Changing keyboard style problem!!!

Hi,
In non-english Os,the character that returned from the keyboard isn`t an ascii character.When i define some method or keymap that change latin keyboard to for example a farsi keyboard it works well on an english Os but not works well on a non-english OS, because of the keymap couldn`t realize the non-ascii character. I can do this to map each non-ascii character to characters that i want apeare in GUI, but it doesn`t work on other non-english Os and i must define a keymap for each non-english Os that i want to use, and this is impossible.
In other words, i want to define a keymap that independent from Os language or an access to keyboard that returns the keys in ascii way on any non-english Os, or some method that can convert all the non-ascii character that get from the keyboard into ascii character that keymap
can realize which character is for which key.
Thank you in advance

Maybe if you map stuff for each machine separately in
custom setup, you could recognize the keys correctly.Hi,
How can i do it?
it`s my question.
Thank you,

Satellite P20-304: Change keyboard, decision problems..

I want to replace the old keyboard by a new one, but i don know which i should order. I found 2 different types: manufacturer-id: K000006120 and K000015440 but cannot decide which is the right one, because they seem to be the same?!
To post a real question: What is the manufacturer-id of the right keyboard for my p20-304??

This question can be answered only by an service partner!!!
The K000 numbers seems to be an internal Toshiba numbers and therefore its not easy to find out what part is compatible or not.
Make a call to the Toshiba authorized service provider guys in your country and ask for the right part and order it.
good luck

Calling1.4.1 signed applet from Javascript causes keyboard/focus problems

Pretty sure there's a JRE bug here, but I'm posting to forums before I open one in case I'm missing something obvious :-)
This issue may be specific to IE, I haven't tested elsewhere yet. Our web application is centered around a signed applet that is initialized with XML data via Javascript. We first noticed the problem when our users started upgrading from the 1.3.x plug-in to the 1.4.x plug-in. The major symptom was that shortcut keys stopped working. I debugged the problem off and on for about a month before I boiled it down to a very simple program that demonstrates the issue (included below). Basically, the program has a function that adds a JButton to a JPanel and registers a keyboard listener (using the new DefaultKeyboardFocusManager class) that prints a message to the console. This function is called by the applet's init() method, as well as by a public method that can be called from Javascript (called callMeFromJavascript()). I also included a very simple HTML file that provides a button that calls the callMeFromJavascript() method. You can test this out yourself: To recreate, compile the class below, JAR it up, sign the JAR, and put in the same dir with the HTML file. Load the HTML file in IE 5.0 or greater, and bring the console up in a window right next to it. Now click the button that says init--you should see the small box appear inside the button that indicates it has the focus. Now press some keys on your keyboard. You should see "KEY PRESSED!!!" appearing in the console. This is proper behavior. Now click the Init Applet from Javascript button. It has removed the button called init, and added one called "javascript". Press this button. Notice there is no focus occurring. Now press your keyboard. No keyboard events are registered.
Where is gets interesting is that if you go back and make this an unsigned applet, and try it again, everything works fine. This bug only occurs if the applet is signed.
Furthermore, if you try it in 1.3, signed or unsigned, it also works. So this is almost certainly a 1.4 bug.
Anyone disagree? Better yet, anyone have a workaround? I've tried everything I could think of, including launching a thread from the init() method that sets up the components, and then just waits for the data to be set by Javascript. But it seems that ANY communication between the method called by Javascript and the code originating in init() corrupts something and we don't get keyboard events. This bug is killing my users who are very reliant on their shortcut keys for productivity, and we have a somewhat unique user interface that relies on Javascript for initialization. Any help or suggestions are appreciated.

I tried adding the requestFocus() line you suggested... Same behavior.
A good thought, but as I mention in my description, the applet has no trouble gaining the focus initially (when init() is called). From what I have seen, it is only when the call stack has been touched by Javascript that I see problems. This is strange though: Your post gave me the idea of popping the whole panel into a JFrame... I tried it, and the keyboard/focus problem went away! It seems to happen only when the component hierarchy is descended from the JApplet's content pane. So that adds yet another variable: JRE 1.4 + Signed + Javascript + components descended from JApplet content pane.
And yes, signed or unsigned DOES seem to make a difference. Don't ask me to explain why, but I have run this little applet through quite a few single variable tests (change one variable and see what happens). The same JAR that can't receive keyboard events when signed, works just fine unsigned. Trust me, I'm just as baffled as you are.

