## Warning
N.B. only load this in a throwaway image because it hijacks event handling and it's easy to get into trouble

## Installing:
```smalltalk
Metacello new

	repository: 'github://seandenigris/Chord-Keyboard:master/repository';
	onConflict: [ :ex | ex allow ];
	load.
```
  

```smalltalk
CkChordKeyboard uniqueInstance enable.
```

## Help
These next two lines are to get you out of trouble:
```smalltalk
CkChordKeyboard uniqueInstance disable.
CkChordKeyboard reset.
```

Now use your chord keyboard to type in the workspace...
