Norman not showing as an input option on macOS’s login screen? #15

Try as I might, I can’t seem to get Norman to show up as an option on macOS’s login screen. I’ve followed the steps from the readme as best as I can:

  • ✓ I checked that Norman.bundle is in /Library/Keyboard Layouts/:

library - keyboard layouts

  • ✓ I made sure that Norman is listed under System Preferences → Keyboard → Input Sources
  • ✓ And I checked the option for “Show Input menu in menu bar”

system preferences - keyboard - input sources

  • ✓ I checked the option for “Show Input menu in login window” under System Preferences → Users and Groups → Login Options

system preferences - login options

When I go to log in, there’s an Input menu, but I don’t see “Norman” in the main list of input sources or under the list of “Other Input Sources”:

macos login screen - input selection

macos login screen - input selection - other

Would you happen to have any ideas there?

(Just for completeness: I’m seeing this on my MacBook Pro, which is running El Capitan 10.11.6, and I’m also seeing this on my Mac mini, which is running High Sierra 10.13.4.)

P.S. Norman works fine once I log in (and in fact, I’m wrote this with Norman). It only seems to be on the login screen where I’m running into this.

I don't have any ideas on what the problem is here, but I can confirm I also see this with both Norman and Workman layouts. I could have sworn it used to be there, but maybe not?

Yes, it used to be there. The Users & Groups preference checkbox was the big key to showing it after it was activated by any user. None of the keyboard layouts from the Norman challenge are showing for me anymore in the login menu. I imagine this is a "security" fix for running userland files for a login prompt. Maybe Apple is concerned about a keyboard bundle somehow logging passwords? I'm not excited about the possibility of having to sign the bundle with a $99/yr developer account.

I'm not excited about the possibility of having to sign the bundle with a $99/yr developer account.

If it comes to that, I’d be happy to chip in toward that cost if you were to set up a GoFundMe or something. (It’d be the least that I could do to thank you for all your hard work in creating this.)

I don't yet know if that's the fix or not.
