Cannot paste new keyboard to folder Keyboard layouts

[sebastia...@gmail.com]

Hi,

I modified the standard US Mac keyboard, created a .bundle file, but cannot paste the bundle file to the folder System/Library/Keyboard Layouts.

I am using UKELELE 3.2.5. and mac OSSierra 10.12.6

How can I paste the new keyboard layout to the library?

Thanks for your help

Of course you cannot do that, as the system folder should not be touched. Put it in /Library/Keyboard Layouts

Thanks, makes sense. I pasted it to /Library/Keyboard Layouts but can not see it when opening system preferences, input sources. Do you know why?

Log out and relog in or restart, in some cases this is necessary. I cannot guess why sometimes this step is not necessary.

Did you check in Others area? Some of my custom keylayouts are displayed there and only there.

I did a restart but the new keyboard is still not visible. I checked folder 'others' and did a search.

Problem solved. it was there, but still had the same name as the original...

Change the name of the keylayout WITHIN the application, not by simply changing its display name: Keyboard/Set Keyboard name...

Hi Sebastian,

Had you looked in the Ukelele Help or Tutorial?

No offense, I’m just trying to see how hard or easy it is for new users to do the right thing.

This problem (forgetting to change the name) comes up so often!

I’m wondering if John should build in something that automatically changes the keyboard layout’s name, like adding "copy" or something.

Or maybe a routine that parses the current name and if that produces a "probably a system name" flag, bring up a warning, giving the user the choice to Cancel, Go through with this name, or Edit the name. Then, if the last option was chosen, open the "Set Keyboard Name and Script" dialog.
