History back on non-english keyboards

It appears that all non-english keyboards (meaning keyboards that does not have the [ and ] characters as a "singlepress-key"), can't use the history back and forward feature anymore. You need to use the mouse right-click feature or use the buttons in the menu. I'm using a Wacom Tablet and have my buttons are configured to history back and forward when Safari is an active window. I've tried to switch to US keyboard and make the shortcut in the Wacom software, but after I go back to my native language - Danish - it doesnt work. After Apple changed the option from backspace to command + [ and ], I cannot use the history anymore unless I have to use the mouse.
Can anyone help?

Hi Jim,
That shouldn't be a problem at all, if you buy it in the US, the software will be in English, but should install just fine on her PC.
I'm sure someone will give their input, some people here have bought players from other regions.

  • Non-english keyboard layouts work in some programs, not others

    In some programs, I can set a non-English keyboard layout and have the appropriate behavior when it comes to diacritics - in, say, the brazilian layout, hitting { then a will give me a á, and so on. It works perfectly fine in Firefox and xchat, for instance. But in other programs, opera and openoffice to name two I've tried, this fails. I either get a garbage character when I hit the first diacritic key or I just get the diacritic by itself and then the accentless vowel: ´a.
    Completely non-English characters still work fine; I can get ç in the Brazilian layout and ñ in Latin American and the Georgian one works fine too, since Georgian doesn't have diacritics I presume. It's just diacritics that don't work.
    I first noticed this problem after I installed SCIM, so I assume it has something to do with the SCIM installation, but I don't know what I did in the process of installing it that would've messed things up.

  • Command-~ - not possible on non-english keyboard

    Searched the forum and could only find this topic in the archives. It's a problem that comes up once in a while.
    I love to point out that the shortcut Command-~ (and command-1,2,3,...) is still hard coded in Photoshop.
    As a user on a non-english keyboard it's impossible to use the Command-~ shortcut. On Mac it's not even listed, on windows, it's listed but it can only be selected by pressing the shift key; so the shortcut doesn't work.
    Hopefully Adobe will add the possibility to change this shortcut once and for all.

    The no-mouse shortcut in CS4 is Cmd Option 2
    The Channel shortcuts have been re-numbered with the Composite now being "2" and the next one (R, C, or Lightness depending on image mode) being "3". And so forth.
    Cmd Option, plus the appropriate number, serves to select Highlights in the specified Channel.
    Cmd Option Shift, plus the appropriate number, lets you add to the selection Channel by Channel.

  • Screen locked with non-English keyboard layout selected

    Hello,
    I use two keyboard character sets for keyboard. The switch between them is Command-Space.
    I also have password requirement for waking up or going from screen saver.
    Now if screensaver starts with non-English layout selected, I'm not able to login:
    password is not accepted because keyboard layout is not English and switching
    to English layout does not work in unlocking window.
    Is there any way to change layout while in the unlock window?
    Thanks

    Yes you are right, this is not a bug, it's just bad user interface. Just imagine the following scenario...
    Writing a paper, switching to Greek to enter a couple of characters and leaving the mac idle for 5 mins.
    The lock screen comes up asking for a password, unfortunately the user didn't change the language
    before the mac was left idle and there is no option to change the language in the lock screen.
    User has to hard reset to access the mac and let's hope that the user was saving his paper frequenlty.
    So from a coding point of view this is not a bug, but from a user interface design it is a huge flaw

  • [LR2 - SOLUTION] Using Lightroom in englsih with a non-english keyboard layout

    Hi,<br /><br />Many of us, non native english speaking LR users, are using LT in<br />english on a system having a non-US keyboard layout. The conseqeunce of<br />this is that we can't reach a lot of keyboard shortcuts because LR<br />doesn't offer any interface for configuring them.<br /><br />However, there's a workaround. I'll explain here what I did for the<br />french language but you can apply this to your own language.<br /><br />For the non english languages, the keyboard shortcuts are defined in<br />C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom<br />2\Resources\<language>\TranslatedStrings.txt. If you are using LR in<br />english, this file is not used and there's no similar file in C:\Program<br />Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2\Resources\en.<br /><br />But you can create one containing only the shortcuts that you need.<br /><br />I have created  a new TranslatedStrings.txt file containing only the<br />keyboard shortcuts defined for the french version. I did this by copying<br />only the lines containing the following sequences:<br /><br />....Key=...<br />....KeyShifted=...<br />...AgPanel/LeftPanelShortcut...<br />...AgPanel/RightPanelShortcut...<br />...MenuShortcut/DecreaseRating=<br />...MenuShortcut/IncreaseRating=<br /><br />(french users can find this file here:<br />http://www.mainsoft.fr/Files/LR/TranslatedStrings.txt .<br /><br />Copy this file to "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom<br />2\Resources\en" and relaunch Lightroom.<br /><br />Now you have the same keyboard shortcuts as when using LR in french.<br />Interestingly enough, if you hit ctrl + < , the LR keyboard shortcut<br />panel is displayed and it shows your new shortcuts.<br /><br />Again, you can do the same for your own language by copying the<br />specified strings from the relevant folder.<br /><br />Hope this helps.<br /><br />-- <br />Patrick Philippot<br />MainSoft Consulting Services<br />www.mainsoft.fr

    Yes… I would at a minimum contact Apple sales or AppleCare regarding this. You have two options though. You can ask for a new one, given they can't simply swap out a keybaord you need to exchange the whole thing.
    Otherwise, you can use it as a bargaining chip and say ask for a free external International English keyboard and a discount on your next Apple Store purchase… for instance.
    Regardless, be polite yet firm with them as you did not get what you ordered.

