Flash MX: default keyboard layout

My apologies if this topic had a better place to be posted.
I'm using Flash MX 2004 7.2. I use both English and Japanese keyboard layouts in my OS.
Every time I open Flash MX 2004, the default keyboard layout turns to Japanese. This only happens in Flash MX - in Dreamweaver MX and Fireworks MX, the keyboard layout defaults to English no problem.
Has anyone encountered this issue before?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
TIA

It sounds like it could be a Flash problem. You might want to also ask your question in the support forums run by the maker of the program:
http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/index.cfm?forumid=15
You also might want to ask your question in a more appropriate Apple forum, like "Using Mac OS X Tiger." This one is for "Universal Access" questions.

[solved] Gnome default keyboard layout

Hi guys,
Can anybody please explain me why the following command works but the corresponding .conf entry does not?
setxkbmap -layout "us,pl,de" -option "grp:alt_shift_toggle"
[orschiro@thinkpad ~]$ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/01-keyboard-layout.conf
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "keyboard"
MatchIsKeyboard "yes"
Option "XKBMODEL" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "us,pl"
Option "XkbVariant" "altgr-intl,"
Option "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle"
EndSection
When using the .conf entry simply nothing happens.
Regards
EDIT
I was able to identify my problem. See the following:
The above .conf does not work since Gnome seems to fetch a default US keyboard layout from somewhere which I cannot figure out where it is. Without any invocation from my side Gnome assumes this US keyboard. However, I do not want to us the default US keyboard layout but the altgr-intl option.
Screenshot
So as a workaround I have to run setxkbmap -layout us -variant altgr-intl after Gnome had started. But I would like to understand how Gnome assigns the default keyboard layouts.

I still do not understand where the default keyboard layout is taken from. However, I use a workaround and created a file .keyboard in my home directory which is launched after startup of Gnome and changes the layouts according to my setkxbmap settings.
More information.

Default keyboard layout

Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me.
I need to set the default keyboard to irish for user accounts. I can't seem to do it! when a user logs in they default to british. once logged in they can change it forevermore, but only on that machine. if they go to another one it defaults back to british.
HELP!

Similar problem here. After migrating from xserve 10.4.10 to an xserve 10.5.4 the default keyboard layout is U.S. instead of what the users had before (mostly german-swiss).
It would be very nice, if someone could give a hint of how to manipulate com.apple.systempreferences.plist to set a default keyboard layout.
Thanks in advance.

Windows 7, can't change default keyboard layout.

Hi!
It's not the first windows I install but its the first time I can't change the default keyboard layout. As usual I go in control pannel,region & language, (tab)keybard and languages, I press on change keyboard, Added the one I want ( Canadian french keyboard ) Put it on top of the list, tryed to delete the azerty keyboard I mistakly selected during the install and the option remove is greyed out. I tryed rebooting still the same issue. I also tryed to set it as default in the administrative tabs still no result.. Is there a regkey I can modify or something?
thanks!

G
o to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Keyboard Layout\Preload\1
Change the data in 1 to be 00001009
this should change your layout to the Canadian French one
The best way to do it!
Thank's!!

Input menu changing my default keyboard layout-again. Grrrr!

This same issue had come up years ago, and I no longer remember with certainty how it was fixed. It just geared up its ugly head again. Ever since I can remember, I've been using a custom keyboard layout, which I arbitrarily labeled "Cantabria", that lets me type in seven languages with an absolute minimum of key combos. I only need a different keyboard layout for Cyrillic (Russian).
The problem is that, in the past few days or weeks, the system arbitrarily changes my Input Menu to reflect one of the two US English keyboards as the active one, either US or US Extended. I can't see a pattern. It just happens. The Menu Input key combinations are duly disabled, so it's not my accidentally hitting Command+Space.
I thought the solution had been simply to UNcheck both US keyboard options in International, but now it seems you can't do that. You have to have at least one of them selected.
Any ideas on how to stop this annoyance will be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

To my stunned amazement, I just found this other thread from last September with the same issue. I had no memory of having posted then and I still have no independent recollection of it. Major senior moment, darn!
https://discussions.apple.com/message/16121983#16121983
Strange that back then I was able to unselect both US English keyboard layouts and now I can't, on the same machine and same OS build. I'll try deleting the files BDAqua mentions in that other thread.
In attenuating defense of my brain malfunction I can only offer that the other thread is dated the same day my second grandson was born. My mind was obviously elsewhere.

