Disabling System Layouts

By default, there has to be at least one system keyboard layout activated in macOS. In order to disable all system keyboard layouts and to have only the custom one listed, further steps have to be performed.

  1. Duplicate the current keyboard layout preference file to a temporary location and open it for editing.

cp ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.HIToolbox.plist /tmp open /tmp/com.apple.HIToolbox.plist

  1. Manually remove the entries for system keyboard layouts listed under the key AppleEnabledInputSources.

  2. Copy the edited version of the preference file back to its original location:

cp /tmp/com.apple.HIToolbox.plist ~/Library/Preferences/

  1. Restart the computer.
