A real UK keyboard layout for Snow Leopard

Thanks to this blogger who made real UK keyboard layouts that work under Snow Leopard. I couldn’t get alternative community created UK layouts, that previously worked in Leopard, to work under Snow Leopard. They would never appear as a selectable layout in Language & Text » Input Sources. Maybe because I tried to install them under /Library/Keyboard Layouts instead of my user specific directory (~/Library/Keyboard Layouts). The author of the post admits he encountered the same problem.

I’m relieved to have # ~ ” \ back in their rightful places! As a developer ALT+3 for # is like pulling teeth (thank god I don’t do much Perl programming!).

What’s that? Switch back to Windows? Never! :)
