All Rights Reserved. ___________________________________________________ About the "dataComet Keyboard.rsrc" file ___________________________________________________ If you're using OS X 10.2 or later, you can install the "dataComet Keyboard.rsrc" file in order to ease use of EMACS or dataComet key macros; this helps by allowing you to disable Option-key remapping (which is used by defalt to allow you to enter characters from extended character sets). To install the "dataComet Keyboard.rsrc" file, first drag and drop the file from the dataComet "Extras" distribution folder into either your user account "Library/Keyboard Layouts/" folder or the system's "/Library/Keyboard Layouts/" folder. After installing the keyboard resource and rebooting, you need to select the "dataComet Keyboard" keyboard layout in the "Input Menu" pane of the "System Preferences..." "International" Preferences panel (which appears in the "Personal" row of the Preferences panel). Checking the "dataComet Keyboard" item in the list will cause "dataComet Keyboard" to appear as an option in menu bar's Input Menu. If you then select the "VT100" Preferences panel option "Option is Meta Key" for a given session, dataComet will automatically switch in the "dataComet Keyboard" when that session is frontmost. You can also select "dataComet Keyboard" manually from the "Input" menu. When you select "dataComet Keyboard", the option key will now have no "dead keys" defined, so that a single keystroke will immediately produce a character all character keys, rather than waiting for the next keystroke for some of the keys (e.g., in the US keymapping, E, I, N, and U, which produce accents, carets, and umlauts applied to the next character entered). ________________________________________________________________
