Hello everyone:
I am excited to start learning colemak. I am suffering from RSI at work, and would like to increase efficiency and minimize effort and strain on my wrists and tendons (I was recently diagnosed with tendonitis).
I downloaded the "colemak.keylayout" file for Mac, and it saved on my desktop. I dropped it into the Library/Keyboard Layouts folder using Finder. I then logged out of OS X. Then I logged back in, went "System Preferences", then "International", and clicked on the "Input Menu" tab. I then selected Colemak from the list. Note: the "US" option was greyed out, so I could not deselect it. However I could select colemak which is what I did. I did not see any type of accept or save button, so I closed out my "System Preferences"
Can you guys offer any assistance? Where did I screw this up? And will I need to do further work to change caps lock to backspace? Note - I will want to eventually use this at work, where I have a windows computer, so I will have to learn to redownload it all again. Hopefully it is easier there.
Thanks!