Looking for "Change Keyboard Type"-Button

Hi. After installing Snow Leopard my Keyboard (from Cherry) works a bit wrong (some keys have wrong characters). I think there is something wrong with identification of the keyboard and wand to change it's type. "Help" (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/8962.html) says:
1. Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and then click Keyboard.
2. Click Change Keyboard Type.
The problem is, that there is no such Button "Change Keyboard Type" in Keyboard Prefs!
So where can I change the type?
Thanks,
JB

Hello Tom,
I'm using two layouts - one is German and one is Russian-PC (Russian layouts are a little different for PCs and Macs). I don't know if it matters, but the system is running in English.
I still believe, that the problem is in keyboard configuration. As I was installing 10.6, system asked me to "Press a button next to the left Shift" to identify, which type of keyboard I use. I didn't understand what the system wants from me and pressed a wrong key (I believe, I tried to press "Escape" but instead pressed the "^" key).
Exactly the same thing happend to me a couple of times as I was installing 10.5.x - this message for Keyboard config is some kind of, I dunno, magic for me (or some poor interface design) - I always miss the point, and I've always pressed the wrong key. But in 10.5. there was a possibility to run keyboard identification once again from "Keyboard" menu (and so says "Help", too). But there is no more this button and I don't know if there were any other way to run identification again. (I've tried to plug-out and plug-in again, but it didn't help).
Thanks for your help, I look forward to try to change layouts.

Word Crashes after changing the style of 'Bullets'

Hi,
I hope someone can help me this problem. The problem occurs when I use Microsoft Word 2004 for Mac.
Word crashes when I go into the Formatting Palette > Bullets and Numbering and then try to change the style of the bullet. I noticed that in the drop down box of bullet styles there are two or three blanks spaces rather than an actual bullet. Then when I move the mouse over the blank entries in order to click on an actual bullet style, Word crashes.
Should I uninstall Word and then reinstall it? Or is there a much simpler way of fixing the problem?
I have only had my MacBook for 10 days and I am already having so many problems with Microsoft Word.
Thanks in advance.
Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Since Word is not an Apple product, you'll get better response if you use a forum dedicated to Microsoft's Mac products such as <http://groups.google.com/groups/dir?sel=33607053> rather than an Apple forum.
Be sure to search the forum first in case someone has already had a similar question answered. You'll get your answer faster this way. Post your question in the forum if you don't find anything that helps you.

How to change the style of the main application window shell

Hello,
I am migrating my application from eclipse 3.x to eclipse 4.3 and I want to set the style of the main application window i.e. the shell that is created in application MTrimmedWindow in e4.
Earlier we were doing it using
IWorkbenchWindowConfigurer configurer = getWindowConfigurer();
configurer.setInitialSize(new Point(0, 0));
configurer.setShowCoolBar(false);
configurer.setShowStatusLine(false);
configurer.setShellStyle(SWT.DIALOG_TRIM | SWT.RESIZE);
But now in e4 application after reading some forum replies I got to know that custom renderer needs to be created for that.
I created my own renderer extending WBWRenderer and as I wanted to change the style of shell I am overriding createWidget method.
Now the problem is that if I am just creating a new shell in this createWidget method then it is not working. Might be because this method has a lot of other code also.
So I copied all this code into my overridden method of createWidget & just changed the style of shell according to my need. Then this worked but for this I have to put some private methods also into my custom renderer class from WBWRenderer.
SO my question is to confirm that if I am doing it in a right way?
or is there any other mechanism to do this in a more efficient way?
Thanks

This can now be solved with a specific "persisted state" key flag, as documented in https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=386951 . For example to realize a NO_TRIM window, add the key/value styleOverride/8, where 8 is the value if you get the numeric of
int val = SWT.NO_TRIM;
System.out.println(val);

Potential keyboard hardware problem T410

Dear all,
since yesterday I have been experiencing a problem with my T410, which is potentially due to
a hardware issue with the keyboard.
A few specific keys are not working anymore. These seem to be the Power On key, the Fn key,
the Alt Gr key, and the ThinkVantage key.
I am assuming it is a keyboard hardware problem, since I cannot use the Power On button to
start the laptop. Fortunately, this is possible using the fingerprint reader start-up.
When the laptop is running (using Windows 7) everything is working fine, except the mentioned
buttons. I cannot access any Fn button functions (e.g. the reading lamp) or Alt Gr symbols (e.g.
the @ symbol which is on my keyboard on the 2 button) or power down with the Power button.
I tried various easy fixes:
* Making sure all drivers are up to date
* Remove and reattach the keyboard
* Static discharge procedure (unplug all power, 10 presses and 30 sec holding of power button)
* Checking Bios settings
* Replace battery
Unfortunately, these did not change the situation.
I am wondering if the simultaneous malfunctioning of these specific buttons points to a certain
hardware problem. I hope a replacement of the keyboard might solve this, but it could be an
issue with the motherboard.
Any hints would be welcome.
Thank you,
MH
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Dear all,
thank you for your suggestions. Unfortunately, it was not the keyboard. It appears to
be a more serious problem. In fact, since yesterday the laptop does not boot correctly
anymore. The boot process is started, but I only end up with a black screen, and some
randomly colored first few lines at the top of the display.
It all points to a major malfunction. Unfortunately, the warranty expired 3 months ago...
Regards,
mh

