"Choose input method" is behind keyboard so I can't use it

I just upgraded to Kit Kat on my Galaxy S4, and I can no longer pick my preferred keyboard because the "choose input method" dialog does not close the keyboard when it opens like it used to, and so half of the dialog is hidden behind the keyboard.  Normally I would hit the back button to close the keyboard, except this closes the input selector dialog instead.  How do I change my active keyboard?

OK, I can change the default keyboard from the settings panel, but that means I have to go into settings every time I need to change it (and I often switch back and forth between a few of them depending on what app I'm using because some keyboards are better suited for different tasks).  So the question then becomes is Verizon aware of this problem and how do I make sure they are so it gets fixed in the next update? (and how long before that update?)

  • All Languages with "Input Method" Other Than "Keyboard" Inaccessible

    Sometime earlier today, I lost the ability to type in both Simplified and Traditional Chinese (and in Tamil, Korean and Japanese, essentially those listed to have their input methods as "Input Method" under the "International" pane in "System Preferences"). I have no idea what happened, as I didn't install any updates or do anything with my Mac. I had left it alone for a couple of hours as I went to do some other stuff; before that, I had been able to type in the said languages without problem.
    I've tried a lot of things. Googling gave some solutions such as creating a new user account and copying its com.apple.systempreferences.plist from /Users/Library/Preferences (the said languages also work fine in the new user account). Tried that; no luck. I've fiddled around with the preferences under the "International" pane so much that I think I can memorise them by heart, and yet nothing has worked. The languages just don't show up on the language/input bar. All other languages that are listed to have input method as "keyboard" under the "International" pane are fine.
    Any ideas what might have gone wrong? Help is much appreciated.

    Hi Tom,
    Thanks for the prompt reply! I've just tried that, but unfortunately it doesn't work. I got rid of all the com.apple.---.plist in the folder and rebooted; didn't work. I even copied all the .plist from the new user account to the old user account, but that didn't work either. I'm beginning to wonder whether or not it's some other problem somewhere in the machine that I'm overlooking.
    Thanks.

  • About Input method of TextBox/TextField .

    Hi,
    The model of My mobile is NokiaXXXX. I know the textbox (TextBox/TextField) allows user to change the input methods ( ie : "abc", "Abc", "ABC", "Asia language input method" and etc) by '#' key. Can I use control it in MIDP ? I mean there has got any method to change the input-method in coding ?
    And I want to write an application supports Internationalization (ie : supports English / Chinese language), those input methods are provided by the phone OS or we have to write the input method by ourselves ?
    Please give me some advices. Thx. :)

    Hm, i don't understand your intention. On Siemens and Nokia, the change of T9's behavior is the same: if you're in a TextField you may change the input method and language within the boundaries of your mobile. So i think, you don't have to implement your own. Incidentally it's not possible to implement your own input method using java (as far as i know, only the new Motorolla supports java-enabled access to it's T9-impl)

  • How can I keep my original keyboard mapping in different input methods?

    Hi!
    i have a question about my keyboard mapping. my powerbook has a german keyboard. and i switch frequently my input methods between german and simplified chinese(ITABC), which was all fine. but after upgrading to Leopard, when i switch to ITABC input method, my keyboard mapping changed along with this input method to chinese keyboard mapping! which annoys me a lot! this did not happen before when i was in Tiger!
    could someone please tell me how to keep my original keyboard mapping (at least the alphabets) when i switch to ITABC?
    Thanks a lot!

    in german input, the key "Y" and "Z" are opposite comparing with normal english keyboard. and in chinese input method, the "y" and "z" are mapped just as normal english keyboard.
    what happens now is, in ITABC input method, "y" and "z" are mapped as normal english keyboard, which is not like that before when i was using tiger.
    Thanks for the info! You should definitely ask about this on the Chinese-Mac list. Keyboard mapping with the Apple Chinese IM's has long been a problem, and is one reason many people are moving to QIM:

    I suspect something has changed in the Chinese IM with Leopard to mess this up for you, and it may not be fixable.

