Removing a Keyboard

Disabling a keyboard

If you just want to remove a keyboard from the keyboard selection menu, but wish to keep it available for use later, you should disable the keyboard rather than uninstalling it. In the Keyman Configuration dialog, clear the check mark beside the name of the keyboard in the list of installed keyboards and select OK. The keyboard will no longer appear in the menu. You can enable the keyboard again by checking it in the list.

Uninstalling a keyboard

Uninstalling a keyboard will remove it from your system, so that you must reinstall it in order to use it again. You can do this either through the Keyman Configuration dialog or the Control Panel Add or Remove Programs applet.

Note: If you have turned off the option List keyboards in 'Add or Remove Programs' Control Panel applet, then the second method here will not apply to you.
