Turkish Keyboard Layout

Turkish Keyboard Layout on macOS named Türk OK!

As you see this layout has several extra letters. The alphabet of Türk OK! has no new characters but instead a whole new layout. On the one hand it is following the international layout as far as possible. On the other hand İ and I are switched because of a simple reason: typing is mostly done in lower case so in lower case the internationally used i will appear instead of ı. I assume the original Turkish layout was chosen to minimize expenditure in production. Last but not least the ergonomical aspect: following the international layout will make it easy to switch between various layouts.
