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 make a keyboard shortcut for this character: ⌘

    I am growing very fond of the Character Palette, but there are some characters I like to use allot, and it's becoming a nuisance opening the whole window just to insert a ⌘. I was thinking maybe there is a way to make a keyboard shortcut for this character, just like option-shift-K creates . I opened the keyboard viewer and was thinking maybe I could drag the character into an empty space to create a combo...but it's not letting me. Is there any way to do this?

    Hi,

    -LanguageList da-DK it only sets the Danish keyboard layout to the specific logged in user.However the for other users its same English(US) keyboard which is not expected.
    Please help me how to set the Danish keyboard for all users on the machine. Its Urgent!Thanks

    Hi Mike,
    Thanks for reply.
    But I need to configure everything using powershell script. Is it possible to use powershell script to setting group policy/ adding logon script ?
    These are pretty basic administration tasks and almost always quicker to accomplish with the GUI. Why do you want to use a PowerShell script?
    EDIT: Here's some information on the topic however:

  • How can i set a layout for MIGO screen

    Hello all,
    How can i set a layout for MIGO screen. & make that layout default. Like i want to drag Requistioner column next to quantity in MIgo screen. temporarily I can drag but is there a way to save as layout & save it.

    Hi
    First you arrange however you want and then go to table settings which is there in the right corner of the item details and create a variant and save.
    Find a button with blue yellow and white at the top end above the vertical drag bar when put the cursor it will show you as Configuration.
    After creating the variant tick the check box use as standard setting below the variant
    Hope it helps

  • 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 make saved IR available for all users

    Hi,
    I've created IR and saved it to several tabs based on search conditions.
    But they're only visible for developers.
    How to make these tabs available for all end-users ?
    Does version 4.0 support this option ?
    Thank you!

    Hi
    At present this feature is not included, although I believe it may be in 4.0. Many people have provided workarounds for this. None of which I have tried. I cannot find the original thread but here is a solution from a chap called Ruud
    >
    One way to share your saved reports with others is to 'Publish' your report settings to a few intermediate tables in your application and have other users 'Import' your settings from there. The reason for using intermediate tables is so that not all your saved reports need to be 'visible' to other users (only those that you've chosen to publish).
    Basically you have available the following views and package calls that any APEX user can access:-
    - flows_030100.apex_application_pages (all application pages)
    - flows_030100.apex_application_page_ir_rpt (all saved reports - inclusing defaults and all user saved reports)
    - flows_030100.apex_application_page_ir_cond (the associated conditions/filters for above saved reports)
    - wwv_flow_api.create_worksheet_rpt (package procedure that creates a new saved report)
    - wwv_flow_api.create_worksheet_condition (package procedure that creates a condition/filter for above saved report)
    The way I've done it is that I've created 2 tables in my application schema that are straightforward clones of the 2 above views.
    CREATE TABLE user_report_settings AS SELECT * FROM flows_030100.apex_application_page_ir_rpt;
    CREATE TABLE user_report_conditions AS SELECT * FROM flows_030100.apex_application_page_ir_cond;
    ( NB. I deleted any contents that may have come across to make sure we start with a clean slate. )
    These two tables will act as my 'repository'.
    To simplify matters I've also created 2 views that look at the same APEX views.
    CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW v_report_settings AS
    SELECT r.*
    p.page_name
    FROM flows_030100.apex_application_page_ir_rpt r,
    flows_030100.apex_application_pages p
    WHERE UPPER ( r.application_name ) = <Your App Name>
    AND r.application_user 'APXWS_DEFAULT'
    AND r.session_id IS NULL
    AND p.application_id = r.application_id
    AND p.page_id = r.page_id;
    CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW v_report_conditions AS
    SELECT r.*
    p.page_name
    FROM flows_030100.apex_application_page_ir_cond r,
    flows_030100.apex_application_pages p
    WHERE UPPER ( r.application_name ) = <Your App Name>
    AND r.application_user 'APXWS_DEFAULT'
    AND p.application_id = r.application_id
    AND p.page_id = r.page_id;
    I then built 2 screens:-
    1) Publish Report Settings
    This shows 2 report regions:-
    - Region 1 - Shows a list of all your saved reports from V_REPORT_SETTINGS (filtered to only show yours)
    SELECT apex_item.checkbox ( 1, report_id ) " ",
    page_name,
    report_name
    FROM v_report_settings
    WHERE application_user = :APP_USER
    AND ( page_id = :P27_REPORT OR :P27_REPORT = 0 )
    ORDER BY page_name,
    report_name
    Each row has a checkbox to select the required settings to publish.
    The region has a button called PUBLISH (with associated process) that when pressed will copy the settings from
    V_REPORT_SETTINGS (and V_REPORT_CONDITIONS) into USER_REPORT_SETTINGS (and USER_REPORT_CONDITIONS).
    - Region 2 - Shows a list of already published reports in table USER_REPORT_SETTINGS (again filtered for your user)
    SELECT apex_item.checkbox ( 10, s.report_id ) " ",
    m.label,
    s.report_name
    FROM user_report_settings s,
    menu m
    WHERE m.page_no = s.page_id
    AND s.application_user = :APP_USER
    AND ( s.page_id = :P27_REPORT OR :P27_REPORT = 0 )
    ORDER BY m.label,
    s.report_name
    Each row has a checkbox to select a setting that you would like to delete from the repository.
    The region has a button called DELETE (with associated process) that when pressed will remove the selected
    rows from USER_REPORT_SETTINGS (and USER_REPORT_CONDITIONS).
    NB: P27_REPORT is a "Select List With Submit" to filter the required report page first.
    Table MENU is my application menu table where I store my menu/pages info.
    2) Import Report Settings
    This again shows 2 report regions:-
    - Region 1 - Shows a list of all published reports in table USER_REPORT_SETTINGS (filtered to show only other users saved reports)
    SELECT apex_item.checkbox ( 1, s.report_id ) " ",
    m.label,
    s.report_name,
    s.application_user
    FROM user_report_settings s,
    menu m
    WHERE m.page_no = s.page_id
    AND s.application_user :APP_USER
    AND ( s.page_id = :P28_REPORT OR :P28_REPORT = 0 )
    ORDER BY m.label,
    s.report_name,
    s.application_user
    Each row has a checkbox to select the setting(s) that you would like to import from the repository.
    The region has one button called IMPORT that when pressed will import the selected settings.
    It does this by using the 2 above mentioned package procedure to create a new saved report for you
    with the information form the repository. Be careful to match the right column with the right procedure
    parameter and to 'reverse' any DECODEs that the view has.
    - Region 2 - Shows a list of all your saved reports from V_REPORT_SETTINGS (filtered to only show yours)
    SELECT page_name,
    report_name
    FROM v_report_settings
    WHERE application_user = :APP_USER
    AND ( page_id = :P28_REPORT OR :P28_REPORT = 0 )
    ORDER BY page_name,
    report_name
    This is only needed to give you some feedback as to whether the import succeeded.
    A few proviso's:-
    a) I'm sure there's a better way to do all this but this works for me :-)
    b) This does not work for Computations! I have not found an API call to create computations.
    They will simply not come across into the repository.
    c) If you import the same settings twice I've made it so that the name is suffixed with (2), (3) etc.
    I did not find a way to update existing report settings. You can only create new ones.
    d) Make sure you refer to your saved reports by name, not ID, when matching APEX stored reports and the
    reports in your repository as the ID numbers may change if you re-import an application or if you
    auto-generate your screens/reports (as I do).
    Ruud
    >
    To me this is a bit too much of a hack and I personally wouldn't implement it - it's just an example to show it can be done.
    Also if you look here in the help in APEX Home > Adding Application Components > Creating Reports > Editing Interactive Reports
    ...and go to the last paragraph, you can embed predicates in the URL.

