im sure everyone know the whole story of InputManagers in leopard ... i was curious to see if i could get inquisitor working in leopard so i did a google search and found this blog post on the Textmate blog, i wont go in to specifics as to how InputManagers can work in leopard, read the article if you wish to find out.

Before following the steps its worthy to note that apple has said the method of automatically loading bundles will most likely be disabled in future releases of 10.5 so its unknown how long this will work ... using the method below will also make it harder to update in the future (you will have to copy the files every time you need to update) so only do this if you CANT live without Inquisitor like me.

ok so getting Inquisitor to work on leopard ... these are the steps i took to get it working on my system ... it should work for everyone but im not sure if it will.

*NOTE* These steps use the terminal, if you don't know how to use the terminal DO NOT ATTEMPT THE FOLLOWING

1. Install Inquisitor as normal using the installer

2. Using the Terminal create an InputManagers folder in /Library

Code:

sudo mkdir /Library/InputManagers

3. Using the Terminal copy Inquisitor over to the new folder

Code:

sudo cp -pR ~/Library/InputManagers/Inquisitor/ /Library/InputManagers/Inquisitor

4. Change the owner of /Library/InputManagers to root

Code:

sudo chown -R root:admin /Library/InputManagers

5. Remove the contents of ~/Library/InputManagers (backup any other InputManagers)
Make sure that ~/Library/InputManagers is empty, otherwise Inquisitor will not work.

There you have it! Inquisitor is now working! (hopefully)
