Customize Keyboard Layout

Hello,
I need to use umlauts (German) and the alt + , or cmd + u solutions are not working well for me. What partially works is to use the German keyboard layout which has keys for those letters. However a very annoying thing to term with is that they swapped the y and z letters, and I´m not willing to get used to that. How could I modify/personalize the keyboard layout so to arrange these as in the english keyboard?

Try the US International layout:

How to configure keyboard layout?

Hello all,.
I'm using solaris 10 06/06 and my video card is intel 915G. This card has problems with solaris Xorg, so i'm using Xsun. But i don't know where is the configuration file to it. I need to configure a brazilian keyboard (pt_BR).
Anybody can help me?
Thanks.

Sorry, i have forgot to mention that i have configured Generic portuguese in kdmconfig. I don't know how to configure brazilian abnt2 layout (default here in Brazil). There is no option in kdmconfig for that.
Thanks.

How to customize the layout of the partner selection pop-up in sales docs?

When entering a sales order and mulitiple payers, for instance, are defined for the sold-to, a pop-up window will display allowing you to select the correct payer. I've been told the layout of that screen can be changed and saved as a global default layout.
If so, how is that done without ABAP coding? I've tried all the right-click options I can find in that pop-up window. I can change the layout for the moment, but find no option to save it as a permanent display layout.
Thank you,
Jay K.

Alan,
We just wanted to change the order of the fields displayed after the partner number to view fields that are more relevant to how we identify our Payer partners. Specifically, near the end is a field consisting of the partner name, address, city and state condensed into 1 field. We'd like to see that one right after the partner number.
I'm beginning to think you are correct, the only method is an ABAP mod. Yet, when you right click on that pop-up, there is an option to access the current layout and another to choose a layout. That seems to imply you can create a custom layout and save it. But if that's true, I haven't been able to figure out how.
Thanks,
Jay

What you gave me there is something generic not a guide(telling do "this" and "that" without telling how "this" and "that" is actually done is not a guide).Since i ask you how i'm supposed to do something am asking for specific info.
I'm using gnome.Is there a way to do it using the graphical environment?I don't have time this days to learn writing scripts cause i really need the greek layout for my studies and there's little time.
Thank you again for your reply!
Aah !!
Why didn't you say you wanted everything handed out to you on a platter !!!
Aaaah why didn't you say you are full of complexes?Thank you for your guide!That really helped me!I just asked if there's is guide in the forum 'cause i searched and couldn't find any info.And no what you gave me is not a guide.Could you just answer this without pretending the smart?Or this is just to difficult?Well anyway no hard feelings I don't care.
Am not going to reply to anything else you say cause you are ironic!I'll just wait if there is a more polite answer!
Peace to your complexes.

How to customize keyboard shortcuts (Swedish keyboard)

I don't know how dangerous this is, but I have just customized two keyboard shortcuts in LR2 for use with a Swedish keyboard.
I did not invent this, I was taught by someone else on this forum, I'm sorry I don't remember who.
What I did was create a file called TranslatedStrings.txt in the folder C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2\Resources\en\
The content of this file is:
"$$$/AgDevelop/Menu/View/ZoomIn=Zoom In"
"$$$/AgDevelop/Menu/View/ZoomIn/Key=Cmd+."
"$$$/AgDevelop/Menu/View/ZoomInMinor=Slow Zoom In"
"$$$/AgDevelop/Menu/View/ZoomInMinor/Key=Cmd+Option+."
"$$$/AgLibrary/Menu/View/ShowFilterBar=Show Filter Bar"
"$$$/AgLibrary/Menu/View/ShowFilterBar/Key=Cmd+Shift+."
"$$$/AgLibrary/Help/Shortcuts/HideShowFilterBar=Show/Hide Library Filter Bar"
"$$$/AgLibrary/Help/Shortcuts/HideShowFilterBarKey=Cmd+Shift+."
This makes Ctrl+. zoom in on pictures and Ctrl+Shift+. toggle between showing and hiding the library filter bar.
So far it seems to function. This copies the way LR is translated to French and German. But I would very much like some input from Adobe on what can be done without danger. Maybe also a list of all shortcuts so we could do this ourselves without compromising anything.