  • Make a Unicode Input method: Sinhala (phonetic)

    I'm planning to make a input method for sinhala. And Is there a good documentations on this (how to, guidelines .etc)?
    And I specially want to assign multiply keys to a one character. Like alt + a to å; but not like that; I want to do like this a+h = <ah> (single phonetic character). Is this capable with OS X? I want to do like this way 'cause I'm doing a phonetic one. So typing is more easier than the regular method.

    The normal way to make keyboards is with Ukelele:
    http://scripts.sil.org/ukelele
    It comes with instructions. There is a Sinhala example here
    http://web.nickshanks.com/typography/
    Making an input method is harder, and whether you can do exactly what you want I don't know. You might see

  • PO creation using LSMW through batch input method

    Hi, I am new to working with LSMW and i have completed a project for creating purchase orders using the direct data input method. I need to do the same using batch input method, however in the maintain structure relationship step, it is only allowing me to assign one structure to the recording that i have done, however in po creation we need separate (nested) structure for header and line item, could anybody help me past this please?

    Hi Rudra!
    OK, now you just know, why you have only one line, not multiple PO item lines. To get a dynamic number of items, you need a complex program - just like standard direct input.
    If you need a field, which is not part of this program, don't try to write your own program for batch input - it's just to much work before you have a good result.
    You can use Bapi method instead with BAPI_PO_CREATE1. This can handle a lot of fields and there is some documentation available how to fill the Bapi.
    If this looks to complicated in the first moment, think about creation of POs via direct input and a small batch recording to change your additional field(s) afterwards. (You can select EKPO table to generate list of 'wrong' migrated orders for input in LSMW.) Use field 'Item' in the bottom of ME22 to position your desired line in first screen line, just change one PO-line after one other (every time a 'save' -> no problem with different number of lines / PO).
    Regards,
    Christian

  • Can I use "\" to input "¥" symbol under Japanese locale?

    Hi, I'm a Mac developer and I want to know the standard behavior for Mac when press "\" key under Japanese locale. Should Mac display "\" or "¥" symbol? I notice that Windows will show "¥", but many Mac applications just show "\", so I want to make clear is this is Mac's standard behavior.
    Another question is, how can I input "¥" under Japanese locale? Is "Opt+Y" the only choice I can choose?

    do you mean that binding a key to which character is just defined by the keyboard layout/input method? For example, if I input "\" through Kotoeri Hiragana input, it's that input's thing to decide what should output?
    Yes. The result of pressing a key with a particular symbol printed on it is determined by the .keylayout file or input method which is active at the time. Using the US physical keyboard with the input set to Kotoeri Hiragana, pressing the key marked \ produces へ　in direct Kana mode or \　in the normal mode.

  • I can't use my keyboard for long in CS4 - very odd

    I have 2 computers and when I try to use the keyboard for shortcuts on my second computer, some weird dialog with chinese characters pops up shortly after I start using the keyboard and I can't use the keyboard for shortcuts after that point, ever. I'm pretty sure it's within CS4 because it doesn't happen at all in Windows.
    What the heck is this and how do I disable it?:

    I see... this is the first computer of mine that I've ever kept the factory installed OS on in my life. Lol. Bloatware.
    Thanks!

  • Where are keyboard layout & input method files?

    I was using the app "Monolingual" to free up hard drive space and accidentally deleted keyboard layout and input method files. Now I am unable to type or use keyboard commands in any application other than Safari. I have another Mac which I could copy the files from, but I do not know where those files are. I also have the original install discs from my MacBook Pro.
    Any advice on how to get my keyboard back in working order?

    Might be time for a relatively painless Archive & Install, which gives you a new/old OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space and no Disk corruption, and is relatively quick & painless...

    Just be sure to select Preserve Users & Settings.
    You can customize to eliminate things not needed.

