We recently ported our SBBIC Khmer keyboard to Mac. We added a colon symbol (“:” with right ALT+L or OPTION+L on Mac) as well as a dash (“-” with right ALT+D or OPTION +D on Mac). The keyboard is based on the Khmer OS and NiDA keyboard.
1. Unzip the keyboard layout by either simply double clicking the zipped file or by using other software like StuffIt. Safari unzips automatically.
2. The keyboard will either have the extension .keylayout
3. In the Finder, choose Go > Computer or type Shift-Command-C. This opens up your account folder.
4. Expand the Macintosh HD item, then the Library item, scroll down to find Keyboard layouts.
5. Drag the keyboard layout you saved earlier into the Keyboard layouts list.
6. Log off the computer or restart it.
7. Open System Preferences > Language and Text. Click the Input Sources tab. Scroll down until you find Khmer SBBIC V2. Make sure the checkbox is selected. The layout is now ready to use.
8. To access the key layout, click on the flag at the top of your screen at the right hand corner, Select the keyboard layout from the list. Or type Command-Space to scroll through your language options.
9. The keyboard will be listed as Khmer SBBIC V2.
10. If you cannot find a letter, click on the flag at the top of your screen at the right hand corner, Select Show Keyboard Viewer

On Macs, normally you switch keyboard language by Command+Space Bar

how to make it works with Excel 2016 for mac?
What problem are you having in Excel?
I have OSX 10.12 I can you use it very well with default setting, but when I tried to design in Final Cut Pro or Adobe Premiere, I could still use it but it became improperly to write and read, whenever I tried to use for design something in Khmer, it could not be done properly, Can you guys help a bit about that? I have downloaded your files and I’ve got the same things happened.
Hi Sam,
Most likely it is a font issue. Photoshop can use Khmer Unicode fonts (not all, but some) but Premiere cannot. And I assume Final Cut Pro cannot, but I have not personally tested it. Best to do a graphic in Photoshop and import that into Premiere.
hi do u know which fonts that can full support for excel on Mac, i have excel 2016 and the latest IOS
You could try using the “Khmer Mondulkiri” font and see if that works – also normally fonts that begin with “Kh” (like “Kh Content”) work with Mac.

You can try using the font “Khmer Mondulkiri” and see if that solves your problem. But Microsoft has some issues with their automatic word breaking for Khmer that makes it useless. Try using LibreOffice instead.
I’ve had great success with this keyboard. However, when I tried to re-install it on a fresh install of MacOS, it won’t seem to work. It will install, then the next time I reboot, it disappears. Any advice?
Hmm, sorry, I’ve never had that issue…but it looks like others have https://discussions.apple.com/thread/8106521 – might be a corrupted user profile.

Use a Khmer font that starts with “KH” and it should work fine.
I has download but i don’t know how to install to my computer.
Can anyone tell me how to install?
You can find instructions here: https://sbbic.org/2010/07/07/khmer-unicode-keyboard-64-bit-and-32-bit-windows-mac-os-installer/