Minor correction:
I believe it should be:
"$$$/AgDevelop/Menu/View/BeforeAfter/Before=&Before Only"
"$$$/AgDevelop/Menu/View/BeforeAfter/Before/Key=<"
The character "&" after "=" on line 1. But it seems to function like you wrote it too.
I tried changeing "&Before only" into "&Före enbart", which translated the menu into Swedish, but the letter ö looked strange.

International Keyboards or Customize Keyboards?

Hi,
I am using Turkish keyboards. There two keyboards for Turkish language one is Q other one is F Keyboard in order to write these letters "ıöçşüİğ". Unfortunatelly ipad does not support either of them.
Does enyone knows how to customize keyboards?
P.S. it is SHAME for a world wide company like apple not to support international languages!..

I have the same problem with him, but I dont want to see turkish keyboard on my screen. I only want them when I press the button longer. If I just choose turkish qwerty, turkish qwerty pc, and turkish, they all appear on the screen. I want to use US keyboard with the support of these letters ""ıöçşüİğ".
Normally when I am using my iphone, I choose English - Qwerty - US keyboard and Turkish- Qwerty- Turkish Qwerty PC. It works like that. However, on the ipad there is no QWERTY option for the Turkish Software Keyboard Layout, so I cant choose English - Qwerty - US keyboard and Turkish- "Qwerty" - Turkish Qwerty PC.
Can anyone help?

Assigning keyboard layout automatically to certain applications?

i want to assign my keyboard layout to automatically switch to swedish or US when i switch to certain applications. the reason is because of some keyboard layout collision with shortcuts bug in some applications.
example: i use swedish layout in my writing apps like text edit, mail and ichat, and US layout in some of my working apps because of the shortcut bug problems. so when i switch to ichat i want the keyboard layout to autmomatically switch to swedish and when i switch back to the working app id like it to switch to US.
so far ive used the input menu, but its a drag doing that all the time, i did assign the input menu switching to a shortcut which makes the process a bit easier but sometimes i tend to forget to do it and the application shortcuts stop functioning when i activate the buggy app and i have to restart it. ugh!
also i tried with checking the "allow a different input source......" setting in international but its just really what im looking for.
anyway, it gets really annoying doing this manually everytime when switching, which i do really often.
is there a way to do this, maybe some third party application? i've tried to google it but i didnt find an app that lets me do such a configuration.
powerbook hi-res 7200rpm Mac OS X (10.4.3)

im not sure how that OS9 keyboard layout thing works
but im not using classic at all on my computer.
The point is that you can use OS9 keyboard layouts that are based on KCHR resources in OS X just by changing the name and installing them in Users/username/Library/Keyboard Layouts. I have no idea if it would solve your problem, but I think it would be worth a try. You can download Swedish.rsrc here (using a Mac):
http://homepage.mac.com/thgewecke/fs/FileSharing9.html
Another approach is to take a keyboard that does work and try editing it so it works like a Swedish layout even though programs think it is US or whatever.

How can I type "š" with english keyboard layout?

I was wondering if somewho can tell me, how I can type "š" with englis keyboard layout, because when I have restart iMac, layout was changed back to english (from Slovak) and now I cant start Mac OS X, cause in my login is "š"

Start with the Apple menu in the upper left of the Menu Bar and select System Preferences. On the System Preferences pane on the top row is the UN flag icon. For Tiger (OS-X 10.4) it was called "International". Click to take you to the Language Options:
The sub-menu called "Input Sources" (as you can see from the above screen shot) will take you to the panel that I referred to in the previous response. If you don't find your language listed then click on the "Edit List at the bottom left of the "Language" sub-menu. Once you make a change in either one of these places you will be given a notice to tell you that the change will be reflected the next time you restart your Mac or the next time that you log in to your account. If you are the only user and do not have another account on your Mac then the restart option will be your method. There is no need to do this procedure from the install DVD.

