    .keymapping files

    Well, Apple still hasn't released a Greek keyboard layout for OS X, despite the fact that the system font (Lucida Grande) supports Greek. I guess that I'll have to program one myself. Problem is, I haven't been able to find any documentation for .keymapping files. Does anyone know how to...

    Print to PDF

    Am I missing something, or has "Print to PDF" been removed from print dialogs? The only way that I can print to PDFs now is to do a print preview and save as PDF from the Preview application's File menu.
