Hi
Ctrl+F8 will get you back to the status menu. Also, the languages and
input languages are different. The input language can be Greek while
the system language is something else. The system language determines,
among other things, the language that programs display their menus and
options in, the format of dates, numbers, and times, etc...

Ok, I just did another restart and no good. I did find, though, that
I can do things that don't involve both vo keys. I can open things,
check things etc. So I went back to the system preferences (found
them in applications) and when I checked the languages, Greek wasn't
checked. I don't get it. If that's the input language that it's
using now, how can it not be checked? Furthermore, how can I get to
the status menu without hitting vo m? I could get sighted assistance,
but I'll have to wait till tomorrow and I hate doing that. Is there
some kind of cold reset I can do to get all the defaults back?

It definitely helped, but now, I can't get it back to english! I'm
using a windows machine and am seriously considering switching back
to
windows if I can't solve this problem by creating a macros or
something. I need a multilingual machine and this isn't cutting it.
I can't use any of the VO commands because they won't work with the
Greek keyboard layout. I tried hitting the off button and then
turning it on again, hoping that it wouldn't save my settings, but it
did. So how do I fix this? Microsoft got this one right with alt
shift as a default to change this, no matter where you are. Btw, I
actually can use command w and command q, jut not anything else.

The status menu is vo+m twice, it's where your battery, clock, and
other things show up. Pressing vo+space on the checkbox for me says
checked, but doesn't actually check the box. You need to use vo+cmd
+f5, then vo+shift+space to click the box.

Ok, I'm not sure what you meant about the mouse and when I tried vo
shift space, it didn't work. I just looked at the options and hit
vo
space and it said the box was checked. But where do I find this
status menu? Also, is there a quick hotkey to do this?

Hi
To add any keyboard, go to system preferences, then international.
Select the input menu tab, and check the keyboards you want
(there's a
lot of them). Note that I had to route the mouse to the "on"
checkbox
immediately to the left of each keyboard name and do vo+shift
+space
to
actually click on the checkbox.
Once you've got more than one keyboard enabled, an icon will
appear
on
your status menu called "text input." This is a pulldown menu from
which you can select any of the keyboards you have enabled.

Geia sas,
Can anyone please tell me how to add the Greek keyboard to the
Macbook? I know how to do this in Windows, but have never
attempted
it in Leopard and don't want to wind up changing the whole
system to
Greek. *smile* Also, how to I switch between keyboard languages?
thanks,
Tiffanitsa