How to force the unlock screen Keyboard layout as default?

Hello BB Experts, is there a way to force the unlock screen keyboard layout as the default keyboard layout for everything in my Z30 (except the dial pad). I really love the unlock screen keyboard layout with the top numeric row. Thanks!

not that i know of, but it does pop up for password fields

TS1702 The keyboard layout is critically wrong, that does not allow quick writing. Users reach the numbers with two step keyboard hits (forward and back). It is really vital to have number 0-9 keys in the default keyboard window. Develop these changes ple

I want to open a discussion about keyboard layout on iPAD´s, including the best one iPAD4. How one can design such sofisticated technical item for diverse work/activity, includes mainly for note writings and meetings, but the writing procedure is so slow becuase of the keyboard layout. It is really crucial to solve this problem in order to avoid developing additional keyboard from third-party developers. This function has to be integrated, namely: TO HAVE A COMPLETE SEETING OF LETTERS AND NUMBERS IN THE DEFAULT KEYBOARD LAYOUT, FOR EFFICIENT WRITINGS.
WHAT YOU THINK ???

This is an iPad user to user forum. Apple doesn't read or respond. You can make a suggestion.
Send feedback to Apple.

I bought a case with a bluetooth connected keyboard. Much easier to use than the on-screen keyboard if you do a lot of typing. You can use many/most computer wireless keyboards with the iPad.

[SOLVED] Configure keyboard layout in X using Gnome

Hi. This is my first post since I just installed Arch two days ago.
My concern is about the console KEYMAP. I succesfully configured /etc/vconsole.conf so that KEYMAP=la-latin1 and it works almost perfectly. The only issue I have is that since my laptop was purchased in the US, using a latin american layout made me loose the greater and less characters (> and <), which are kind of essential characters for me and I'm already sick of copy pasting them. So I followed the KEYMAP section of the Wiki
Thing is none of the changes I make are taking effect, which is weird.
For now I'm only trying to get used to how it works so what I've been doing is the following (as the Wiki suggests)
cd /usr/share/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty
Copy the keymap (la-latin1.map.gz) to a new file personal.map.gz
gunzip the new map file
Edit personal.map: here I'm just changing "exclam" for "dollar" for the 1 key to to test if it works before I add the characters I need
gzip the map file
Change the default keyboard layout file that will be used by editing /etc/vconsole.conf (you might have to create this file) and changing the line that says KEYMAP=la-latin1 to KEYMAP=personal
then I tried using sudo loadkeys personal, also tried rebooting the system and I still get the ! character when I use SHIFT+1 which is weird (because I configured it so i would get the dollar sign)
Later I tried to use localectl set-keymap personal also with no luck
I seriously don't know what I'm doing wrong. I'm sure one of you guys will be able to help me since probably I'm making some kind of stupid mistake I cannot figure out. You can be sure it's not something that stupid as exiting the files withouth saving. To be sure I also reopened the files later to check if the changes where saved and they were, both for the vconsole.conf and personal.map.gz (which I gunzipped to read and then re gzipped).
I really appreciate any kind of help you can give me. THanks!

I have a custom keymap in use on my system because I hate the Caps Lock. So that and a couple other small modifications were made into wonderwoofy.map.gz. Using /etc/vconsole.conf works just fine for me. But I did notice that if I didn't have early KMS that I ran into a race condition with systemd-vconsole-setup.service and the system actually switching the graphics to KMS.
Though my issue might be entirely unrelated to what you are experiencing because I was indeed able to change things with loadkeys (at the time I did this stuff, there was no localectl… or if there was I wasn't aware of it). Maybe try making some other small change to see if there is something inherently wrong with what you have done in the first attempt. For example, since this is just for testing, use a more common character like a letter or number to replace something.
I will tell you though that you are not the first person I have heard of recently who has run into vconsole.conf probems. But the last person I read having such problems was at least able to correctly set their keymap with localectl (though the desired font apparently never took).

