Bug in Vietnamese input source

Hi all and sorry for my bad English,
I'm Vietnamese and Vietnamese Unikey is my default input sources. However, this input mode auto add a weird character every time I've moved cursor to another place. The weird character displayed difference depend on which application I'm working.
Please look at some screenshots below to understand what's I meant.

Thanks
Nguyen

For example: Tôi (you must input from keyboard: T o o i)
After that, press any arrow button (<-, ->, etc) then the weird character will be displayed.
Now I see it. Before I was always completing a word by hitting the space bar before doing anything else, or using the mouse.
The weird characters are from the Unicode Private Use Area, F702 and F703, which Apple has assigned to the Arrow keys for internal processing purposes. I think it is a bug for these to ever appear in text, and something only Apple can fix. You can let them know here:

Help required with Gnome 3 Input Sources

I used CapsLock before gnome 3.6 upgrade all working fine, however new Input Sources broke my system a little bit
I fixed my CapsLock by dconf-editor org\gnome\desktop\input-sources\xkb-options ['grp:caps_toggle', 'grp_switch', 'grp_led:caps'], but I can't get work
- language switch indicator not working
- show-flags does nothing anymore
Any help fit is required because of usability issues

Also, with Gnome 3.6 it's no longer possible to switch layouts with the Caps key. That setting is not available even in gnome-tweak-tool.
I figured out how to do make the settings a lot more flexible, and fix all the layout bugs introduced by 3.6. This is done by configuring everything through setxkbmap and not letting gnome interfere with the settings.
Remove all input sources, and the typing shortcuts from gnome keyboard settings window.
Open dconf-editor and remove everything from "org\gnome\desktop\input-sources\xkb-options". I was not able to set it to nothing, but setting it to ['grp_led:caps'] worked. These 2 steps were needed not to interfere with the config described below.
Install kbdd-git from aur, if you want separate layout for each window.
Create a script with preferred setxkbmap settings. Here is mine, setting Caps to switch languages, and swapping alt and win keys on MacBook.
#!/bin/sh
setxkbmap -layout us,ru
setxkbmap -option 'grp:caps_toggle'
setxkbmap -option 'altwin:swap_lalt_lwin'
# kbdd is needed to keep separate layout for each window.
`which kbdd` && kbdd
Launch gnome-session-properties and add this script to the list.

Input sources grey out after action on MacOS

Hello,
I have a problem with japanese input sources (Hiragana and Katakana). When I launch Indesign, I can use this in text box. But if I open my flex panel, and do an action on it (click on button, select texteinput, change checkbox...), the input source change to an other, this two sources are grey and I cannot go back to this to write katakana or hiragana in text box.
I don't have this problem on InDesign CS5 and CS5.5, only in CS6.
I talk about input sources which is on Mac : "System Preference"->"Language & Text"-> "Input Sources" (I put it on the menu bar to select it easily)
How can I go back to this input source ?
Thank you for your help.

Hello,
I try with a basic palette with just one button, and I have the same problem. My code is :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<csxs:CSExtension xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009" xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" xmlns:csxs="com.adobe.csxs.core.*" backgroundColor="#E3E3E3" width="100%" height="100%">
<s:Button label="Test Button" width="100%" height="100%"/>
</csxs:CSExtension>
Could you reproduce the problem ? Do you understand what happen ? Is it a bug on InDesign CS6 ?
Please advise.

Unable to unlock computer due to impossibility to switch between input sources

I cannot unlock my computer after wake up under the following circumstances.
- In System Preferences - Language and Text - Input Sources, I have the following input sources:
- US
- Bulgarian
- In System Preferences - Language and Text - Input Sources, I've chosen the "Allow a different one for each document" option
- My shortcut for "select previous input source" is Cmd-Space
- In System Preferences - Security and Privacy - General, I've chosen "Require password 5 seconds after sleep or screen saver begins"
- My password for login is using US layout characters only
- In System Preferences - Desktop & Screen Saver - Hot Corners, I've chosen "Put Display to Sleep" on the lower right corner, others are empty.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open Safari and switch to Bulgarian keyboard layout with Cmd-Space
2. Use the trackpad to direct cursor in the lower right corner in order to activate screen sleep
3. Wait 5 seconds for the lock to be engaged
4. Wake up the computer with the trackpad or keyboard and enter your password to unlcok the computer
Result: The password dialog is shaking, suggesting the password is wrong. If I try to change the input source by pressing Cmd-Space, there is a sound heard from the OS X suggesting I am pressing a shortcut which isn't allowed. There's no visual menu to switch between keyboard layouts. I am most probably stuck with the last keyboard layout used on the last open application which is Bulgarian and since my password is in US, I cannot unlock the computer. I need to reset my computer by holding down the power button in order to be able to log in again.
This is the first time I felt my Mac is letting me down. To be honest, I can't understand how such a critical bug has managed to go unnoticed by the quality assurance team at Apple.

