This keyboard layout provides a Norwegian Dvorak keyboard layout that provides extended Unicode characters and modifier keys similar to the Norwegian QWERTY keyboard layout shipped with OS X.
Beginning with version 10.2 (Jaguar), Mac OS X started supporting the XML-based format for keyboard layouts (.keylayout files) which is provided here, and OS X 10.5 (Leopard) discontinued support for the old Keyboard Suitcase (resource file) keyboard layout format.

Recent Apple keyboards are easy to rearrange: Lift each key from the bottom edge until it snaps, then slide it carefully upwards to free it from the holding mechanism. Reverse the operation to attach the key: Once attached on the top, press until it clicks in. You don't need to move the A and M keys.
Note: Updated for keyboards found on M1/M2 MacBooks. Older Apple devices have the scissor mechanism rotated 90°, and must be lifted from the left edge.
