10.3: Input menu now reflects language choice
Authored by: mzajac on Oct 28, '03 10:23:36AM

There's an OS 9 Canadian English keyboard layout at info-mac. The file is at

and its description at

I've been using this with OS X 10.2, by putting it into ~/Library/Keyboard Layouts. Activate it in the Input Menu tab of the International control panel.

I find I have to add it to the keyboard menu after every reboot (every couple of months or so), but I think it's a quirk of my OS install. I'll see if it's fixed after I clean-install Panther.

I forgot to mention that you have to add ".rsrc" to the end of the OS 9 keyboard layout's file name. There's more info at
