Keyboad switch between layouts in Xfce

Hi
I added new keyboard layout from GUI (Settings->Keyboard).
But how to switch between the layouts?
I tried this but it doesn't work:
nano /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-keymap.fdi
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> 
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.keymap">
<append key="info.callouts.add" type="strlist">hal-setup-keymap</append>
</match>
<match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.keys">
<merge key="input.xkb.rules" type="string">base</merge>

<merge key="input.xkb.model" type="string">keyboard</merge>
<match key="/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer:system.kernel.name"
string="Linux">
<merge key="input.xkb.model" type="string">evdev</merge>
</match>
<merge key="input.xkb.layout" type="string">us,bg(phonetic)</merge>
<merge key="input.xkb.variant" type="string"/>

<merge key="input.xkb.options" type="string">grp:ctrl_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll</merge>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
I look for some suggestions about adding options in my xorg.conf file, but I don't have such file.

To switch keymaps in XFCE I'm using a small script instead of xorg.conf.

Switching between page layout and word processing

I can't seem to switch between page layout and word processing view. I've read all the posts on this and still can't figure out why I can't just type a document into Pages. The only option I have in page layout view is to type into text boxes, which is not what I want. I just want to type a letter for crying out loud.
Before I get all the rants about reading User Guides, etc. *I have*. I've also searched on here and in-app help and just don't understand the fuzzy/non-existant answers. Obviously, I'm a newbie, so please don't jump all over me for this. If it was Word - I could do this in NO time. I just find it incredibly frustrating that inputting a normal document should be so difficult.
Is "Pages" *not* a word processing program? Is it just a cut and paste application? Sorry for the tone - I mean no disrespect - it's just that I've been fooling around with this for DAYS and I just don't have time to spare anymore. I really need to get this done.
Can somebody give me a straightforward answer on how to just type a normal document into pages without using text boxes?
Thanks and I apologize for not being mac-savvy. It took some of us a lot longer to see the light =)

Here is a script doing the conversion task for you.
Open a Page Layout document
run this script:
--{code}
set p2t to (path to temporary items from user domain) as text
set path_2_doc to p2t & (do shell script "date +_%Y%m%d_%H%M%S.doc")
tell application "Pages"
save document 1 in path_2_doc
open file path_2_doc
end tell
--{code}
that's all folks.

Using Windows 7 and Firefox 10.0.2, at random times all home page images "disappear" when switching between web sites. Page layout on some web sites is lost. Requires removing and downloading Firefox to restore. Any ideas?

I have recently (6 months ago) purchased and use an HP Pavilion desktop with Windows 7. At times, when especially active (several windows open) and switching between windows or using links to connect with another web page, all the images on the home home page "disappear", that is to say there is space, but no image, as if the page did not load correctly. When this happens, pages other than the home page also do not display images.
Same pages display correctly in Explorer whenever this happens.

How do I - with Swiss German Keyboard Layout - switch between several windows of the same application, what is the shortcut

can anyone pls help me with this. plus anbody explain me how this very basic feature that millions of people are using billions of times every day can be that hard to find on a mac?? there is hundreds of posts about this, but nothing for the swiss german keyboard. and apple: can you please make this just that simple and great as all the rest. thank you so much.

Hi Kappy,
well what you are saying is obvious to me. This is not the point for me and not what I wanted to know. But I think you answered my question anyway: OS X is unable to switch between windows of the same application as I mentioned in my example.
WHY NOT???
Every other OS is able to differentiate between windows and not just applications.
Another example: The Mail application and an Email editor window. When you are writing an Email and you want to switch to the main window of the Mail application to read something you must again use the mouse!
I mean Apple seems to be "somehow" using FreeBSD in the background and even in FreeBSD's window manager it is possible to switch between windows of the same application.
Well, in the Apple world it is always the pour user who is not intelligent enough to understand Apple's philosophy ;-(
To me this is not modern, it is simply a weakness of the OS.

How can I switch between multiple windows of the same application (e.g. Safari) over several desktops ?

Hi All,
I have one application, for example safari, open and running with multiple windows (with or without tabs) spread over several desktops.
How can I switch between the windows only via keyboard? CMD+> and CMD+< let me only swicht between windows open on the one desktop I am currently looking at.
thanks for your replies,
equi

Barney,
many thanks for your efforts and your time (preparing and posting the screenshot, answering to this question,...).
Unfortunately, moving the focus to the next window only works with windows on the same desktop.
btw, using a german keyboard layout and german language settings the shortcut is "cmd+<".
I can switch with this shortcut between different windows of my Safari which reside on the same desktop, but I cannot swith between different safari windows distributed over several desktops.
Thanks,
equi

Whatever happened to Alt+F6 (to switch between modeless dialogs)?

