Keyboard input problem

I have been building a Flex application using Flex 3 SDK Beta
2. I have run into a very anoying problem and I can't seem to find
a solution.
I have several TextInput controls scattered around my
application. I would love if these fields could accept special
characters as input. This does not seem to work though. I cant
enter danish special characters and I am having problems with most
of the other latin special characters too. Does anyone have
experience with this type of problem?
EDIT: The plot thickens. It seems that this problem only
applies to Flash Player 9 for Linux. I don't have this problem when
running Flash Player 9 for Windows.

I am using revision 48 of Flash Player 9.0 for Linux. It's
seems a bit strange though, because I am using Ubuntu 6.06 at the
office and I am running 7.04 at home. Settings seem to be the same
(keyboard layout, locale and language) but I am running a newer
version of Firefox at home and in a chrooted 32-bit environment as
opposed to running a 32-bit version depending on some 32-bit
libraries.
I think I will have to search for a solution way outside the
scope of Flash Player and the Flex SDK in this case.

Troubleshoot keyboard input problem

the right hand shift key, and full stop, have stopped working. When I attached a different apple keyboard the same thing happened to it. The only way I can get a full stop is with the numeric pad, and the only way to get shift is with the left hand shift key. Does anyone have a solution, please?

Well, the game is a bit big now, but the problem is definitely in the file GameBoard.java, and my source is:
http://userpages.umbc.edu/~cbutle3/space.zip
It is simply a Space Invaders Game. I have gotten almost everything working but keyboard input. I have it set up now so that the game even plays itself, cuz it doesn't listen to my button presses :)
I really want to add a KeyListener to the JPanel (the GameBoard extends JPanel) so that keyboard input is invisible, but it won't let me - says the GameBoard never has focus and just ignores it. So to get any key input to work at all, I temporarily added a TextField to the panel, and added the KeyListener to the TextField. That's part of the problem. And the main problem is that inside the "gameplay" loop, the KeyListener has no effect. I tried making a new class with a run(), putting the KeyListener in there and calling start() from the GameBoard, but it had the same outcome. Please help! :)

Mouse & keyboard input problem.

Hello there.
I have recently started using a Mac Mini for music live performance.
I am using programs like Ableton Live & Apple's MainStage.
I am experiencing problems with the input coming from the mouse and keyboard. After startup everything works perfectly fine. I am using Apple's Magic Mouse and Apple's wireless bluetooth keyboard now, but I have also experienced the same with a simple cheap usb mouse.
Let me explain, what happens:
From time to time, the input coming from both the keyboard and the mouse stops. The keyboards is not responding at all. The mouse can move the coursor around, but the buttons are not responding. When I for example move the coursor on an icon in the dock, the name does not pop up, as it would do normally.
From that point my rescue is a restart (hard one) or a screen sharing login from another mac on the network to do a normal restart.
Is anyone experiencing something similar? Any tips to help me out?

We are running Ableton Live for running backtracks.
Here is the part of the log. There is more log about the system startup, if needed.

MacBook Air 11" (Late 2010) keyboard input problem

The keyboard on my MBA has started to act weird lately - pressing certain keys will produce different results than that intended.
For example:
Pressing the "UP" cursor/ arrow key will MUTE the system's sound;
Pressing the "RIGHT" cursor/ arrow key will, in addition to its usual effect of skipping a space (like the effect of pressing a spacebar), the track playing on iTunes will be also skipped to the next track;
Pressing the "`" key (the one immediate above the "Tab" and below the "Esc" keys) will TURN UP the brightness of the screen!
I have formatted my harddrive and reinstalled OS X 10.8.3 from fresh but that didn't solve the problem.
What could be the cause and any known solution?
Thanks.
AC

Sounds like it cound be. While they should not be involved, try resetting the system's PRAM and SMC, to see if those help anyting:
Reset PRAM: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379
Reset SMC: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964
If this does not help, then given that it's persisting even after a fresh install suggests you should take it in for servicing, as it could very well be a firmware fault or other hardware-based issue.

