was able to run the third level chooser. The Mac operating system
has this feature built-in which is why it's so popular in Europe.
It could be hard to do.
I've drawn two pictures ...
design 1
and design 2
I want to give the user a choice in which key to use
in order to obtain the third level characters.
Certain users like to use third level characters
such as German speakers or French speakers.
They use it on a daily basis,so it should be set immediately,
the first time the operating system is booted.
My first design does everything in one window,
but I do not know if it is practical since system
files must be changed before the keyboard can be
used with the new modifier.
I think my second design is more practical.
By clicking on the TEST KEYBOARD button, the system
files can be changed and the test done properly.
Other users such as US keyboard or Hebrew
rarely use this feature i.e. third level.
So there should be different procedures
depending on which keyboard is chosen.
US, Hebrew,Greek and perhaps a few others should go direct to desktop
as a convenience.
French German Spanish and many others should go to
the third level chooser and have the option to do a test as well.
I like alternative 2 since users who are in a hurry
can click OK , avoid the keyboard test and be
taken right to the desktop.
But you're the expert in these things. Is it possible or am I underestimating
how hard it is to put a third level chooser in the startup routine?
