Toggle Character Palette and Keyboard Viewer on/off
Authored by: llee on Jan 29, '10 09:07:57AM
Well, Rob G. politely enlightened me to the fact that I'm apparently not enough of a desktop publisher to realize that there is a benefit to be derived from making the distinction between dragging those characters in there and clicking the button in Character viewer. I hadn't previously linked the failure of the button to the viewer launching method. I just thought it was a palette scope thing with the app I was using. I actually believe I remember at some point considering whether to submit a bug report that the button in Character viewer doesn't always work. Thanks to Rob for revealing the embarrassing truth.

However, now I'm quite intrigued by the possibility of modifying Nicholas Riley's source for his keyboardViewer executable to make one that provides the same functionality for the Character viewer.

github.com/nriley/keyboardViewer

Maybe Nicholas can be persuaded to release a remedy himself.
