| To enable and use a keyboard layout is a two-step process. The
first step is accomplished in the System Preferences program, with
the International pane. You need to click on the Input Menu tab (at
least on 10.4 and 10.5). In the list that is in the pane, you should be able to find the keyboard layout that you have installed. The name that the keyboard layout is given in Ukelele is the relevant one, not the file name. You can sort the table by various columns, so where it appears is dependent on which column is the sort column. Once you have found your keyboard layout, you need to ensure that the check box in the first column is checked, which will not be the case when the keyboard layout is first installed. Also ensure that “Show input menu in menu bar” at the bottom of the window is checked. The second step is to enable the keyboard from the Input menu. This menu is on the right of the menu bar, and usually has a flag there, corresponding to the current input source (keyboard layout or input method). If the Input menu is not shown, it has to be enabled in International Preferences. You then can activate your keyboard layout by selecting it from the menu. |
