Keyboard character setup

I have the short version of the wireless keyboard and works great except for a few characters that don't corresponde like for instance I have to punch Shift equal and zero to close parenthesis.
How do I set up this?

It sounds like your machine thinks you are using a JIS (japanese) keyboard. See if this helps:

Read in a single keyboard character

Could someone help me with the following?
Read in a single keyboard character and display an appropriate message depending on whether it was a letter, a digit or some other type of character. Use a nested else-if statement.
I would appreciate it, thanks.

objJTextField.addKeyListener(new KeyboardEvent());
class KeyboardEvent extends KeyAdapter{
public void keyPressed(KeyEvent objKeyEvent){
if (objKeyEvent.getKeyCode()!=KeyEvent.VK_BACK_SPACE)){
System.out.println("You make a click on Back Space");
}

Non Keyboard character.

Hi all,
I web host a folder of files in the apache. There a file name which contains non keyboard character. I use URLENCODER, it been encoded to %E2%80%98. Sorry that i cannot passte the character here, as is a offline system.
Although is being encoded, is still returns a 404 when try to access the files. Anyone met this issue before?
By the way, what is the culture? Should i really allow all these non-keyboard character?
Regards,
becks

Just wondering how other people do it as well? I feel that should not let users copy paste those funny character into the system.Well it's not a very good system if it doesn't support Unicode. It's not that big an effort after all. Of course if you're not familiar with character encoding and unicode, I recommend you read this:

Cannot enable keyboard & character viewer

After a fresh install of 10.7.5, I cannot enable the keyboard & character viewer. Neither the checkbox will stay checked, nor does the option appear in the input sources menu...
Any ideas?
Thanks,

Thanks, Tom, for your speedy reply.

As far as Onyx is concerned, the homepage is flogging MacKeeper (ugh). Is Onyx MacKeeper in disguise?

Xslt sample for entities to keyboard character

We need the xslt sample for entities replacement text. For instance I have to convert the entities ‘(’ to keyboard character ‘(’.

Hi,
Here's a very simple one... If the param1 matches with any value in the input it will return true...
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:param name="param1"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:value-of select=".//*/text() = $param1"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Keyboard character view list disappeared?

Hey
I recently update my mac os mountain lion ( not upgraded but just normal update from the app store ) and since then when I click on the country flag which is the language I don't see the keyboard character option to go to the list while before I was able to do it like to write arrows or something else
so how can I retunr the option to the keyboard list?
ty

Go to the Language & Text system preferences and in the Input Sources tab check the option to enable these items as an input source to use (in the list to the left).

Keyboard character repeat delay

I have JDK 5 Update 4. Does anybody have an idea on how to access the keyboard character repeat delay and repeat rate?
I want to shorten the delay and possibly the repeat rate. Is there a way to get the keyboard and it's properties somehow?

lol I delt with the same issue while making a galaxian clone.
I wanted to completely get rid of the delay and make the repeat rate equal to as fast as java could execute it (meaning assume that it repeats every single time the paint() method gets executed).
for instance, if I want the ship to move left and keep moving left (meaning no delay and incredibly fast repeat rate), I did this:
inside my KeyListener I have boolean Left. inside keyPressed, I have a switch statement that, if the left key is pressed, sets Left to true. inside my paint() method, I check to see if myKeyListener.Left == true. if it does, I move my ship to the left. inside of keyReleased I have a switch that sets Left to false. therefore, there is no delay at all between the key being pressed and the ship moving, and so long as you hold the key down, the ship keeps moving over at a constant rate that has absolutely nothing to do with the repeat rate of the KeyListener. hacking into the OS is way unnecessary.
if you want there to be a significant delay (the way my firing of bullets does), then do this
//inside the constructor of your GUI, set long milliSec to System.currentTimeMillis().
if (MyKeyListener.SpaceBarIsPressed == true && System.currentTimeMillis() >= 500+milliSec)
//the code necessary to shoot a bullet
milliSec = System.currentTimeMillis()
}that will make it so the next bullet cannot be fired until its been at least 500 milliseconds since the last bullet was fired. giving you a constant repeat rate with no start delay.

Show Keyboard & Character Viewers setting not working

I like to have access to the Keyboard and Character Viewers in the menu bar; however, the setting on my new MacBook does not work. I have checked the "Show Keyboard & Character Viewers in menu bar" many times and it unchecks itself as soon as I leave the Keyboard tab of the Keyboard setttings in System Preferences.
Could a preference file be corrupted? (I migrated data from my old MacBook (OS 10.7) to my new MacBook (10.9). Perhaps this has something to do with the problem?)
Or, is there a command line way to show the preference that might stick better than the checkbox in the System Preferences?
Any insights would be appreciated.
Thanks,
-Robert.

The Input Sources menu has to be enabled to show the Keyboard & Character Views menu, which appears under the Input Sources menu. This was not the case in Mac OS 10.7, which I was previously using.
However, it is odd that the Keyboard & Character Views option is not greyed out in the Keyboard tab when the Input Sources menu is not enabled.
Indeed, the way Apple has done this in Mavericks seems both odd and cumbersome. I think it would be worth telling them so at

The official instructions assume you have already enabled the input sources menu:

MacBook keyboard character error

When I type the letter "k" on my MacBook (white, 2008) the character is rendered as an asterisk. This does not happen when I use my bluetooth keyboard (it renders the "k" correctly). Thanks.