  • Some applications don't put accents with non-english keyboard layouts

    I'm using a Portuguese keyboard with three different macs running Mac OS Tiger 10.4.8/9. Some applications (like Motion 2 and Swift Publishing 2) don't allow writing some accented characters, like (è) or (ê), that are accessed by Shift+normal key, but they do display correctly other accented letters, for instance (é), witch are accessed directly without the Shift key. This happens only in some applications and with a european keyboard layout (I tried it also with the spanish and french keyboards layouts), but not with other applications (it works all right with Word or iPhoto) and the english keyboards.
    Any sugestion as how to solve this? If I create the text in some other application and paste it in Motion it works! But it's a drag.

  • Keypress on non-English keyboard

    I have a Keypress interaction for the = key on the English
    keyboard. If the student has an Italian keyboard the same key
    creates an ì. To make this work the Keypress icon title I used
    is =|ì This works fine. Now I'm trying to match the German
    keypress. Turns out the key is a "dead key" and creates an accent
    mark on the next key that is entered. Any ideas on how to make the
    interaction work if the German equivalant of the English = is
    entered?

    I would think any key or combination that produces an = on
    the screen would
    work, regardless of its actual position on the keyboard.

  • Spanish, czech, non-english keyboard problem

    Hi,
    I need to type in Spanish and Czech. I have the system preference "International Settings" set with my 3 languages (US English, Czech, Czech Querty, Spanish).
    Problem: I open MS Word. I define the language in the MS word doc as Czech or Spanish. Then I go the to language menu bar up on the top right and choose the right language. This works fine for inputting until I use "Tab" to move to a new field in the table and all of a sudden Mac OS X 10.4.10 has changed back to US. very very very annoying! Can anyone help?? This is a huge problem for me. Thanks. Im on macbook pro, intel.

    Ernesto, I think you'll find that Command-option-6 will give you the \ that you want. For future reference, it's fairly easy to find what you need by using the Keyboard Viewer. How do you see that? The simplest way is to go to System Preferences > International > Input Menu tab. There, put a check mark into "Keyboard Viewer" and also into "Show input menu in menu bar" at the bottom of the pane. Now also put a check mark into "Spanish" in the scrollable list in the center.
    At this point you should see a Spanish flag in your menu bar, no matter what application you're using. When you can't find a character you need to type, simply go to the flag, click and select Keyboard Viewer. By playing around with the shift, option, command and control keys (alone and in combination) you should be able to find what you need.
    Good luck!

  • Hotkeys do not work when non-english keyboard layout is active

    I live in Russia and use Russian keyboard layout pretty frequently. Also, I am a big fan of using hotkeys. But the problem is that in any Aperture version, hotkeys only work when english/U.S. layout is active. It's pretty annoying to switch back and forth.

  • Access Safari history (back and forward) with keyboard command

    Is there a keyboard command to access the back or forward history in Safari? The VO third level commands keyboard map (a pdf file I downloaded) shows VO + Command + [ is for the previous web spot and VO + Command + ] is for the next web spot. But it doesn't work, is this not the same thing?

    Is there a keyboard command to access the back or forward history in Safari?
    Yes, they are shown in the History menu.

  • Japanese input with non-English keyboard

    I installed a brandnew iMac for my wife. She wanted to have the system in Japanese, however the keyboard layout needs to be Swiss German (where we bought the HW).
    Now - when I use Roman fonts in Text Edit etc with the Swiss Input menu, everything is swell. However, when entering Japanese text, the system assumes an English (US?) keyboard layout. Thus z's become y's, all special characters sit elsewhere on the keyboard etc. A royal mess.
    Any advice?

  • Shortcut issue on a non-English Keyboard

    This is just a small issue, but nevertheless annoying.
    I'm on a danish keyboard layout, where the ";" key is a actually assigned to a letter "Æ".
    Thus I cannot press "option+Æ" to show/hide guides. I can assign the function to a different shortcut,
    but it is nice to use "same old".
    As it is still the same key, why doesn't this work? Is there a trick?
    It is on a mac - CS5.
    Thanks!

    Hi asenft!
    Look up the part number for the keyboard you want in the Hardware Maintenance Manual. There will be at least two manufacturers. A good place to search for the part is IBM Parts.
    Hope this helps!

  • Dwm and non-english keyboard layouts problem

    Hi all,
    I am using dwm 5.5. I'm Greek so I change between keyboard layouts all the time,
    see the relevant xorg.conf section:
    Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
    Driver "kbd"
    Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
    Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
    Option "XkbLayout" "us,gr"
    Option "XkbVariant" ","
    Option "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll"
    EndSection
    Now the thing is that whenever I switch to Greek (by pressing Alt+Shift) the
    dwm tags (1,2,...,9) are not clickable (keyboard shortcuts do work
    though, so it's not a very big problem).
    Do you have any ideas about how to fix that behavior? I'd go to the dwm irc
    channel and ask them, but I'll be a "newbie asking stupid questions" so I
    preferred to ask here
    Thanks in advance