  • How to make warehouse field inactive for all users in all documents autom.

    Hi All,
    Can anyone pls tell me "**how to make warehouse field inactive for all users in all documents without having to do it through form setting** "for each and every user. It should be visible but inactive
    Thanks & Regards,
    Mukesh Agrawal

    Hi,
    As a work around create a warehouse SelectWH and map the mandatory acoounts as a On hold account(in chart of accounts).So there will not be any posting on this account.
    And set this warehouse as default warehouse for all users.
    So without selecting the appropriate warehouse the user can not add the document.
    I think this might resolve you issue.

  • How to make jar files availabe for deployed EJBs

    Hi,
    I'm interested on how to make jar files availabe for deployed EJBs.
    My EJB is packed in an ear. It uses a util jar. I now just add the jar to the
    classpath, but I think that shouldn't be the way. Is there somthing in the admin
    console to make jars available or do I have to insert it in the ear file? And
    if so, where do I hve to place it?
    Thanks
    Claudia

    Put the util.jar in the ear with your ejb jars - at the same level (i.e. in
    the root) - but do not include them in the manifest.xml.
    Also each ejb jar that refers to util.jar must have util.jar on its internal
    classpath in the manifest.

  • How to make a portlet unvisible for another(not Owners) Users?

    Hi all,
    I (Site-Owner) have create a little Portal-Site with any portlets.
    I want to make one or two portlets(Admin-Area) unvisible for other users. But when I create a portlet as Site-Owner, then all another users can they see.
    How to make a portlet unvisible for another users?
    Regards
    Leonid Pavlov

    You can hide and show portlets of Web providers (OmniPortlet, Web Clipping, and Java portlets) on portal pages dynamically. This functionality is controlled by security managers. The PDK provides a number of security managers. For example:
    o Group security manager: The group security manager makes the portlet appear to users who are members of a specified group, while hides the portlet for those who are not members.
    o Authentication level security manager: You can use the authentication level security manager to control access to the portlets based on the user’s authentication level. For example you may hide the portlet from public users, but display it to authenticated users.
    In addition to the security managers provided by the PDK, you can build your own security managers.
    Although OmniPortlet and Web Clipping do not expose security managers through the user interface, you can apply them by editing their XML provider definition file.
    For PL/SQL portlets you can use the is_runnable method to control whether the portlet is hidden or shown.
