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!