How can I get Final Cut 7 to remember my customized keyboard layout?

Hi everyone, I'm new to this community, my name is Flavio, from Argentina.
I'm on a Mac Book Pro Intel Core Duo 2, using Final Cut 7 and I'm using a customized keyboard layout (1 for zoom in, 2 for zoom out), but everytime I launch the application I have to go to Tools>Keyboard Layout to change it, is there a way to tel the ap to launch that layout almays?
Thanks!

It works for me without doing anything special. You might try deleting your fcp preferences
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2491
If that doesn't solve it, describe exactly what your doing to customize the keyboard.
I assume if you do a "save keyboard layout" from the tools menu: keyboard layout after customizing the keyboard and then load keyboard layout after relaunching fcp, that at least works.

HT2435 How do I see fonts in a keyboard layout

How do I see fonts in a keyboard layout so I know which key to use to print a non-letter character, like in Wingdings,for example.

To add to Tom's excellent info. PopChar in its current form is unusable. At least if you're using non Unicode fonts, it is. You cannot in any way make it show you glyphs in a font that do not have Unicode values assigned to them, and that includes many Unicode fonts! As an example, here's Adobe's Caslon Pro Italic from Font Folio 11. It's a Unicode, OpenType font:
Note the large gap of glyphs with no Unicode value assigned to them between 02C7 and 00A4. None of those will ever appear in PopChar under any setting, so you would have no idea these swash, ligature, dingbat and other glyphs even exist. Ultra Character Map will show all of them.
This is just one of many, many Unicode fonts which contain glyphs without a Unicode value assigned to them.
I doubt you'll see a return to a Keyboard Viewer that will show the glyphs of a chosen font, so you'll have to rely on an app like Ultra Character Map, or (ugh!) Font Book so you can see all glyphs in one font.
Using the Character Viewer isn't a great choice. Yes, you can choose Dingbats to see all dingbats, but that's a concatenation of all dingbat glyphs. As I recall, it doesn't even tell you what font a dingbat is in when you select it. So if you have a half dozen or more such fonts open, you need to have all of them available all the time in order to be sure the one you chose is used in the document. Which means you also have to send every possible font that may include a dingbat you used to the printer to make sure they have it.

Ukelele generated custom keyboard layouts not working in Lion?

I asked this question in the stackexchange site a few days ago. Nothing I've tried has worked so far, except for creating a new account. Because a fresh account works, it's got to be something with my preferences, right?
http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/21691/ukelele-generated-custom-keyboard -layouts-not-working-in-lion
Here's the question from above:
I created a custom keyboard layout with Ukelele (http://scripts.sil.org/ukelele) in Snow Leopard (idea is to generate scandinavian letters with Alt-key, otherwise have a pretty much standard U.S. layout). After the upgrade, the old installed (to ~/Library/Keyboard Layouts) layout wasn't working.
Ukelele seems to work OK in Lion, but whether I put the generated keylayout in a bundle or single file, or save it "/Library/Keyboard Layouts" or "~/Library/Keyboard Layouts" doesn't seem to matter.
Help?
EDIT:
@Sergio, I cannot choose the layout in Input Sources. One keylayout file I tried:http://semeai.org/~sjl/us-scands.keylayout
[EDIT: Removed unrelated stuff]
UPDATE 2011/08/15:
@Tom:
Copied your keylayout (it naturally ended up in my Junk folder):
midgard (01:55) >ls -l ~/Library/Keyboard\ Layouts/MongolianQWERTY.keylayout-rw-r--r--@ 1 sjl staff 44536 Mar 13 2008 /Users/sjl/Library/Keyboard Layouts/MongolianQWERTY.keylayout
Logged out, logged in, isn't showing in Input sources (I'm looking very closely between "Maori" and "Myanmar - QWERTY").
I've also uninstalled bunch of software and plugins giving suspicious messages to system.log, but hasn't helped.
UPDATE 2011/08/16:
I created a test account, and lo, the layout works perfectly for it. Also the bug in preferences doesn't show for that account. When trying this on my own account, there are no errors in Console logs with the suggested keywords (I can't seem to locate console.log file, though).
UPDATE 2011/08/16 later:
Nuking Library/Caches (and relogging) didn't help.
UPDATE 2011/08/17:
I did
% find Library -name "*.plist" -exec mv {} {}.renamed \;
and restarted, but it didn't help. I restored the situation with
% for file in `find Library -name "*.plist.renamed"`; \ do mv "$file" "${file//.renamed/}"; done
addendum: I also went through all the .plist files with plutil -s as described inhttp://www.askdavetaylor.com/can_i_check_my_plist_files_in_mac_os_x_for_problems .html. There was some brokennes, but in very unrelated applications.