In all versions of Windows until Vista (I think that was when it went
missing) you used to be able to press the standard defined accelerator
Alt+F6 to switch between an application's main window and any modeless
dialogs it had.
It's still documented as such here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb246447(v=vs.85).aspx
"ALT+F6
Switch to next window within application (between modeless secondary
windows and their primary window).
For example, in Notepad, when you have its Find dialog open, under
XP/Windows 2003 (and all earlier Windows versions) you can press
Alt+F6 to switch between the main window and the Find dialog.
This keystroke was particularly useful when an application's modeless
dialog was positioned off the screen and couldn't be clicked on it
with the mouse. You could press Alt+F6 to activate the modeless
dialog, then Alt+Space to popup the modeless dialog's menu, then
invoke the move operation - and get the modeless dialog back on
screen.
On all versions of Windows subsequent to XP/W2K3, as far as I know
there's no way of activating a modeless dialog with the keyboard.
Does anyone know if there's a substitute keystroke, and if not, out of
interest why we lost that keystroke?
Dave

Are you using KMS?
I'm not sure but you could try launching your WM from .xinitrc:
'exec ck-launch-session WM'
Instead of WM you can try 'startxfce4' 'xfce' or wait for somebody smarter than me :-)

Alright why oh why can't I switch between iTunes details and mini player?

Ok I like the new format, separation of the iTunes store makes it a great media player. However the with the new iTunes application what Neanderthal decided not to use the green button to switch between listing and viewing and the mini player, instead it's a trip to the keyboard OR stupidly switching between a big screen layout and a not so big layout,... useless!
I use itunes as follows open application select music, settings and then set to mini player and get on with what I'm doing, at least let us choose the behaviour it has when clicking the green button,... please,...

The only fix at the moment is to hold the option key when clicking the green button.
Send Apple your feedback and this might get fixed: http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html

Photos get all blurry when switching between "100%" and "Fit to Screen"

Hello,
I downloaded the Aperture 3 Testversion and I'm trying to create a new book. I managed to design all the pages but when I switch between the views the photos get all blurry until I zoom in and out of the photo.
I was wondering if anybody knows if it will affect the print out version and if I can do something that they aren't blurry when I get my copy?
Thank you for your help.
Tim

I have also noticed this.
Click the print button in the book layout window.
In the print dialog, choose PDF>open pdf in Preview.
I presume this shows a reasonably accurate facsimile of how the images will appear when printed.

Unable to unlock computer due to impossibility to switch between input sources

I cannot unlock my computer after wake up under the following circumstances.
- In System Preferences - Language and Text - Input Sources, I have the following input sources:
- US
- Bulgarian
- In System Preferences - Language and Text - Input Sources, I've chosen the "Allow a different one for each document" option
- My shortcut for "select previous input source" is Cmd-Space
- In System Preferences - Security and Privacy - General, I've chosen "Require password 5 seconds after sleep or screen saver begins"
- My password for login is using US layout characters only
- In System Preferences - Desktop & Screen Saver - Hot Corners, I've chosen "Put Display to Sleep" on the lower right corner, others are empty.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open Safari and switch to Bulgarian keyboard layout with Cmd-Space
2. Use the trackpad to direct cursor in the lower right corner in order to activate screen sleep
3. Wait 5 seconds for the lock to be engaged
4. Wake up the computer with the trackpad or keyboard and enter your password to unlcok the computer
Result: The password dialog is shaking, suggesting the password is wrong. If I try to change the input source by pressing Cmd-Space, there is a sound heard from the OS X suggesting I am pressing a shortcut which isn't allowed. There's no visual menu to switch between keyboard layouts. I am most probably stuck with the last keyboard layout used on the last open application which is Bulgarian and since my password is in US, I cannot unlock the computer. I need to reset my computer by holding down the power button in order to be able to log in again.
This is the first time I felt my Mac is letting me down. To be honest, I can't understand how such a critical bug has managed to go unnoticed by the quality assurance team at Apple.

Similar probs here as those reported in initial mail of this thread.
OS X 10.9.2.
Two input sources installed.
Both are lattin based. No Cyryllic, nor far East, nor Judish, nor Arabic,....
Simply two lattin based input sources - keyboards.
Even under lattin keyboards there are different key layouts.
I know one possible difference: qwerty and qwertz.
Possibly there are more other layouts than these two.
Lets assume these two input sources, layouts: 1 and 2.
For certain user account the password was set while layout 1 was selected.
Then the user edits some texts, he selects for this keyboard layout/input source 2.
User makes Sleep OS X, or logs off.
Layout 2 keeps to be active.
User wants to unlock the mac.
It is not possible because password is konform with layout 1,
at the time of unlocking however layout 2 is selected.
It is not possible to select the another layout - user can not unlock os x.

Why can't I translate between Swedish and Polish in the same Word document. This means I want to switch between two keyboards.

