Can't change keyboard layout

I've bought my new Macbook when i traveled to US, though i live in Brazil. I just want my keyboard to have a brazilian layout, with the special characters, and stuff. I've already tried to go to International > Input Menu, and change its configuration, but even though the brazilian flag appears on my right-upper side of the screen, it doesn't change the keyboard layout at all!
I've set my Mac OS X Leo to be fully in English, 'cause i thought it wouldn't be a problem changing the layout. I don't want the whole software in portuguese, 'cause it really doesn't looks good. Some words are forgotten and other weird things happen. And I don't want the US layout keyboard all the time, 'cause i need to write some stuff in portuguese too.
Anyone has any sugestions? Anything to do with the initial setup?
Thanks in advance!

    Identifier "evdev keyboard catchall"
    MatchIsKeyboard "on"
    MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"

  • Change Keyboard Layout, But Keep Language

    I have a MacBook with USA keyboard layout.
    While installing, by mistake i selected Latin American keyboard.
    Now, i want my language to still be "Spanish/Argentina", but they keyboard layout should be USA.
    How can i do that? Note that I don't want to have many input keyboards and then have to switch between latin and english language.

    I don't see an option to change "keyboard layout" only.
    Do you really not see the Tab called Input Menu under system preferences/international? There are boxes to check for keyboard layouts, and one is called US.
    Another Tab is called Language, and there you can put Spanish (actually Español) at the top to keep your OS in Spanish.
    Another Tab, in the middle, is called Formats.
    PS If you want to type Spanish with the US layout, you can use the Option/Alt key shortcuts. A list can be found here:

  • Changing keyboard layout per user

    Hello together,
    On my Laptop the default keyboard layout for X is US-INTL. That"s what I am using.
    Sometimes my friends are using my Laptop, for them I have a seperate user account.
    But they would prefer using the germen (de) keyboard layout.
    Can I somehow change the keyboad layout during login (using a command in .xsession for example)?
    Thansk!
    Nathan

    Thanks for your reply!
    That would work.
    But I want to use XDM for login.
    I found xmodmap for changing keyboard layout.
    But
    xmodmap /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/de
    does not work.
    I guess xmodmap needs another filetype.

  • Can I change the layout of an IconItemRenderer?

    I've started working on a mobile application in Flex 4.5.1
    I'm using IconItemRenderer to display elements inside a draggable list.
    Problem is, the IconItemRenderer has a very specific layout:
    Icon on the left, title on the right and message at the bottom.
    If I want to place an image in the middle and have a textfield on each side it's not possible.
    My question is, can I change the layout of an IconItemRenderer, if not, how can achieve the layout I've stated earlier in an element inside a draggable list?
    Thanks.

    IconItemRenderer doesn't have a generic spark layout like other spark containers.  Instead it manually sizes and positions its elements for best performance.
    If you want to customize how these elements are positioned you will want to subclass IconItemRenderer and override the measure() and layoutContents() methods.

  • Changing keyboard layouts, the difficult way. Japanese layout into Dvorak.

    Hello,
    I was wondering if there is a way to change the keyboard layout systemwise.
    The thing is I usually use a keyboard layout that is very similar to dvorak, of course I have a working layout for this and that's what I'm using right now.
    But now and then, I need to write some japanese as well. What I would like to do is to remap the japanese layout into a dvorak table and still be able to get the shift-jis input.
    In windows it was possible to go into regedit and just change a string and voila you did it. Is there any similiar way in doing it in OSX?

    On a sidenote, the keyboard layout I'm using is downloaded off the internet and then installed, so I'm guessing the layouts that you can choose from are sort of pre-set.
    I have a couple downloaded layouts listed in mine, so I don't think these are pre-set. But I think they must be Roman (script) and perhaps must be installed in Home/Library/Keyboard Layouts. If you would like to send me your layout, I can see if there is a problem with it (tom at bluesky dot org).

  • How can I change a layout margin to print?

    Many thanks for the last bit of info. However, I designed a card to have .5" margins all round, but the right margin on the layout shows an extra 1/8th of an inch greater on the right margin than the .5" margin showing everywhere else. Why can I not change this margin. I designed a greeting card with a border on both sides of the card, and they don't match cause I can't change this one right side margin. I have looked on all the layout menus to see if there is a reason and just cannot find it. Any clues?

