As you guess this seems to be a tricky issue. Personally I wouldn’t even know how to determine the specific key combination needed with a user’s current keyboard layout. (And seeing that even Apple’s own character palette does not seem to provide this information, makes me think it may not even be possible to do this properly.)

]]>However there are some glitches.
In the Unicode point list on the left the font is not aliased and the appearance is very poor.
It’s impossible to download the Unihan files; the dialog box that appears at the first start is stuck and doesn’t answer requests. The same happens when the “Download and install Unihan data” is chosen. Whether I click on “Cancel” or “Move to Trash”, the dialog box is stuck and the only way out is quitting the application.
Apple’s Gatekeeper technology seems to be the problem here. Unfortunately it gives an incorrect message to you which makes this confusing: The application is not broken, Gatekeeper just won’t let you launch it. (To make things even more confusing, this only happens on a few machines, for reasons I do not understand.)
You can work around this issue by temporarily deactivating Gatekeeper (go to System Preferences → Security & Privacy → General tab and select the radio button to allow App downloads from Anywhere). Earth Addresser should launch just fine with that setup. You can then revert Gatekeeper to its original setting and Earth Addresser should still launch fine in the future.
I am not 100% sure Earth Addresser is the perfect match for you as it expects the addresses to be in your Mac’s Contacts application rather than a spreadsheet. But I hope you’ll find a way to make things work!
]]>Cool that you found the camera you’ve been looking for. Feel free to use the photo and link.
The button-clip’s »pop« is indeed satisfying!
]]>I was specifically googling for old cameras from the 50s and knew I would spot the one we used to use. This is it! I remember ever detail of it, every line, bump, down to the cute little button-clip that shuts the lens back in with a satisfying ‘pop’.
Lovely to find this. Narjas
