Online Turkish keyboard (ç, ğ, ı, ş, ö, ü)

A Turkish keyboard online for your own layout

Turkey uses two keyboard layouts: Turkish Q, the most common one, and Turkish F, designed around how often each Turkish letter appears. Switching to either means learning new key positions. This page keeps your QWERTY or AZERTY layout and simply adds the six Turkish letters it lacks, plus the dotted İ. It is made for Turkish families in the UK, Germany or France who message their relatives, for learners, and for anyone who has to spell a name like Gülşen, Çağlar or Şükrü correctly on a form, an invitation or a CV.

Turkish character shortcuts

Add Shift to a shortcut for the capital letter. Shortcuts follow the letter printed on the key, so pick QWERTY or AZERTY in the Physical keyboard setting. AltGr + E types the euro sign €, and a long-press on the straight quote key offers « », “ and ”.

The dotted and dotless i rule

Turkish has two pairs where English has one: i with its capital İ, and ı with its capital I. Most software follows English rules, so “istanbul” in capitals often comes out as ISTANBUL instead of İSTANBUL. This keyboard applies the Turkish rule on your physical keyboard and on screen alike: Shift + I gives İ, AltGr + I gives ı and Shift + AltGr + I gives I. Other keys typed without AltGr are left to your system, and so is Caps Lock, which still produces an undotted I.

Copy, search and share

Once your text is ready, copy it, save it as a .txt file or a PNG image, or share it on WhatsApp. The search buttons send your words straight to Google, YouTube or Wikipedia, which helps when you look up a Turkish song title or a recipe. Text typed here stays inside your browser, and the installed app works offline too.

Until 1928, Turkish was written in Arabic script: the Arabic keyboard types it, and its Regional letters panel holds پ, چ, ژ, گ and ڭ, used in Ottoman Turkish. For German, spoken in many Turkish families across Europe, the German keyboard follows the same model.
