keymapping for Mac 10.6

[Rob Neff]

The instructions for the Mac didn't work for me.  I'm using Mac 10.6 (Snow Leopard).  My steps:

1. Copy the bundle file as described.

2. Open system preferences, then select Language & Text

3. Under input sources, select the minimak option of choice.

4. Make sure the "Show input source on menu" option is selected.

5. Set the keyboard of choice by clicking on the flag on the top right of the screen.

I'll see how this works on my MacBook, which is the latest operating system.

p.s. This is my first bit of writing using Minimak (going the recommended route, starting with Minimak-4)  

I'm glad I found this site, I had thought about Dvorak, but it looked like a steep learning curve, and then found out about Colemak when installing Mac Mavericks, a friend knew about it but didn't like the remapping of x-c-v, and further research led me here :)

I'm sorry to hear that and more sorry to say there's nothing I can really do.  The Mac bindings were donated and I don't have a Mac so I can't do any kind of troubleshooting.

The MacBook route seems like the best test.  At the least I can update the README for the Mac bindings to reflect whether they work on Snow Leopard.  I'll also do a bit of googling to see if anything pops up about SL and key bindings.

This may help: http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&id=ukelele.  I haven't used it but it should support Snow Leopard.

I should clarify: The steps as you described for the Mac didn't work for Mac OS 10.6, but the steps I listed did.  

I think it was just a change in operating systems, some settings got moved around.  It is working for me now.

Your description did work for 10.9 on my laptop, the latest OS.

Thanks, Rob

Thanks for the clarification, I did misunderstand.  I'll update the readme to reflect the steps for snow leopard.