  • Is there a way to hotkey between Input Methods?

    Dear all,
    My macbook air has a JIS/Japanese keyboard.  I use two IMEs which translate to “Select Word” (I’ll call it ‘Japanese IME’) and “Chinese Word-Complex Characters” (I’ll call it ‘Chinese IME’).
    The Japanese IME uses hotkeys such as “ctrl+shift+k” and“ctrl+shift+j” to switch between Japanese writing styles. 
    For the Chinese IME, I only use one method, chongkit, its hotkey is “ctrl+shift+c”.
    While using the Japanese IME, “ctrl+shift+c” does not activate chongkit.  I have to use my mouse and click select from the options in the top right.  Likewise, while using the Chinese IME, I cannot hotkey the Japanese writing systems.
    The issue is clear… the Chinese and Japanese IMEs do not interact.
    It is easy for me to exit the Chinese IME.  The JIS keyboard has keyboard keys that can put me in English or Japanese.
    I write English (including this posting) with the Japanese IME’s roman character option.
    So, is there a way I can hotkey chongkit from the Japanese IME?
    Or, is there a way I can hotkey switching between IMEs?
    Note, this is not an issue specifically about Japanese and Chinese IMEs, this is an issue with IMEs in general.
    Thank you

    The option that you referenced only cycles between your two most recently used input styles.  It does not change the IME, unless one of the recent ones was coincidently from another IME.  If the combination is pressed shortly after starting the system, then it only cycles through English and a Japanese phonetic system.  Anyway, this is not what I need.
    If command is held and then space bar is pressed, a box appears that permits me to cycle through all styles, I can eventually get to chongkit.  Also, alt+command+space cycles through all the options without the box.  It is better than the mouse, but I would rather cycles the IMEs.
    The goal is to go immediately from the Japanese IME to the Chinese IME, not cycle around styles within one IME.

  • On iOS7, Korean Language Input Method with serious error.

    Korean Input Method for iOS7 has serious problems with bluetooth keyboard.
    It has absolutely incorrect state transition for the keyboard typings.
    Keyboard input and cursor moving are independently acting.
    On the word processing apps, when the line changing occurs while typing, error comes on the first word.
    It looks like to have very poor performance while typing.
    clearing last status of input and transiting to a new state to a new word-syllable are not working properly.
    Input method on iOS5 is much stable and better than on iOS7.
    iOS7 Korean Input Method really makes me annoying.

    For Apple to see this, you need to repost it at

  • Bootcamp, Windows 7: EN option not showing up in input method selector

    Hi,
    I added a Japanese and a German input method on my Bootcamp Windows 7 install.
    For some reason only JP (Japanese) and DE (German) are shown as options in the input method selector - but no EN, which should be the default...
    In the settings the EN entry is shown however:
      EN English (United States)
        +-+ Keyboard
            + United States (Apple)
      JP Japanese
        +-+ Keyboard
            + Microsoft IME
      German (Germany)
        +-+ Keyboard
            + German (Apple)
    When starting up, the German keyboard is activated and there is no way to switch back to the English one.
    When adding another English keyboard, US for example, an EN option is shown - but it selects the normal US keyboard and not the "United States (Apple)" one...
    Any idea how to solve the problem?
    Thanks, Dietrich

  • Simple question about Input Methods

    Hi everyone. I have a JTextArea in a frame. I want this TextArea to accept Chinese language directly from keyboard. For this I need to select an Input Method.
    One way to select an Input Method is to click on the control icon on the top left corner of the frame window and then select "Input Methods > Chinese".
    But I dont want selecting input method this way. I want to select Input Method for my TextArea within the code in frame's constructor.
    I do hope that you are getting my point.
    I tried like this:
    TextArea.selectInputMethod( new Locale("SIMPLIFIED_CHINESE"));
    But it gives me error that "cannot find method selectInputMethod()".
    I shall be very very very thankfull to you.
    Thanx