Keyboard Layout User Account Domain Wide Issue

I have a 2008 R2 Standard as my Domain Controller and File Server, 2012 R2 Standard Remote Desktop Server and 2012 Standard Server running some applications.
All my computers log on and switch the default keyboard layout to Canadian English with the French layout. I have tried to install US English and removed the Canadian layout, and even after removing it the Canadian Multilingual layout keeps coming
back as default. I am lost as to the reason and do not know how to fix this. I even opened registry and US English is the only keyboard layout listed.
Ideas?
Thanks.

Hi,
At first, I would check that registry key;HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Keyboard Layout\1
What do you see ?
And, if the value is ok there, you could make sure the imported keyboard is not check;
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout
IgnoreRemoteKeyboardLayout (REG_DWORD) = 1
With the above two key, the new users will always get the default layout. Just watch out as user profile already created might have the bad keyboard.
Edited; I wrote my answer first answer as if it's an issue when they logon the RDS's server, but if it's locally on their workstation, check the default layout in the first registry I give. If you see an 1109, or something like that it's more the canadian's
keyboard code.

Setting Default Keyboard Language

I just acquired an PowerBook G4 and the thing is set to always turn on with the keyboard set to French language.
Once running I know how to switch between English and French settings (and we do use the French at times).
I would like to have the English keyboard as my default at startup.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

Hi everybody,
Can somebody please enlight me where I can make
system wide changes to the default keyboard layout?OK, I have found out that I am supposed to reboot, cancel the boot process and enter what seems to be one or another system configuration utility. There I can change the layout to German and save the configuration with a name, for example "german'. Now what?! I can only enter the configuration details again with F2 or run the scan, there's no way to exit the the routine and use the fresh installation. When I reboot by doing ctrl+alt+del everything I saved is lost the next time I enter the utility.
I am pretty disappointed by the way things are handled in Solaris. Online documentation is pretty poor too. Compared to other common Unix platforms such as *BSD or common Linux distributions everything takes hours instead of minutes, all the defaults are set to the worst possible options, nothing can be found where it is expected to be found.
It would be pretty cool if there was a sample document that descibes these common troubles for people like me with a *BSD and GNU/Linux background.
Questions like;
How do I change the default keyboard layout?
Where can I change the default shell to BASH?
How do I change the PATH environment variable for all users?
and such should be answered.
So far I am miles away from a productive system and I'm already regretting Solaris before I have even used it because I wasted days just to install the bare essentials.
thanks,
Tobias

Keyboard layout issue only with Windows 7, not Windows 8

Hello,
I have a strange behaviour with Remote Desktop on Windows 7. I have a RDS 2012R2 deployment, with TS Gateways, broker and remote desktop collection. I have published a RemoteApp.
My issue is with the keyboard layout send by the client. My server is in English - Swiss French keyboard.
With my Windows 8 client, keyboard in "French", the keyboard used in my RemoteApp is correctly set to "French"
With my Windows 7 client, keyboard in "French", the keyboard used in my RemoteApp is set to "Swiss - French". This is not the correct layout.
Why under Windows 7 the keyboard layout is not send correctly ?

Hi Sebastien,
Initially please use latest RDP version 8.1 for windows 7 and check the result.
If you want the session to use the default keyboard layout stored in the user profile instead of the layout provided by the Remote desktop Server client after the user logs on to the Remote desktop Server computer, you can set the IgnoreRemoteKeyboardLayout
registry value to 1. After users first connect to the Remote desktop Server computer, configure the default keyboard layout and input language that you want, and then log off. All later user logons will use the default keyboard layout and input language from
the profile.
To do so, please perform the following steps:
1. On the remote desktop server, click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
2. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout
3. On the Edit menu, click Add Value, and then add the following registry information:
Value name: IgnoreRemoteKeyboardLayout
Data type: REG_DWORD
Value data: 1
4. Quit Registry Editor.
After you first connect to the Remote desktop Server computer, configure the default keyboard layout and input language that you want, and then log off. All later user logons will use the default keyboard layout and input language from the profile.
Hope it helps!
Thanks.

