[comp.sys.mac.programmer] application specific KCHR

mrose@stsci.EDU (Mike Rose) (05/01/91)

After creating a new KCRH resource, it can be made the current
keyboard by installing it in the current system and using the control
panel to choose the new keyboard.  Making it the keyboard only for
specific applications is more difficult.  Based on responses to a
previous posting and tech note 160(?) it seems that the application
must force the new kchr to be loaded.  This is unacceptable for my
purposes, we don't have the source code.  Selecting a different
keyboard for some applications is too inconvenient.

I want to have specific kchr's active automatically in specific
applications and nowhere else.  QuicKeys does this somehow, so it can
be done.  Does anyone know how?

	Take care, if you have an application specific KCHR, your
application will not work properly on non-US Macs.
MacLayers has its own KCHR, and its a pain to use it with a french
keyboard (AZERTY).