    I'm not sure if you're doing this in landscape view, but that could explain it. Many printers, especially ink jets, have a bigger bottom or trailing margin than the lead margin. The documentation that came with your printer may list minimum margins. Once you find which is the bigger, set both margins to that amount. Unfortunately, that may be bigger than you want.

  • Can't set keyboard layout in X

    Hello!
    Some days ago X stopped setting XkbLayout to "no" despite me having specified it in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/01-keyboard-layout.conf.
    The layout is different when setting it with setxkbmap, e.g. special AltGR characters like ] is gone.
    I use .conf files in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ and synaptics touchpad apparently works.

    Hey!
    I got some success with disabling iBus in .xinitrc:
    #### iBUS eviroment variables
    #export XIM="ibus"
    #export GTK_IM_MODULE="ibus"
    ##export QT_IM_MODULE="xim"
    #export QT_IM_MODULE="ibus"
    #export XMODIFIERS="@im=ibus"
    #ibus-daemon -d -x &
    as well as having this config in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/01-keyboard-layout.conf:
    Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "Keyboard Defaults"
    MatchIsKeyboard "yes"
    Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
    Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
    Option "XkbLayout" "no"
    Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
    # Option "XkbOptions" "compose:ralt, caps:escape, terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
    EndSection
    DIsabling iBus solved autoconfig of keyboard to "no", and the new config with the addition of XkbModel solved not being able to use AltGr. I recon there is some bug in iBus and the config for X has changed in some way. Also, writing ^ and ~ and other characters in URxvt works now, as it has not worked for a long time, probably some years. I always thought there had something to do with Awesome.

  • No access to S_ALV_LAYO, can still change a layout

    End user is executing transaction ME2S and is able to change layout.  When I checked he does have access to authorization object S_ALV_LAYO. I did a system trace and the authorization object is checked, gets a return code of 12. This authrization object is not being loaded into the user buffer, also in the system trace screen the line with this auth object is light green instead of dark green like the rest.
    Please check and suggest why this is happening and how this can be restricted.

    Hi Amit,
    From your post I understand that
    1. User is able to change the layout
    2. User profile has access to S_ALV_LAYO
    3. But still Trace is showing a non-zero return code for S_ALV_LAYO
    4. You want to restrict access to change layout for the user
    If this is the scenario, then try deactivating the object in all the available roles of the user, do a user comparision and see if he is still able to change the layout.
    Do let me know the outcome.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • Changing keyboard layout

    after upgrading to snow leopard, I'm unable to change my keyboard layout back to us-international.
    it's set to Brazilian, but my is us-international.
    my problem is that I could not un-mark Brazilian, like it's not an option
    thanks in advance

    make sure that you check the us international first before trying to unmark brazilian. it needs to have at least one layout marked at all times.

    Please help me how to set the Danish keyboard for all users on the machine. Its Urgent!Thanks

    Hi Mike,
    Thanks for reply.
    But I need to configure everything using powershell script. Is it possible to use powershell script to setting group policy/ adding logon script ?
    These are pretty basic administration tasks and almost always quicker to accomplish with the GUI. Why do you want to use a PowerShell script?

  • Unlock BIOS and change Keyboard layout MSI laptop GS70 2OD-002US

    Confirmation: 2CS96102H81542105
    My model is GS70 2OD-002US with Dual SSD RAID 0. I also have Ubuntu 14.04 installed in the RAID array besides Windows 8.1 (updated from Win 8 that came with the Laptop. 
    Could you please fully unlock my BIOS and add all the extra stuff you have? I also need to reconfigure my keyboard. I have attached an image of the layout I need, and the following are the changes explained.
    1. Swap Left CTRL and Left ALT
    2. Swap Fn and Windows Key
    3. Convert the "extra \ key" next to the spacebar into a HOME key
    4. Convert Right ALT GR key into an END key
    5. Convert Right CTRL into Right Click (pop-up menu key)
    6. Swap the Caps Lock Key and LEFT SHIFT key
    I installed the lastest BIOS from the MSI Site using the DOS method (70E) update. BIOS info is in the screenshot. After unlocking will I be able to set fan speeds from BIOS? If I want fan speed tweak should I give you the fan percentage that should be mapped to the temparature in C?
    Thank you so much for your effort. Hope you will PM me with further instructions.

    If i figure that i need something else will PM/email you for details
