Please provide an uninstall mechanism that doesn't require the keyboard!

My wife installed DoubleCommand this morning, and for whatever reason her keyboard is now completely non-functional. The uninstall instructions ask her to run a command in the terminal app, but this is quite hard without a keyboard. :-/ Navigating to the StartupItems folder via the finder is possible, but trying to remove the DoubleCommand entry there leads to a password prompt (again, no keyboard).

It seems sensible for something that intercepts the keyboard at a fairly low level to provide a shutdown switch that doesn't involve the keyboard.

Thanks, Will

That's a good point, you can't do any authentication when the keyboard isn't working. At the bottom of http://doublecommand.sourceforge.net/help.html there are instructions for starting in single user mode, which will not load DoubleCommand, and so those removal instructions should be more useful in this case.
