Get Keyboard language changes... Is it possible?

Hi there,
I was developing a command line app which runs in background, but i found some difficulties related to keyboard language...
I need to know when the user changes the keyboard language (with international menu).
I tried with TISCopyCurrentKeyboardInputSource() defined in Carbon.h, but it always returns the same keyboard language when my app runs in bg.
What i need now is a command line app which run in bg and write to a file each language change... Is it possible???
Thanks!!, and please help

Hi,
my app is not a key logger, and it does not run exactly in background. What i mean is that it runs into a while(true). My objective is to detect the changes of language and register it, and use this information in other external app. When i launch the function stand alone (not into a loop), it works perfectly, but when it runs into a loop, it always return the same language...
Does Carbon have any special environment? Perhaps there are some incompatibilities when running Carbon TIS in command line applications...
Thanks!

  • Keyboard language changed only in Firefox not other programmes

    I have Firefox in English but I use a Spanish keyboard, meaning some keys like question marks or quotation marks are in different places, there are accents, a key for ç, etc. It has always worked normally but today, while the keyboard is working correctly with all other programmes in Firefox it works as if the settings were changed to an English (I think) keyboard.
    I don't have that problem with Chrome though, it's just Firefox. How is that possible (add question mark here, I can't guess what key I'im supposed to use for it).
    I haven't changed anything in the settings, so the only possibility could be some kind of shortcut I've accidentally pressed, even though I don't know how that's even possible, as I assumed you can't have several keyboard language settings selected at the same time depending on the programme you're using.
    I type in different languages so this is terribly annoying! Thanks for any help.

    It is possible that you have switched the keyboard layout by accident by using the key sequence to rotate the layout.
    * http://support.microsoft.com/kb/258824 - How to change your keyboard layout
    Windows remembers the keyboard layout setting per application and you may have changed the keyboard layout by accident via a keyboard shortcut.
    * http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306993 - HOW TO: Use the Language Bar in Windows XP
    * http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/The-Language-bar-overview The Language bar (overview)
    Make sure that you have the Language bar visible on the Windows Taskbar
    * You can do that via the right-click context menu of the Taskbar: Toolbars > Language Bar
    * Check the keyboard language (keyboard layout) setting for the application that has focus via the icon on the Language bar
    * You need to do that while Firefox has focus because Windows remembers the keyboard layout setting per application
    * The default key combination to rotate the layout is the Ctrl+Shift or Alt+Shift combination that is used in Firefox for menu items, so it is quite possible to change the layout accidentally.
    * To avoid an unintentional switch, assign a specific key sequence (Alt/Ctrl+Shift+number) to select keyboard layouts and remove the key combination to rotate layouts (Alt+Shift or Ctrl+Shift)
    * Control Panel > Regional and Language Options > Keyboards and Languages > Change keyboards > Advanced key settings > Change key sequence

  • Keyboard language change with Apple Care Protection Plan?

    If I get the Apple Care Protection Plan for a Mid-2011 MacBook Pro 13-inch, can I change my keyboard language?
    I understand that it is unibody, but if they can just swap it, that will be great, just wondering.

    No, I mean the actual layout. the shapes and the locations of each keyboard is different if you compare the Japan and US layout. My dad has a US keyboard, and I have a Japan keyboard, and if you compare them, there are significant differences, such as the enter/return key is bigger, space bar is and delete key are smaller, and is missing the option key on the right of the space bar for the Japan layout, while the US layout has the opposite. The locations of some other keys are different, such as the caps key, fn key, and control key. I am used to the US layout so I want this changed.

  • Keyboard language change

    If I buy a macbook in canada, but want to be able to type in Japanese, is there a fee to change the keyboard/ system?

    There is no need for a special keyboard to type Japanese, countless people all over the world use their native keyboard for this.  You just select the proper input method in system prefs/language & text/input sources.
    http://redcocoon.org/cab/mysoft.html
    If for some reason you must have a macbook  with the same hardware keyboard sold in Japan, then you will have to contact stores directly yourself.  Nobody here represents Apple or any store.  I know the Canada online store does not offer a Japanese keyboard option, but the US online store does.

  • My keyboard language changes automatically

    I have an Iphone 4s running ios version 7.1.1
    My issue started today. When I click on the globe and select Portuguese (Brasil) after a couple seconds, it will automatically switch to a spanish keyboard. No other languages are affected, only brazilian portuguese. What can i do to keep my brazilian portuguese keyboard to remain until I select a different language?

    That is probably caused by the <html lang="ko"> in the page source that makes Firefox switch to Korean.

    *Tools > Web Developer > Page Source (Ctrl+U)

  • Photoshop CS5 changes the keyboard language to Thai

    So the problem is that very often the keyboard language is changed to Thai, but only inside Photoshop. Anywhere else in Windows I can still type in Latin alphabet. It seems to come completely randomly - I use my regular shortcuts and keys when I'm working, and suddenly I notice that any shortcut to any tool is not working anymore so I check by opening the text tool and can only write in Thai alphabet. Even when saving the file it only inputs Thai.
    It's very irritating since right now I have only moved the problem a bit by restarting Photoshop, so when working with huge files it takes some time to save and load again.
    I don't recall whether I ever even changed my Windows language to Thai on this PC since I don't even have the language bar visible, but Thai is regularly being used on my laptop - don't know how Photoshop would get it from there so probably just a funny coincidence.

    Photoshop can't change the keyboard mapping:  it has no such code or capability.
    But you may have accidentally set something in the OS to automatically change the keyboard layout when in Photoshop.

  • I get redirected to a different site based either on my locale, keyboard language or product language. How can I prevent this from happening

    There are several sites that I access where I type in www.xxxxx.com or support.mozilla.com expecting to get the American site but due either to my "locale" which is set to Germany or my "Keyboard Language" which is set to German, I get automatically redirected to the German site. As all my software is in English but I have a German Laptop, I wish to go to the English sites. Conversely there are sites where I type in www.xxxx.de wishing to go to the German site, but get re-directed to the UK Site because my software is in English. Many of these sites then allow you to chose the country you want thereby correcting this behaviour, but unfortunately there are a host of sites whose programmers have not foreseen the need for this and the sites are thus unreachable. An example of this is www.proidee.de which automatically redirects me to the UK Site.
    What I am looking for is some way to prevent these sites from imposing their will over my decisions. I see this as a direct infringement of my rights.

    Try running several malware scanners. It is best to run several as each will pick up things that the others miss. Some scanners you can try are:

    * [http://www.lavasoft.com/products/ad_aware_free.php Ad-Aware]

    * [http://www.safer-networking.org/en/home/index.html Spybot S&D]
    If the above malware scanners do not find any malware or can not clear it, you should consider posting in one of these forums for specialized malware removal help:
