Missing Keyboard Viewer?
Edited on Sat Feb-02-08 02:11 PM by GoneOffShore
I'm trying to find Keyboard Viewer in Leopard so I can do accents and it seems to have disappeared. Am I just being stupid?
It used to be in the utilities folder.

Added on edit:

Figured it out. It's buried in the Apple Support site
To access Keyboard Viewer:

Choose Apple menu > System Preferences and click International.


Click Input Menu, then select the checkbox next to Keyboard Viewer.


Select the On checkbox next to the language whose keyboard layout you want to use.


Choose Show Keyboard Viewer from the Input menu (international symbol) on the right side of the menu bar.


But those options weren't showing up. And so, there is a Terminal workaround.


From the Finder's Go menu, choose Utilities.

Open Terminal (located in the Utilities folder, in the Applications folder).

Carefully type (or paste) the following command, then press Return.

sudo rm /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.IntlDataCache*

Enter your admin password if prompted for it.

Type or paste the following command in Terminal, then press Return.

sudo rm /var/folders/*/*/-Caches-/com.apple.IntlDataCache*

Quit Terminal.

Restart the computer.

The Keyboard Viewer, Japanese Kana Palette and/or Character Palette should now available choices in International preferences, and can be re-enabled there so that they appear in the text input menu.


And so it is.
