Thanks, Anne. That certainly will make things much, much easier for me as I write in several languages also. The only reason I was using the 'dead keys' is because that what I was using on my old Macintosh Performa 6320 running Mac OS 7.5.3 [later updated to Mac OS 8.6] and old my old Macintosh Powermac 5260 running Mac OS 8.1 [later updated to Mac OS 8.6] and had got quite used to it.
Thanks, again, Anne, ever so much. Joni On 7/4/06, Anne Robertson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hello everyone, I use several different languages and find it more practical to change the keyboard layout to suit the language rather than having to use deadkeys for accents. To add new keyboard layouts to your menus: Go to the International pane of System Preferences, select the third tab (Input Menus), then interact with the table and select the languages you want. French is row 64, German row 66 and Spanish row 106. These languages will then appear as options in the menus. Unfortunately, keyboard practice does not recognise alternative keyboard layouts so you have to put keyboard echo to every character to learn the new layout. HTH Anne