PS, OS X and Norwegian Apple keyboard, shortcut problems

I have searched high and low (forums, google etc) for a solution to my problem. I am becoming quite desperate and thought it wise to post. It might be an odd problem that only a few of us have, since it relies on a non-US keyboard. I might share my problem with more people than I realise.
My problem is Photoshop and keyboard shortcuts.
E.g. I am using Magentic Lasso Tool and want to increase or decrease the tolerance level or I am using a brush and I want to increase or decrease brush size. These commands rely on [,],{,} and similar keys. Especially when using Magentic Lasso Tool (I use that and brush a lot for masking) I need to increase and decrease contrast.
On a Norwegian Apple keyboard [,],{,} and similar keys are mapped with pressing the ALT + 8 and 9 or ALT + SHIFT 8 and 9 accordingly. Photoshop doesn't recognize ALT + or ALT + SHIFT modifiers. It just doesn't work and I can't access the shortcuts.
I can't use the mouse to navigate to Tolerance either, as with Magentic Lasso Tool it will create a path upwards in the canvas towards the toolbar and when I click the value box to change it will complete the current path to selection.
I thought I'd be smart and change the shortcut in Tools from [,] to ALT + 8 and 9, but Photoshop denies me this with the message "Opt+8 is an invalid shortcut. You can only use a single character for tool shortcuts."
I can map the keys to something else and sacrifice another important shortcut of course. This would just cause more problems down the line.
I know there are users or lurkers in this forum with a similar problem. Anyone up for giving me my sanity back?

Exactly. Bad translations and the lack of application-updates were the main reasons I originally switched to US English versions years and versions ago. Unfortunately I need to use Swedish localized versions at work so I still see the lousy translations.
For those of you who are only using English and living in English speaking countries, note that the problem is that keyboards that come with the machines are localized to your area and if you change keyboard layout the layout of the keys do not match what is under them. Does make it hard to work unles you glue something to the keys or create an overlay (remember those?) for the keyboard. That means that for isntance you cannot reach the tilde key (just an example, there are other ones too) but by using yet other keys to get there. That's what breaks the shortcut.
Editing keyboard shortcuts in each and every version of the applications is usally also not an option (and in some apps those shortcuts - if they can be called shortcuts when they contain around 4 keys...) as the shortcuts do not even reside in a selfcontained file that you can move to other machines, but is embedded into other settings. Or hardcoded into the application an unreachable. And not portable between versions.
Changing keyboard layout in Internationl is not an option either.
The only application that is semi-smart is actually Bridge where you can set your keyboard prefs to another keyboard layout than the one you use for the application itself (Bridge is multi-lingual like OS X) and then the shortcuts follow with that setting. On the other hand you cannot edit shortcuts in Bridge. Bridge is also a limited application when it comes to features and shortcuts which makes this esier from an engeneering view I would guess. The other Adobe apps are far more complex in that regard (and if a short-cut would be changed in favour of the international users in for instance Illustrator, you would hear a roar you wouldn't believe from those Illustrator users....those are a conservative bunch).
The only solution that would be a good one would be if there would be no hardcoded shortcuts at all that are tied to one keyboard layout only, the US English one, but would use keys that can be used regardless of keyboard layout used at user end. I've fought for this for many years but so far only with limited success.

Change keyboard commands in Lightroom

It should be possible to change keyboard commands in Lightroom. Like in Photoshop.
The problem I have on my Swedish keyboard is to toggle between grid and loupe mode. With the "`" key. Is it possible somehow to reassign to another key? Its really annoying. Its a very useful shortcut. :-)

I am having similiar difficulties with the german keyboard and the english LR - a workaround i use is autohotkey a little prg that lets you use macros and reassign keys.. good luck

Illustrator Crashing - When changing Font Styles

Illustrator keeps crashing every time I try and change font styles on a piece of copy

Hi Selina,
Two possible (maybe the most probable) causes could be:
Corrupt font(s) or A font caches issue
For Troubleshooting Corrupted Fonts:

To Clear the Font cache for Mac:
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/troubleshoot-fonts-mac-os-x.html
(It can also help if you are on Mac to boot in safe mode)
Have you installed extra fonts or maybe a Font management Progam.
If you removed the installed fonts or disable the font management progam you get the same results?
Hopefully this will help you solve the problem.

"Change Keyboard Type" dosen't show in Keyboard Preferences

I am using Logitech wireless solar keyboard. But today my iMac doesn't recognize the keyboard. I tried it with another iMac, and it worked. So I tried to reset and paired the keyboard with the first iMac. But one thing I noticed was that in this iMac, the "Change Keyboard Type" in Keyboard Preferences is not showing. The OS I am using is the most recent, and the same with the other iMac. In fact, this iMac is newer than the second one. Can anyone help me solve this problem? Right now I am typing with Apple wireless keyboard. Thank you in advance.

