Allow a different input source for each document

I just received my new MBP and am really happy about it. I'm a switcher so apologies in advance if this question is silly...
I use both Swedish and English keyboard maps. I can switch between them using a shortcut which is fine. However, in the International settings I thought "Allow a different input source for each document" would mean that the input source I use for a specific application will be used as long as the application is running and I don't change it, no matter what source I use in other applications.
For example: I have the English input source as default. Then I open text edit and change the source to Swedish and start typing. So far so good. I then change to another application...
Ok, it seemed that I might be able to answer this myself... as I test I noticed the following:
If I start typing using a source in an application THEN the source is retained. If I just switch to an application, change its source the source is NOT retained and will take the previous one.
Now this is all and well as long as the application you are using actually presents you with a text area to write in. But there are many applications where this is not the case (where you open windows to type text). A really good example is an IM client. Lets say Skype for example (yes I know.. iChat). Until I actually start a chat there is no text input window (well there is one..) which means that it will pick up whatever source was used previously. If I keep all the chat windows open thats fine but as soon as I reopen a windows I might be forced to change the source again
I hope I haven't overcomplicated my question which is simply what to expect when "Allow a different input source for each document" is used (I know it doesn't say "application" there and that might actually be a hint
Many Thanks for any comments

It's not a silly question, but I don't think there is an answer either, as it's not clear exactly what that setting is supposed to do, or if it actually does something consistently for various different kinds of apps.
If you have not already done so, check the box for "show input menu in Finder" in system prefs/international/input menu, so you can see which layout is active at the top right of the Finder.

  • Firefox on OS X 10.6.8: How to have a different input source for different tabs in one window (the option "Allow a different one for each document" is on)

    Currently, firefox 29 keeps one language for different tabs in one window. Different windows can have different input sources...

    Thank you for your reply!
    I think I've accidentally marked the problem as solved, but in fact it's not.
    What is needed is that the firefox remember different input methods (languages, for instance, En or Fr) for different tabs so that when I switch between several tabs I don't need to change the layout.
    Chrome remembers my language settings for each tab, so it's not always one language for all the same tabs there. I haven't found such an option in Firefox so far.
    Hope it's clear enough.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Different Input Sources Problem

    Hi guys.
    I have a very strange problem with the Input Sources.
    There are English and Russian input sources installed at my MacBook Pro (Mountain Lion, 10.8.4).
    I have "Allow a different input source for each document" setting enabled however it doesn't work correctly.
    E.g. I have russian layout active at Skype and Adium and english layout at iTerm2. I switch from iTerm2 to Adium and when I switch back there is russian layout is active at iTerm2! **** it.
    I don't know why it happens and I've already tried a lot of suggestions from the net. Nothing helps.
    Kindly suggest what else I should check at my Mac.

    Do you have the same problem when switching among Apple apps?  All those you mention are from elsewhere and it's possible their support for this feature is imperfect.

  • How can I setup different number range for each company code?

    Dear GURU,
         Is it possible to setup different number range for material document by company code? If yes, what should i do.
         Thank you in advance.
    Thammarit

