3.2.9.3. Favorite Characters in Mac
For Mac users, a simpler method consists in defining your list of favorite characters from
the character palette (near the battery sign at the top-right of the screen), character
viewer (create 'favorites') and then simply click on them when needed while writing in
Praat. Make sure that you have downloaded and installed the CharisSIL font (or another
Unicode font), and that your favorite characters are in that font.
3.2.9.4. With the Ukelele keyboard (Mac)
Install Ukelele on your computer in the “Applications” folder :
http://mac.softpedia.com/get/System-Utilities/Ukelele.shtml or
http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&id=ukelele
A. Open Ukelele. An empty keyboard appears.
You have to base any keyboard you will create on a Unicode one: the easy way to do
that is to modify an existing Unicode keyboard adding the phonetic characters you
need. A set of keyboards is provided with Ukelele. You find them in Ukelele > System
keyboards > Unicode, and in Ukelele > Logitech Keyboard Layouts (Italian, French
and Spanish keyboards and in the Logitech folder).
B. Create your phonetic keyboard in Ukelele
o File > New Based On... > Applications → Ukelele → Logitech Keyboard Layouts
o choose the keyboard you need (for example Logitech Italian or French or Spanish).
o File > Save as > Choose a name > Format: Keyboard layout file → Macintosh
Hard disk → Library → Keyboard Layouts > Save.