Similar probs here as those reported in initial mail of this thread.
OS X 10.9.2.
Two input sources installed.
Both are lattin based. No Cyryllic, nor far East, nor Judish, nor Arabic,....
Simply two lattin based input sources - keyboards.
Even under lattin keyboards there are different key layouts.
I know one possible difference: qwerty and qwertz.
Possibly there are more other layouts than these two.
Lets assume these two input sources, layouts: 1 and 2.
For certain user account the password was set while layout 1 was selected.
Then the user edits some texts, he selects for this keyboard layout/input source 2.
User makes Sleep OS X, or logs off.
Layout 2 keeps to be active.
User wants to unlock the mac.
It is not possible because password is konform with layout 1,
at the time of unlocking however layout 2 is selected.
It is not possible to select the another layout - user can not unlock os x.

Keyboard input source change not being saved.

Since upgrading to 10.9 my original French spec Mac Mini reverts to French Keyboard input source when I close down, even after resetting keyboard input source to British PC on the login screen when booting up. Is there a more permanent setting option stored elsewhere?

Hi Brendan,
Thanks for the link. I did go into system preferences and checked that British was the default setting. In fact it was the only setting. Have subsequently done a bit more research. Up to now I have been changing input source at the initial login screen from French to British. I have just typed my username and password in using a French keyboard layout without changing the input source from French. It gets me in and the default input source is showing as British, which it is picking up from the system preferences. So there must be a setting somewhere that is specific to the login screen.
Done some more searching online and it looks like it may be a bug!
https://discussions.apple.com/message/23769843#23769843
There seem to be a few workarounds https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5485931
However, I have not worked at this level on a Mac before having a background in Windows support, Only recently getting a Mac. The last comment looks like some kind of Unix stuff, which I know OSX is based on. Is there an idiots step by step guide anywhere to carry out the plist edit etc?

Input source (input language) changes incorrectly

Snow Leopard finally has this beautiful feature to save the input source state for every application! I've missed this very much. But... It doesn't work for me correctly.
The problem:
SnowLeo doesn't remember the input source for every application and changes randomly. Here's example: I'm opening Safari, Mail and TextEdit (all native Leo apps), writing in English in Safari + Mail and in Bulgarian in TextEdit. When switching applications the input language doesn't stay the same - after TexEdit , Safari must stay with English, but I'm writing in Bulgarian. And so on.
What I've tried:
As I said, this happens totally random, I've spent a LOT of time trying to find out some logical pattern or something, but with no luck. I tried to switch languages with mouse only, to disable the keyboard shortcut, to change the language (I've tried Canadian I think), to use different applications, to quit (almost) every process, different account an even different MacOS install on a external USB HDD!!! Funny, but on the fresh installed OS I had the same bug for 10-15 min. and then (after the same tests as before) it somehow disappeared (I think). The same was with the different account on my original HDD - the first time the problem was here, then it just wasn't here. TOTALLY unusual and with no logic at all!!!
I have some friends with Macs and everyone of us is using English and Bulgarian input layouts. And Nobody has a problem except me!
I have 15 years of computer experience (3 of them with Macs) and I'm working as a System administrator, so it's natural for me to troubleshoot all kind of problems, but after month I gave up on this!
The MacMini and the MacOS are both legal with nothing strange connected.

I use 2 keyboard layouts : canadian french for most of my applications (Pages, Microsoft Word, etc) and US English for Photoshop because most Photoshop keyboard shortcuts don't work in canadian french.
The problem is that even if I set Photoshop to US english, it reverts to Canadian French. It usually happens when I switch applications or hide Photoshop and bring it back up again. It is very annoying and the only way I found to stop this, is to turn off "Allow a different one for each document" in the Input Sources preferences pane. I thought the purpose of this option was to assign a different input source or keyboard layout to different applications.

Input source in Login Window - how to change?

Hello,
I have a Belgian keyboard and I need my default input source to be Belgian.
Problem with Login Window : since I installed Mavericks the default input source in the Login Window is always "U.S." In the upper right corner of that screen I can change it to Belgian but how do I change it * permanently * to Belgian ?
Thanks for any help available.

I am convinced that by entering the right values in
Macintosh HD>Library>Preferences>com.apple.HIToolbox.plist
you can turn around the problem.
But this is a bug. So instead of starting tinkering with that plist I'm waiting for these guys in Cupertino to come up with an official fix in the upcoming release 10.9.1 (some time November, I am told) or 10.9.2 (some time before year-end, as the rumor has it).

How do I add more channels to my input source?

I'm trying to record my son's band on a iBook in the rehearsal studio, and would like to also do this type of recording on my iMac here at home, so how do I add more channels to my input source for simultaneous multi-track recording. Right now I am only getting 2 mono and 1 stereo channels.
Ultimately I would like to add the maximum amount (probably 8 tracks), and still be able to record simultaneously with at least one guitar, one bass, one vocal mike, and the drums on one mike...
According to Hangtimes/Garage Door website, this is a possibility, but first I must create more channels.
Please help. THANKS...