    Hi,
    you maintain the number assignment for the following documents:
    material documents
    physical inventory documents
    The number assignment for these documents is not to be confused with the number assignment for accounting documents . The number assignment for accounting documents depends on the document type which is allocated to the transaction.
    The number assignment for material documents and physical inventory documents depends on the transaction/event type which is also allocated to each transaction in Inventory Management. The transaction/event types are divided into groups of number ranges. A number range interval has to be defined for each group.
    You cannot change the transaction/event types. However, you can change the number range intervals or you can allocate transaction/event types to new groups.
    Caution: Change in the Fiscal Year
    If, at the time of a fiscal year change, you reset the number range in the new fiscal year, separate number range intervals for the previous year and for the current year must be maintained for one month to allow postings to the prior period.
    Example:
    Interval for 1995: 4900000000 to 4999999999 status: 4900451234
    Interval for 1996: 4900000000 to 4999999999 status: 4900000000
    If only one number range interval exists for both years and you make any postings to the previous period, the system will assign numbers that already exist in the previous year. This would lead to an update termination.
    In the standard system, the transaction/event types and number range intervals are preset for Inventory Management as follows:
    Physical inventory documents
    Number range interval from 0100000000 to 0199999999
    This group contains the following transaction/event types:
    - IB Physical inventory documents
    - ID Physical inventory documents for counts and differences
    without reference
    - IN Physical inventory documents for recounts
    - IZ Physical inventory documents for count without reference
    - WV Physical inventory documents for difference postings in the WM System
    Material documents for goods movements and inventory differences
    Number range interval from 4900000000 to 4999999999
    This group contains the following transaction/event types:
    - WA Goods issues, transfer postings, other goods receipts
    - WH Goods movements for handling units (HU)
    - WI Material documents for inventory adjustment postings
    - WL Goods issues for delivery documents (SD)
    - WQ Goods movements for usage decisions (QM)
    - WR Goods movements for completion confirmations (PP)
    - WS Goods movements for run schedule headers (PP)
    - WZ Documents for batch status changes
    Material documents for goods receipts
    Number range interval from 5000000000 to 5999999999
    This group contains the following transaction/event types:
    - WE Goods receipts for purchase orders
    - WF Goods receipts for production orders
    - WO Subsequent adjustment of subcontract orders
    - WW Subsequent adjustment of active ingredient materials
    Inventory sampling numbers
    Number range interval from 0200000000 to 0299999999
    This group contains the transaction/event type SI.
    SAP recommends that you accept the settings defined in the standard system. In this case, no action is required on your part.
    Note
    For performance reasons, 10 document numbers are buffered on the application server. In this way, gaps in number assignment can occur.
    Actions
    Check whether you can use the predefined groups and number intervals.
    If you want to change any groups, proceed as follows:
    a) Choose Group -> Maintain.
    b) Select the transaction/event type that you want to re-allocate.
    c) Place the cursor on the new group and choose Edit -> Assign element group).
    d) Save your settings.
    If you want to define new groups, proceed as follows:
    a) Select Group -> Maintain.
    b) Then select Group -> Insert.
    c) Enter a text for the number range group.
    d) Maintain the number interval for this number range group.
    e) Allocate the transaction/event types to the number range groups (see step 2).
    If you want to maintain new number range intervals for an existing group, proceed as follows:
    a) Choose Group -> Maintain.
    b) Select a group and choose Interval -> Maintain.
    c) Choose Edit -> Insert year.
    d) Maintain the number interval for the new fiscal year.
    If you do not want to use the year-related number assignment method, enter 9999 in the field Year.
    Note on transport
    You transport number range objects as follows:
    In the initial screen, choose Interval -> Transport.
    Note that all intervals for the selected number range object are deleted in the target system first. After the import, only the intervals you export are present. The number statuses are imported with their values at the time of export.
    Dependent tables are not transported or converted.

  • How do I set up different icloud accounts for each family member and make them able to access them on our common mac using their user name on the mac.  I am doing this to make sure kids don't get access to our messages.

    We have several apple products in the family.  I would like to set up different icloud accounts for each memeber.  I lately noticed having activated different devices with same icloud account that each device can access everyones messages by going in their settings and clicking which number or email they want to use to see messages.  Let me make sure I am understood, on my sons ipod in his messages settings he can switch to my cell number and see all my messages.  Re setting the devices isn't my great issue but can i set up each kids user account on my mac to their individual icloud accounts?
    Thanks!

    Any devices connected to the same icloud account can sync all the data on that account.  For this reason an icloud account is really for a single user.
    On a mac, if each user has their own account, then the itunes for that mac account should be set up to connect to that user's icloud account (System preferences>icloud).

  • How to create different log files for each of web applications deployed in OC4J

    Hi All,
    I am using OC4J(from Oracle) v1.0.2.2 and Windows2000. Now I want to know
    1. how to create different log files for each of my deployed web applications ?
    2. what are the advantages in running multiple instances of oc4j and in what case we should run
    multiple instances of OC4J ?
    3. how to run OC4J as Windows2000 Service rather than Windows2000 Application ?
    Thanks and Regards,
    Kumar.

