Additional Information

After installing the Māori Keyboard definition a user can press the [~`] key once then any vowel. This applies to upper case as well as lower case letters. If a user requires the left quotation the user simply presses the key twice. If the user needs to use the tilde character, they simply use the traditional method of [Shift]+[~`]. i.e. the ā character would be entered by pressing the [~`] key then the [a] key.
