10.3: Restore the Key Caps application via AppleScript
Authored by: regulus on Feb 26, '04 02:50:12PM

That's awesome and worked just as explained.

As you mentioned, closing the pallett doesn't quit the keyboardviewerserver process (as evidenced by using the top command in the terminal). Is there a better way of quitting the server (after I close the pallett) other than killing it in the terminal? I guess I can make another applescript with just the first part of your script to quit it, but that seems a bit unelegant to have to run a second script. Are there any other suggestions? Can one applescript be made which launches the keyboardviewerserver as explained, but waits around in the background looking for when I close the keyboardviewer pallett, and then quits the server when I close the pallett, and then quits the applescript? I hate to leave processes running for something that I will use infrequently.
