᛁᛋᚳ᛫ᚠᚢᚦᚩᚱᚳ᛫ᚱᚢᚾᛋ᛫ᛣᛇᛒᚩᚱᛞ᛫ᛚᛖᛡᚣᛏᛋ

This is my personal keyboard layout I use for writing Modern English Fuþorc Runes based on Rune Revival. It is created with Kalamine. You can see how the layout looks in the layout.toml file; the way Kalamine is laid out means it is visually readable / translatable to what keys are what characters.

Important

The Comma , key has been replaced with a Zero-width-joiner ZWJ; this can be placed inbetween runes to create bindrunes (in supported fonts). So, to create the ᚠᚠ bindrune, you would type f,f whilst using the runic keyboard layout.

Installation | ᛁᚾᛥᛟᛚᛚᛖᛡᛋᚳᛟᚾ

To install the layouts, see the relevant section at Kalamine's docs. Download the relevant files from the releases page. (AHK for Windows; couldn't get KLC to build, Keylayout for MacOS, XKB Keymap or XKB Symbols for Linux-based distros, and JSon for Web).

Alternative | ᚪᛚᛏᛟᚱᚾᛟᛏᛁᚠᚠ

If you do not wish to use this, then there is also the Runeboard by Rune Revival for Keyman.

The Runes | ᚦᛟ᛫ᚱᚢᚾᛋ

These are the names I personally call the runes (and just a list of sounds) to make it easier to remember in a Modern English context, but also preserving some of the historical meanings.