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.

Changing my keyboard layout

Hello,
I am proficient in typing in the Dvorak keyboard layout.
It took me a while to find but in OS 10.4> System Preferences> International it is there as a selectable option. Once selected I can switch back and forth from the top bar in the finder.
However... way back when I first learned Dvorak I swapped the positions of "i" and "u" (Why would I do such a stupid thing?) I did this because it made Dvorak (as great as it is) into an even more efficient layout.
In OS 8- OS 9 I simple went to the system file, duplicated the Dvoark keyboard layout, Renamed the duplicate "Dvorak IU" and then proceeded to swap "i" and "u" with ResEdit 2.1.3.
But now in OS 10 I am befuddled.
How to I create or add or edit to enable Dvorak IU
in the international pane of the system preferences?
Please Help, O Master

Hi,
and welcome to the discussions.
The default keyboard layouts reside in /System/Library/Keyboard Layouts. Each layout is packaged inside a bundle, you may view the contents by ctrl-clicking (right click) one and using Show package contents command. I would not recommend editing default ones.
Because OS X is a multiuser OS each user has own Library. You could create your own layout and save it inside your own library. Path is yourshortname/Library/Keyboard Layouts. That would leave the system intact in case something goes wrong.
There are several utilities available. One of a kind is Ukekele and the SIL has lots of useful information available among the list of other utilities.

Option to display different keyboard layout

Is there any way to have alternate keyboard layout? I find the default keyboard layout bit inefficient. Would like to have full qwerty seaboard like the one that comes with windows pc/laptops.
I prefer to have alphabets and numerical keys together. Rather than having to hit a key to display the numerics
Pl advice.

If you are desperate, you can use an app, like International Keyboard, but it will probably require a lot of copy/paste....

Gnome 2.28 GDM Keyboard layout

Hello,
A few months ago I installed Arch + Gnome 2.26 and never had problems since then until I upgraded to Gnome 2.28. Now with the rewritten GDM the keyboard layout (for entering the username because I don't like select-your-user-from-the-list-thingies) is set to USA (qwerty) while the rest of my system is completely BE (standard, no variant) layout. Before the upgrade also GDM was 100% BE, but now the username is USA and when I want to enter the password it changes immediately to BE (because in the panel down I chose BE). Is there a way to also make the username respond to the BE layout?
==> What works in BE?
TTY's
password prompt of GDM
gnome session
terminals
==> What works not in BE and responds to USA layout?
GDM username prompt
How weird is that? My system is setup as described in the beginners guide (keyboard layout in 10-osvendor.fdi file + hal + evdev) which was system-wide until the update.
I looked around and found some similar threads, but only complaining about keyboard variants, which is not my issue. Also on the Gnome forums, there is no-one with this problem. I checked all config files and XML files related to GDM I could found, but nothing helped.
I noticed that with the Ubuntu Karmic Beta live CD, upon entering the keyboard layout from the boot screen, everything was BE as I want it to be. It proves to me it's all possible, but I can't find how.
Any help would be appreciated!

That's very interesting, thanks for the link. Sure, it's possible that way, but a few weeks ago there still was a GUI for it and now everything has to be done manually again. That sounds very much like a regression to me Anyway, that's not really the point. GDM documentation pages tell us that the system keyboard layout is used to login and that every user logging in can choose their preferred session. However, our system languages (which are different than USA) are not detected correctly and there is no option to override this in custom.conf.
/apps/gdm/simple-greeter/recent-languages
[] (string list)
Set to a list of languages to be shown by default in the login window. Default value is "[]". With the default setting only the system default language is shown and the option "Other..." which pops-up a dialog box showing a full list of available languages which the user can select.
Users are not intended to change this setting by hand. Instead GDM keeps track of any languages selected in this configuration key, and will show them in the language combo box along with the "Other..." choice. This way, commonly selected languages are easier to select.

Has someone the answer to the questions I asked earlier:
1. Will I still be able to update gdm via pacman -Syu after rebuilding gdm with this patch?
2. And will there come an official Arch GDM update with this patch to solve the problem or is the only way to get it solved dealing with the patch now?
