|
## Opening the Keyman Menu
|
|
|
|
When you start Keyman, the Keyman icon
|
|
() is displayed on the Windows
|
|
Taskbar near the clock. This area is called the System Tray or System
|
|
Notification Area.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To display the Keyman menu, click on the Keyman icon.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Note**: If you cannot find the Keyman menu or Keyman icon, for more help see:
|
|
|
|
[Finding a Missing Keyman Menu](make-taskbar-icon-visible)
|
|
|
|
## Using the Keyman Menu
|
|
|
|
Click the Keyman icon () with either
|
|
mouse button to bring up the Keyman menu.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The left side of the Keyman menu lists the Keyman keyboards currently
|
|
installed and enabled on your computer. Click on a keyboard to turn it
|
|
on and start using it.
|
|
|
|
**Note**: You can add more Keyman keyboards to the Keyman menu through the Keyboard
|
|
Layouts tab of Keyman Configuration.
|
|
|
|
**Note**: To use a Keyman keyboard, the keyboard must be enabled in the Keyboard Layouts
|
|
tab of Keyman Configuration. For help enabling your keyboard, see
|
|
[Keyboard Task - Enable or Disable a Keyboard](enable-or-disable-keyboard).
|
|
|
|
The right side of the Keyman menu contains links to tools and features
|
|
in Keyman:
|
|
|
|
|
|
: Opens or closes the On Screen Keyboard tool
|
|
|
|
|
|
: Opens or closes the Font Helper tool
|
|
|
|
|
|
: Opens or closes the Character Map tool
|
|
|
|
|
|
: Opens the Keyman Text Editor
|
|
|
|
|
|
: Opens Keyman Configuration
|
|
|
|
|
|
: Opens Keyman Help
|
|
|
|
|
|
: Exits Keyman
|
|
|
|
## Finding a Missing Keyman Menu
|
|
|
|
If you cannot find the Keyman icon for the Keyman menu, it may be in the
|
|
hidden notifications area of the Windows Taskbar. Check for the Keyman
|
|
icon by clicking the arrow or triangle next to the Windows clock.
|
|
|
|
If the Keyman icon is in this collection, you can optionally
|
|
[move it permanently to the Windows Taskbar](make-taskbar-icon-visible),
|
|
to make it more easily accessible. However, Keyman will run
|
|
correctly even if the icon is left in this collection.