Thanks for your suggestions but they haven't solved the problem for the iMac. Right now we are using a work-around by having students type their text in Text Edit and then paste it into FCP. This is very strange. As I said before the keyboard works in all other applications, is set to US standard layout and allows certain key commands like copy, cut and paste. We've tried deleting and reinstalling FCP with a shutdown in between and the problem persists. Has anyone else heard of this happening to another Mac? Thanks.

A possible solution for "foreight language keyboard shortcut" problem...

Hi(Bonjour)!
Everyone know the problem of losy keyboard layout when Final Cut is used with foreight language keyboard. We loose the COMMAND-Q shorcut.
As PieroF suggested in many posts in final cut express forum, there is a workaround:
"+I just installed Leopard and I ran into this keyboard shortcut problem.+
+I can confirm that:+
+a. the problem exists also with the Italian keyboard (in addition to other languages, as pointed by other posters)+
+b. the workaround I described in my previous answer works fine :+
+- close FCE (if open)+
+- open System Preferences/International/Language+
+- drag English to the first place on top of the other languages+
+- drag your own language (Italian in my case) again on top of English (at the end the window will show the same original settings, but something happened in the heart of Leopard...)+
+- close System Preferences+
+- open FCE: now all shortcuts work as expected, and are correctly listed with their corresponding menu commands+
+It's a workaround, it's not convenient (I'd better have this bug fixed), but apparently you have to apply it only once for each system startup.+
Piero "
As stated by Piero, you have to follow this procedure after each computer startup.
I found a way to restore the COMMAND-Q shortcut with the keyboard and mouse system pref panel.
Simply add Final Cut application and add a +custom shotcut+. Be careful to type exactly the "Quit Final Cut Express" menu.
This solution allows to restart the computer.
It's work with Final Cut Express and Final Cut Pro under Leopard 10.5.4.
Michel Boissonneault

Hi Michel,
I like your suggestion because the keyboard shortcuts defined in the system preferences do not require redefinition at each startup. So in theory we could define all missing/wrong shortcuts this way, and not only the cmd-Q as you suggested. Boring, but we could do it once for all.
The only problem is that I don't know how to define shortcuts for submenus, for example "Render Selection/Both": it seems system preferences allows only to define shortcuts for the menu ("Render Selection" - in this case absolutely useless) but not for the submenu.
Do you know a way ? (I looked in the help, which didn't... help).
Piero

Weird dreamweaver keyboard mapping problem

weird dreamweaver keyboard mapping problem:
Hope this solution helps someone out. If you have q's, ask
and I will try to help.
I was having a weird problem in dreamweaver... Whenever I was
in code view and typed "shift+i" to make a capital "I", instead it
would paste from the clipboard.
I finally figured out what was happening. I compared the
menu.xml in my app support folder in the user library to the
original menu.xml file that was in the application folder. I went
through until I came across the diff:
menu.xml in my library/app support folder:

<shortcut key="Cmd+Ins" name="Copy2" platform=""
command="if (dw.canClipCopy()) { dw.clipCopy() }"
domRequired="FALSE" id="DWShortcuts_HTMLSource_Copy2" />
<shortcut key="Shift+Ins" name="Paste2" platform=""
command="if (dw.canClipPaste()) { dw.clipPaste() }"
domRequired="FALSE" id="DWShortcuts_HTMLSource_Paste2" />
<shortcut key="Shift+Del" name="Cut2" platform=""
command="if (dw.canClipCut()) { dw.clipCut() }" domRequired="FALSE"
id="DWShortcuts_HTMLSource_Cut2" />
orig menu.xml file:

<shortcut key="Cmd+Ins" name="Copy2" platform=""
command="if (dw.canClipCopy()) { dw.clipCopy() }"
domRequired="FALSE" id="DWShortcuts_HTMLSource_Copy2" />
<shortcut key="Shift+Ins" name="Paste2" platform=""
command="if (dw.canClipPaste()) { dw.clipPaste() }"
domRequired="FALSE" id="DWShortcuts_HTMLSource_Paste2" />
<shortcut key="Shift+Del" name="Cut2" platform=""
command="if (dw.canClipCut()) { dw.clipCut() }" domRequired="FALSE"
id="DWShortcuts_HTMLSource_Cut2" />
There was a diff in the "platform=" tags. The orig stated
[platform="win"], my config stated [platform=""] (nothing in
between the ""'s). So, I reset the platform tag to be
[platform="win"] in my settings and then relaunched dreamweaver. It
fixed the problem.
Not sure how this occurred, but it works now.