Tom,
I think I love you.
That absolutely did it! Thanks so much!
If you'll answer with the same link in the stackexchange site, I'll mark the answer as correct, so you'll get the rep there.
Thanks,
Sami

How to Make a Keyboard Layout for X11/OpenOffice

While OpenOffice has a setting to use standard OS X keyboard layouts, you may find that some of these do not work correctly, especially if deadkeys are involved. In that case you will need to create a new layout in the form of a keymap file, which you place in your home folder and invoke when needed via the command "xmodmap mykeymap" in an xterm (or by putting the same line in some config file).
You keymap file should just contain the minimum necessary modifications of the default X11 map, which you can see by doing the command "xmodmap -pke | less" in an xterm (after making sure the preference item for using OS X layouts is turned off).
Some fiddling with the entries of your file may be necessary, as both X11 and apps that use it have quirks and bugs of various sorts. Below is the file I made to do Vietnamese in OpenOffice as an example:
keycode 26 = abreve
keycode 27 = 0x00E2
keycode 28 = 0x00EA
keycode 29 = 0x00F4
keycode 30 = dead_hook
keycode 31 = dead_grave
keycode 33 = dead_belowdot
keycode 34 = dead_tilde
keycode 36 = dead_acute
keycode 37 = U0111
keycode 38 = U01A1
keycode 41 = U01B0

This is a feature Apple should definitely add customization to on OS X.
You can make custom keyboard layouts that include any characters you want using Ukelele.

I doubt Apple is going to incorporate this into OS X, but you can suggest it here:

How to set custom keyboard layout as default?

I've downloaded a german keyboard layout for normal PC keyboards from this page: http://www.nullpointer.de/stuff/keylayout/index.de.
Everything works fine. The layout is showing up in "Input Sources".
But for some reason I cannot uncheck the default "Apple German Keyboard Layout" as you can see in this screenshot:
The TickBox next to it is disabled...
This leads to the problem that in some applications that layout is being used (switched to) automatically instead of keeping the new one...
How do I set a custom keyboard layout as default and/or deactivate built-in one?
Thanks in advance!
MemphiZ

This has come up before, and I think it is not possible. The OS always keeps one of its own Latin keyboards active, and unfortunately I have not seen any way that these (located in system/library/keyboard layouts/applekeyboardlayouts.bundle) can be modified by the user.
PS Another possible source for "PC" layouts for people using that kind of hardware instead of Apple keyboards is the set of Logitech layouts provided when you download Ukelele.

How to add individual keyboard layout under OS X 10.8.5

Using Ukulele I set up an individualised keyboard layout, saved it as a .bundle file and as described elsewhere added it to the Keyboard Layouts folder under Library in order to appear in my Input Sources list (Language & Text Preferences). However it does NOT. However often I add it to the folder and restart my system, no sign of it. Plus, in my system there is no Add button (little plus symbol at the bottom of the input languages' list) as described elsewhere. (see screenshot)
Any thoughts on how I might still be able to add my personal keyboard layout?

The "add" button is for 10.9, not 10.8. You should see a checkbox for your layout in 10.8. Be sure you scroll down through the entire list. If really not there, try putting your bundle in Home/Library/Keyboard Layouts, or try putting in a .keylayout file instead of a bundle. To get to Home/Library you hold down the option key while doing Finder > Go.