Yes and it worked initially (once), but started again and is not corrected with restart or Snow Leopard upgrade.

Apple Aluminium Wireless Keyboard - Bluetooth setup sees the keyboard but then green light flashes and it won't pair

I am desperately hoping someone can help me out here...
I have a 1st generation aluminium Apple Wireless Keyboard — the one that needs three batteries, as opposed to two — and it refuses to pair with any of my three Macs.
I was originally using it — for a few years — on an old G4 Mac Mini running Tiger then later on, Leopard.
I recently sold the Mini but in the days leading up to the sale some strange things were happening with the keyboard ...the number '7' key became non-responsive 90% of the time and the Keyboard Viewer app showed it as being constantly pressed down. Every other key was working 100% ok.
Fast forward a few days after the sale of my Mini: Now when I try to connect the keyboard to any of my other Macs, the Bluetooth Setup sees the keyboard no problem at all but when I click 'Continue' to go the the pairing stage, the process just keeps failing!
Whenever I turn my keyboard on I get the expected solid green light for two or three seconds, but after that the keyboard's green light keeps repeatedly blinking until I turn the keyboard off again.
I did notice that the Bluetooth Setup will only ever see the keyboard in those first few seconds when the light is a solid green ...if I wait until the lights starts blinking and then start up the Bluetooth Setup, it does not see the keyboard at all.
If anyone can shed any light on this, I would be enternally grateful!!!! ...especially as I was recently made redundant — that's 'Laid-off' for any Americans reading this! — and I would rather not have to buy yet another expensive Apple keyboard when I'm jobless and really should not have to!!!
I read about a lot of people who's Macs sinply don't see their keyboard, but it's extra frustrating for me as my Macs do see the keyboard but won't bloody well pair with it!
Thanks again to anyone taking the time to read this!

The keyboard and mouse should have come from the factory already paired to the Mac. But if it didn't see this http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1809

Storing a Non Printable -from keyboard- Character in Varchar2 Column

Hi,
I want to store a non-printable character in a varchar2 column. This character should be non-printable -from keyboard- for all character sets -or very difficult to print from keyboard-. It doesn't matter, whether it can be displayed on screen or not. It does matter INSTR function returns the character position of that character. It should be able to import export data without any problem for any NLS specific operating environment. For example, I plan to use chr(1) do you think it's appropriate? I appreciate your helps.
Best Regards,
Salim

What is the business requirement you're trying to satisfy?
If your database character set is based on ASCII, CHR(1) (the Start of Header) character is likely to be transferred between systems without character set conversion. Non-ASCII character sets (i.e. Big5 for Chinese data) don't necessarily share the same control characters, though, and generally won't have the same binary representation of an ASCII control character (so CHR(1) in a non-ASCII based database wouldn't necessarily return the same character that CHR(1) would in an ASCII based database).

Keyboard character menu no longer appears and I never disabled it (on purpose, at least)

I type frequently in Spanish and not having the accenting feature of the keyboard so quickly and easily there is causing me problems. How can I reactiviate it? It just repeats the key I'm pressing instead now. I never changed any settings or gave the system any commands to change it. Thanks!

Until you get a fix for the broken Character Picker, you can use the usual option keyboard shortcuts.

Keyboard - Character replacement - Keystroke Event !

Hello ! I am developing a specialized editor using JEditorPane.
One the functionalities that I am trying to provide is character replacement using keyboard. Meaning that if some one enters, say, 'q' then a 'z' should be printed at the point of insertion. Something like
"This is a ebra"--> After typing 'q' on the keyboard before the beginning of the fourth word "ebra", the resulting text in the editor pane should look like "This is a zebra"; meaning here 'q' is used to type in 'z'.
Now here is my code but I am getting both 'z' and 'q' printed i.e. the result looks like, "This is a zebraq". So my questions are,
1) How do I get rid of the unwanted 'q'?
2) Is there a better way of doing this kind of replacement.
Thanks in advance!!
public void keyTyped (KeyEvent e)
PressedKey = e.getKeyChar();
String strBeforeInsert = new String("");
String strAfterInsert = new String("");
String docString = new String("");
try{
int length = edit.getDocument().getLength();
strBeforeInsert = edit.getDocument().getText(0,dot);
System.out.println("---- strBeforeInsert " + strBeforeInsert);
strAfterInsert = edit.getDocument().getText((dot), (length-dot));
System.out.println("---- strAfterInsert " + strAfterInsert);
catch (BadLocationException ble){
if (PressedKey == 'q')
     System.out.println(">>>>>> " + PressedKey);
     docString = strBeforeInsert.concat("z") + strAfterInsert;
     edit.setText(docString);

I would use a DocumentListener. Check out the Swing tutorial for more information:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/events/documentlistener.html
In the insertString(..) method when a 'q' is typed, insert a 'z' instead.
