## Installing a Keyman Keyboard from a Folder on Your Computer
|
|
|
|
There are two ways to install a keyboard from your computer. The easiest way is simply
|
|
to find the keyboard package (.KMP file) on your computer using Finder and double-click.
|
|
When prompted whether or not to install the package, click Yes. (If you don't see the
|
|
dialog box, it might be hiding behind your Finder window.)
|
|
|
|
The other way is to drag and drop a keyboard package file onto the Keyman Configuration
|
|
window. Here's how:
|
|
|
|
1. Choose Keyman from the Input menu in the menu bar.
|
|
2. Open Keyman Configuration, from the Configuration link under Keyman in the Input menu.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Select the Keyboard Layouts tab.
|
|
4. Back in Finder, find the keyboard package on your computer. Keyman keyboard packages
|
|
have a file name that ends with .kmp.
|
|
5. Drag and drop the keyboard package file in the installed keyboards list in Keyman
|
|
Configuration window.
|
|
|
|
**Note:** You can drag and drop multiple keyboard packages at once.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## After installation
|
|
|
|
**Tip:** The Keyboard/Package Info window includes some helpful information about
|
|
the keyboard you have installed. In addition to the name and version of the keyboard,
|
|
the dialog may also show:
|
|
* Fonts installed with the keyboard.
|
|
* Author name and contact information.
|
|
* Specific help and readme information (under the readme tab).
|
|
|
|
**Note:** Keyman keyboards are installed for the current user only. You can find
|
|
the installed keyboards in 'Documents/Keyman-Keyboards' folder; however, you should
|
|
not delete or modify this folder or its contents.
|
|
|
|
1. To enable/disable a keyboard; click on the check box next to the keyboard.
|
|
2. You can now select a Keyman keyboard from the Keyboards menu under Keyman in the
|
|
Input menu.
|
|
|
|
**Note:** Only enabled keyboards will be displayed in the Keyboards menu under Keyman
|
|
in the Input menu.
