- You're in luck! I just asked the same question, and
- I've got an answer. Thanx to Dave Johnson (johnson@wrs.com):
-
- I have an extension that came bundled in a package called CarpetBag.
- It does exactly what you want. You can change keyboards on the fly
- directly from a menu next to the Balloon Help button. Dvorak, USA,
- French, Konji, whatever your preference.
-
- Is on mac.archive.umich.edu and on sumex-aim.standford.edu I believe.
-
- ----------
-
- Carpetbag is currently at v1.34.
