My Keyboard Viewer shrunk. I can see the RED X (close) and YELLOW - (shrink) buttons but not the green button. How do I get it back to full size?
I use it for foreign languages, so I'm lost without it.
Thanks,

Drag its bottom right corner outward to enlarge the window.

That does not work, it was the first thing I tried. I have also tried left & right-clicking while holding down different keys, e.g., ctl, ctl-command, etc. I repaired permissions and restarted the computer - no help either.
Well, I dunno. Dragging the LR corner resizes the window for me.
It is working for me too by dragging the left or the right side. No need to search for a corner. But perhaps you could try to remove the preference file out of your User Preference folder: com.apple.KeyboardViewer.plist
In Terminal you enter the following command and you hit <enter> :
rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.KeyboardViewer.plist
rm means "remove". The rest is clear I hope :-)

Marek,
Thanks. Removing the plist worked. I cut & pasted your command as I couldn't find " ~ "
It was much easier to find & remove when the plists were in the library.

:-) But now you have your Keyboard Viewer working. This little tool is just to find "weired" characters on your board. In German layout the ~ (tilde) is found by OPTION + n then a space. On American Keyboard it is found SHIFT + ` (the first key to the right of the left shift key).
Apple does not want beginners to play around with the System files. If you are looking into the threads here, you certainly understand why.
The .plist files are in the Library folder. You have three of them: in the root folder, in /System folder, and in your home folder.

Great! The terminal command worked like a charm.
THANKS
Keyboard Viewer is small
