## Enable and Disable a Keyboard
|
|
|
|
Keyman keyboards can be enabled and disabled. Disabling a Keyman keyboard removes
|
|
it from the Keyman menu and Keyman Toolbox but does not uninstall the keyboard.
|
|
This is useful if:
|
|
|
|
* You are using a single keyboard layout from a package with multiple
|
|
keyboards and you want to remove the extra keyboards from the Keyman
|
|
Toolbox and menu.
|
|
|
|
* You have a keyboard layout installed which you aren't currently using but don't
|
|
want to uninstall.
|
|
|
|
To disable a Keyman keyboard, untick the corresponding checkbox. To enable a
|
|
disabled keyboard, tick the checkbox.
|
|
|
|
## Remove Keyboards
|
|
|
|
Removing a Keyman keyboard package uninstalls and deletes the entire
|
|
package. Although you can disable individual keyboards (as described above),
|
|
if an installed package contains more than one keyboard, you cannot remove
|
|
them individually.
|
|
|
|
To remove a keyboard package, click the delete button
|
|
 in the far right of the row with the
|
|
package name.
|
|
|
|
## Display Keyboard Information
|
|
|
|
All Keyman keyboard packages contain some basic metadata information,
|
|
such as the name and version, included fonts, author, and copyright. To
|
|
display this information, click the information button
|
|
 to the right of the package name.
|
|
|
|
## Display Keyboard Help
|
|
|
|
Many Keyman keyboard packages contain help files, with instructions for
|
|
learning to use the keyboard(s) to type special characters. This is
|
|
especially helpful for keyboards that use multiple key sequences to
|
|
generate characters, since it is not usually possible to convey this
|
|
information via an on-screen keyboard showing the individual characters
|
|
associated with the keys on the physical keyboard. To open a window that
|
|
will allow you to view the keyboard help, click the help button
|
|
 to the right of the package name. (If
|
|
this button is disabled, it means that no help files were included in the
|
|
package.)
