UK extended, English NZ & Te Reo Extension

This extension provides a UK extended keyboard layout in Chrome OS. How to enable: after installing the extension, head over to chrome://settings/languages then add English (UK), and check the \"UK extended\" option. If the option does not show up, sign out once and retry the procedure. Switch keyboard layouts with Alt+Shift until you hit the UK extended keyboard (symbol: EN*).

This extension also provides a NZ English IME (macron accent available with right-alt+vowel), as well as a Te Reo IME.

By installing this item, you agree to the Google Terms of Service and Privacy Policy at https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/.

Known issue: if this stopped working after updating to M36 please see crbug.com/397143 for a workaround (Chrome OS 37+ should not be affected)

V1.1: fixed the \"not working as advertised issue\" (the internal name of the key changed in Chrome OS)

V2.0: Add NZ English and Te Reo

Albert deKoninck (ID: 0000002743c13ee2) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 03/21/2023 I like it very much, but since I use it mostly for French, I have a problem. This is what I get when I type `a, not a accent grave. The accent grave is broken. Please fix.

Mark Wightman (ID: 000000351e3bcd6a) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 09/20/2022 Anyone know how to type a macron with this extension? Is there a full guide to it anywhere?

System64MC (ID: 00000023eeb62fff) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 04/15/2021 It doesn't seem to work, it adds correctly but when I add it, it doesn't show up in the keyboards list.

Giovanni Casalini (ID: 00000020d70215d5) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/21/2020 it works

R F Kearns (ID: 000000756d2f0f2a) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 07/02/2020 It also does circumflex, umlaut, tilde and a bunch more. None of which is documented. Why do we have to depend on Wikipedia (QWERTY, United Kingdom, Chrome OS) for such essential information?