My input source is a Tascam US-144 USB Interface that has 2 mic in's, and 2 line in's for guitar/bass.
I would like to separately record each input on different channels simultaneously.
You might also want to check out the M-Audio NRV10, which is a hybrid analog mixer + firewire audio interface (with I think around 10 simultaneously available separate channels), which makes it very "band friendly" for both rehearsal and recording.

How to restore the languages in the input sources under 'Language and Text'

Dear all,
Recently, I am trying to free up my disk space on my macbook and I downloaded this software call Monolingual. Basically, it removes languages that you do not use to free up the disk space.
However, I accidentally remove the language that I use which is Japanese and now it seems like I cannot find it anywhere under the input sources of language and text.
Does anybody know how I can restore everything back to normal?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Alfred

I think you will have to reinstall your OS. If you are running Yosemite, see
OS X Yosemite: Reinstall OS X
Best to avoid Monolingual and simlar "cleaning" utilties if possible, it is too easy to make mistakes that destroy parts of you system.
Your problem has nothing to do with your hardware, so in the futue it would be best to use the software forums for similar questions:

How to have same keyboards input source in Mac and Windows???

I run Windows over Parallels Desktop
Can anybody help?
Thank you

Can I use an AirPort Extreme Base Station "n"
Yes.
and if so, will my MacBook work with this at maximum download / upload speed (i.e. equivalent to the cable)
The speed of your internal network generally is much much faster than the speed of your internet connection. Unless he has an internet connection faster than approx 6Mbps then even dropping down to the old 802.11b Airport would not seen any decrease in speed of downloads etc...
and will my brother's PC's also be able to connect?
If his PC is 802.11b/g-compliant, it shouldn't have any problems connecting to the AirPort base station.
Or is there another Airport base station?
The other AirPorts would work, but the AirPort Express & older 802.11g AirPort Extreme base stations have a max. range of 150 feet.
OR-- should I head down to "Generic Computer Store" and just by a wireless router (WiFi)(think that's what they call them) and connect this to his cable modem? IF SO WILL THAT WORK FOR MY MAC?
That is always an option as well, especially since he will be the primary user throughout the year. I'd suggest going with a brand name, like Belkin, D-Link, or Linksys for the wireless router choice.

Indicator of changing Input Source

Hi all,
today I noticed strange thing. I'm used to have 2 input sources and change them using Cmd+Alt+Space, but I do'nt like to show the Input menu in menu bar. In earlier versions of OS X there was an indication shown temporarily in the centre of display, something like volume indicator. But in OS X Yosemite this indicator is missing :-(. Is it possible to allow some option to show this list again? Or will this be back in some future upgrade? I really miss this feature, because I don't need to show the input menu in menu bar, but also when changing the input source to see which input is active.
With regards
Petr B.

How to get input source line number

I wrote a XSLT transformation that checks the input XML for errors.
When the transformer finds a problem, it can terminate with <xsl:message terminate="yes">, which outputs the line number within the transformer XML source. I do so in my implementation to indicate errors.
But i need to output the line number of the input source, not that of the transformer source, because this is the location of the error.
Anybody knows how to do this?
How can i get the current line number of the input source XML text?

Hello Fritz!
XALAN reads the entire input file (SAX) before starting with transformation.
So overriding the input stream is no way to find this line number.
I think this would have to be a built-in XSLT functionality within the tag "xsl:message".

How do I add a new input source in OS X lion?

I'm a linguist who uses a piece of software called IPA palette (http://www.blugs.com/IPA/) to type special characters. I've just upgraded my laptop to Lion, and I no longer have access to this palette. When I look under input sources, it doesn't show up. How can I make this software work with Lion?

Hi, I'm the developer of IPA Palette. Stumbled on this question only a moment ago and thought I'd address it for the record. I don't now recall whether installing Lion clobbered my existing IPA Palette installation or not. In any case, I can with high confidence state that IPA Palette has been tested on Lion and works well, so re-installing would be the recommended way to try to get it back in play.
Hope this helps.

How do I add an input source besides English in Gnome Shell? [SOLVED]

Hello.
I'm a bit confused as to how I should add additional languages/input sources in Gnome Shell. When I ran Gnome Shell in Ubuntu, I could add additional input sources via the Region & Language section of the Gnome control panel, but in Arch I've only got English (my locale is en_US.UTF-8). I'd like to be able to switch between English & Hebrew.
Do I need to install an underlying gnome package for handling additional input sources? Or do I need to manually add a locale? The wiki seems unclear on this. Also, should I use localectl? I'm also a bit unsure there.
Thanks!

I think so.
Edit the file at /etc/locale.gen and un-comment the desired locale then run:

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.