Why can't I get a Polish keyboard easily accessible from within my Word program? I have to choose it in Finder and then I can't switch back and forth between English/Swedish and Polish in the same Word document. Surely there must be a simple way of doing this by means of keyboard commands while I write, or do I have to go back to my old PC for that?
Ulf Magnusson

(1) You are talking about switching keyboard layouts, not about translating from Swedish to Polish or viceversa.
(2) The keyboard layout choice is not a function of the application (MS Word) in either Mac OS X or Windows; it is a system choice.
(3) Read
<http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.7/en/mchlp2214.html>
specifically "Input source list" and "Input source shortcuts".
In short, you choose the three keylayouts you wish to use for English, Polish, and Swedish, respectively, and then you set the shortcuts you prefer to use to switch between them.
And it's all there, in the Help files, on your very own computer…

Shortcut to switch between states?

Hey there gurus,
Simple one for you.
Fireworks CS4. Mac OS 10.5.2.
Is there a shortcut to switch between states?
Thanks in advance.
Tom

Hey Tom,
Glad to see you found your way to the keyboard shortcuts area. Here are a couple notes that might keep your Fireworks experience happy:
•Try to keep your Fireworks files small... Don't have too many pages when you are going to be using a lot of states; I know it is tempting to have the entire project in one file... separating the different sections by pages and the different states of the sections by the states, but it will be worth your while to keep these files smaller and have multiple files in place of multiple pages. This will do wonders for helping the app remain consistent.
•If you do choose to use multiple smaller files in place of large ones, use 'Command + `' (1 key left of 1/! key). This will let you flip through open pages. If you want to go in reverse, add shift (Command+Shift+`).
•Try using the terminal command 'purge' if/when things get slow, this coupled with the aforementioned smaller files has helped me avoid crashes.
•Make some custom tool panel layouts and save them in Window > Workspace Layouts > Save Current. If you want to update a workspace layout, just type the name of the layout you wish to save over.
Best wishes and good luck with the clients!

Switching between tabs refreshes the page

Hi ,
I am new to the OA framework and i am trying to implement a page with a global region(Message Layout) and a Subtab region with 3 tabs. There is a table in the first tab which is dependent on the value i select in the global region above. I would be enabling PPR later to force the refresh of the table in the first tab, which is the default tab.
I have a controller set on the first tab region.I have observed that when i switch between the tabs(between 1&3 and then back to 1st), the processFormRequest and the processRequest are called each time i click on the first tab. Is this expected functionality? I was thinking that these functions get initialized only during the page rendering. Please advice if i might be doing something wrong here.
My major reference for the OA learning are the dev guide and several tutorials available on net.
Thanks for your time.
Ankit

Ankit,
The functionality u mentioned can be controlled by setting the subtab mode.This is what javadoc says:
SubTabLayout Bean can be run in 2 Modes:
SUBTAB_REDIRECT_MODE
Process Request of only Selected Indexed Region is called
On Form Submission, we re-direct back to same page and rendering new Tab
Process Request of entire page is called on each Tab click
DataObjects are created as and when needed. So if user never clicks of a particular tab, the dataObject associated with that Tab is not created.
SUBTAB_FORM_SUBMISSION_MODE
Process Request of all the nested regions are called
Prcess Request is called only once.
We don't redirect back to same page
All the DataObjects are created in one shot and users them on form submission
To Switch between modes, do following:
subTabLayoutBean.setAttributeValue(MODE_ATTR, SUBTAB_FORM_SUBMISSION_MODE) : Full Mode
subTabLayoutBean.setAttributeValue(MODE_ATTR, SUBTAB_REDIRECT_MODE) : Partial Mode
I hope this helps!

Slow switch between desktops (spaces)

Hi all
Just updated to 10.8. I think this is a new problem, one that was not in OsX Lion. I have a word document on desktop1 and a pdf file (or something else) on desktop2. I need to switch between deskt.1&2 quite fast and fluently to take notes from the pdf. But I can't start typing right away in the word document. I know I could just have the two programs on deskt.1 and cmd+tab between, but I prefer the other way.
This is a bit of a flaw, don't you think? Solution?
Sincerely,
Helgi

Sure, with compiz you can do a lot more than this . I've installed KDE4 again, but cannot get it to switch desktops the way I wanted. Scroll over pager works on every DE, though it requires precise mouse aiming over the pager. In XFCE I don't have to aim - just move the mouse to the side of the screen (where I have margin set, so desktop is available there) and scroll.
Alt+scroll requires additional movement, which is annoying when for example I do things, that don't require keyboard use (like composing the playlist, browsing the web, changing the GTK2 themes and so on ). I like minimizing things to do to achieve the goal. Therefore I also use cairo-dock, which removed additional mouse click (for raising the menu) when opening the most used applications...
A funny and I think useful feature I found in KDE4 is action bound to scroll over the window titlebar - it moves the window and the user to the next desktop .

Dreamweaver CS5 :: crashes when i switch between open docs

Im running Windows 7 x64.
When I switch between open documents that are docked Dreamweaver CS5 keeps crashing on me :-(
In addition, after each crash when I open it back up again it looses my layout preferences ( I prefer the right nav
docked on the left side and the code view as my defaults )
This is hindering my productivity quite a bit....
Please Help,
~Stu :-(

Yeah pretty much and it happens fairly regualrly... Heres a copy of