    Hi Avi,
    First of all I have given a first reading to log4j and I think there will some more easy way of logging debugging messages than log4j (If you could provide me a detailed explanation of a servlet,jsp,java bean that uses log4j and how to use log4j then it will be very helpful for me). The other easy ways (if I am not using log4j) to my problem i.e creating different log files for each of web applications deployed in oc4j are
    I have created multiple instances of OC4J that are configured to run on different ports and so on each instance I have deployed a single web application . And I started the 2 oc4j instances by transferring thier error/log messages to a file. And the other way is ..
    I have download from jakarta site a package called servhelper . This servhelper is a thread that is started in a startup servlet and stopped in the destroy method of that startup servlet. So this thread will automatically capture all the system.out.println's and will print those to a file. I believe that this thread program is synchronized. So in this method I need not run multiple instances of OC4J instead each deployed web application on single instance of oc4j uses the same thread program (ofcourse a copy of thread program is put in each of the deployed web applications directories) to log messages on to different log files.
    Can you comment on my above 2 approached to logging debugging messages and a compartive explanation to LOG4J and how to use LOG4J using a simple servlet, simple jsp is appreciated ...
    Thanks and Regards,
    Ravi.

  • HT5622 How do I change the Apple id against a certain telephone number?  I have two iPhones and wish to use a different Apple id for each and confused as to how I do this?

    How do I change the Apple id against a certain telephone number?  I have two iPhones and wish to use a different Apple id for each and confused as to how I do this?

    Create a new Apple ID for the second phone. If you are setting the phones up as new phone enter the ID you want to use on each phone.
    If both phones are already signed in to one Apple ID then use the settings app to change Apple IDs on one phone.
    Settings > iTunes and App Store > tap on the Apple ID > sign out > sign in with alternate Apple ID.
    Note that if you have downloaded apps with the original Apple ID on the phone with the new Apple ID, those apps will still be associated with the old Apple ID and will require the old ID and password in order to update them.

  • Do I need a different apple id for each device? I have two iPads and an iPod but can only purchase things on the first one. When I go to verify the questions they say they are wrong.

    Do I need a different apple ID for each device I have? I have two iPads and an iPod but I can only make purchases with the first one I purchased. It tells me the security questions are wrong but I know they are not because I wrote them down. I have also reset them and my password once. Please help if you can

    You can not login into iTunes or the App Store using VPP credentials. You must purchase all apps/book/etc.  from the VPP website. Then you can redeem the codes thru itunes/app store or import the codes thru apple configurator. Here is the url for the VPP website: https://volume.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/login?cc=us
    (It will not affect any of the apps you already have but the id can only be used for VPP.)

  • Can someone upload a photo of their itunes tv shows with multiple seasons? I am wondering if you get different artwork background for each season of that show.

    HI,
    I have upgraded to iTunes 11. Its good. Few bugs but good. Anyway, i have quite a few tv shows with multiple seasons. YOu know how album artwork in music has a theme for each album when you open it.... Is it the same for the differnt seasons in a show? I know a show has a theme but like there is different cover art for each season but only the first season cover art themes for the entire show. Is that how they all are or just mine. If so how do i fix it. Its not really a big deal but it is annoying me alot.
    Thanks

    Actually, for me, it displays the artwork for the second season of the show I have. This is because that season has the highest amount of high star-ratings for its episodes over the rest of the seasons. If you don't give ratings for your episodes, then it probably chose the first season by default. I think episode length also plays a factor, like it shows the artwork of the longest episode or something if star-ratings don't make a difference.

  • Can we create different reservation no for each auto PR created through PS.

    Hi Gurus
    With reference to above captioned subject, can we create different reservation no for each auto PR created through PS
    Thanks in advance
    Regards
    Abhijit Sen

    Hi,
    The reservation number will be same for all the material components in one network.
    so as long as there are "n" components in one networks then all the "'n" components will have the same reference number.
    If you need different reservation numbers then need to maintain those components in multiple networks.
    Hope its useful.
    Reward points if useful.

  • Different mail alerts for each email account

    Just got the new Verizon iPhone. Used BlackBerry for years. One feature of the BB that I think is missing from the iPhone is the ability to set different mail alerts for each email account. For instance, I would like to turn off alerts for my corporate Exchange account (for which I get 100 emails a day), but receive alerts for my Comcast and Gmail accounts.
    Am I correct that there is only one on or off feature for the iPhone for all accounts?

    That turns the account off for receiving mail as you provided, which I'm fairly certain the OP is not interested in.
    The OP wants to be able to turn the new mail alert sound off for one account while leaving it on for another account while all accounts are still checked for new messages.
    For instance, I would like to turn off alerts for my corporate Exchange account (for which I get 100 emails a day), but receive alerts for my Comcast and Gmail accounts.
