The Māori keyboard acts exactly the same, with one difference. You can press the ` key before you type a vowel to add a macron to it. The ` key is next to the 1 key at the top left of most keyboards. It's also the tilde (~) key, which might help you remember because it looks a bit like a macron.
A symbol (ˉ) written or printed above a vowel to show that it is pronounced with a long sound: "Maori" should be written with a macron on the "a." The five vowels come in long and short forms; the long form is sometimes signified in print by a macron (a flat bar) above the letter.
A macron is a line above a vowel to indicate that it should be spoken as a long vowel: ā, ē, ī, ō, ū, Ā, Ē, Ī, Ō and Ū. The Māori word for macron is tohutō (or pōtae - hat). For more detailed information on its use, see Māori Orthographic Conventions.

A macron (/ˈmækrɒn, ˈmeɪ-/ MAK-ron, MAY-) is a diacritical mark: it is a straight bar ¯ placed above a letter, usually a vowel.

Typing a macron on a computer To type a macron with the Māori keyboard, press the tilde key (~) then type a vowel. This works for both Windows and Mac computers. For Mac users, you can also hold down the Alt/Option key and type the vowel.
Mana whenua Loosely translates as people of the land, local people, people born of the land, people living on their ancestors' land, Indigenous people. Māori are known as the tangata whenua in Aotearoa. We may use this term to refer to Māori in a general/ inclusive way.
Pressing the right Alt key (often marked AltGr ) before a vowel places a macron above it. Hold down the right Alt ( AltGr ) key. While still holding down on the right Alt key, press the a key on your keyboard. Release all keys. Now the next vowel you type in will have a macron placed above it.
For example, to get an ā: Switch your keyboard to US Extended. Type ⌥a+a (i.e. press and hold the option key, press a while still holding the option key) release the option key and the a key, then type a again.