Keyboard Input Output Problems on Mac OS X

Hey guys,
I'm at college studying Java, however my teacher and the rest of the class all use the Kawa IDE, I've been using Project Builder, provided with Mac OS X. Our tutor gave us a class made up of various methods which the college designed to handle keyboard Input and Output, however when I import it I get unpredictable results. I've put it online at: http://www.lostroom.co.uk/inout/
All I'm trying to do is run a simple program;
import InOut;
class CostReckoner
public static void main(String[] args)
// Declare the variables
int quantity;
double unitCost, basicCost, vatCost, totalCost;
double vatRate = 0.175;
// Input the number of items and the cost per item
System.out.print("What is the unit cost of the items?");
unitCost = InOut.readDouble();
System.out.print("How many items in the order?");
quantity = InOut.readInt();
// Calculate the cost of the order
basicCost = unitCost * quantity;
vatCost = basicCost * vatRate;
totalCost = basicCost + vatCost;
//Output the total cost of the order
System.out.println("Cost �"+InOut.format(basicCost,2));
System.out.println("Vat �"+InOut.format(vatCost,2));
System.out.println("Total �"+InOut.format(totalCost,2));
I seem to need to press space bar after I input anything, as it doesn't recognise "Return" without it. Any ideas ??
Strange thing is it seems to work fine on the PC Kawa IDE within college. Any advice you guys could offer would be really appreciated. Send me an email at: <[email protected]> if you can help.
Regards, Gareth

I have a new mac book pro (sept 2014) and am suddenly stuck on the log-in screen. Keyboard input not working to enter my password. Already tried a basic restart and a cmmnd/ cntrl/ pwr troubleshoot to no effect.

I have a new mac book pro (sept 2014) and am suddenly stuck on the log-in screen. Keyboard input is not working to enter my password. Seems to be a log in issue as keyboard works for forced troubleshooting. (And b/c when I first noticed the problem, I was able to enter my log in password but then everything sort of froze. Now, no ability to enter the password.) Already tried a basic restart and a cmmnd/ cntrl/ pwr troubleshoot to no effect.

How to have same keyboards input source in Mac and Windows???

I run Windows over Parallels Desktop
Can anybody help?
Thank you

Can I use an AirPort Extreme Base Station "n"
Yes.
and if so, will my MacBook work with this at maximum download / upload speed (i.e. equivalent to the cable)
The speed of your internal network generally is much much faster than the speed of your internet connection. Unless he has an internet connection faster than approx 6Mbps then even dropping down to the old 802.11b Airport would not seen any decrease in speed of downloads etc...
and will my brother's PC's also be able to connect?
If his PC is 802.11b/g-compliant, it shouldn't have any problems connecting to the AirPort base station.
Or is there another Airport base station?
The other AirPorts would work, but the AirPort Express & older 802.11g AirPort Extreme base stations have a max. range of 150 feet.
OR-- should I head down to "Generic Computer Store" and just by a wireless router (WiFi)(think that's what they call them) and connect this to his cable modem? IF SO WILL THAT WORK FOR MY MAC?
That is always an option as well, especially since he will be the primary user throughout the year. I'd suggest going with a brand name, like Belkin, D-Link, or Linksys for the wireless router choice.

How to use the phone's Mini-Keyboard Input with the 'Textbox'(MIDP2.0)?

(My apology. My English is not perfect but I'll try my best. >_<)
Hi. I'm trying to create a textbox(in my own little application) that is compatible with the mini-keyboard input feature.
This problem involved any device that have a built-in "mini-keyboard".
Problem:
I tried the 'Textbox' class from MIDP2.0 but the result, as expected, is like using the phones with no built-in keyboard.
(Forexample if I want to input the character 'C' inthe text box, I need to press number '2' button three times to let it circle through 'A' -> 'B' then 'C'. )
Then I tried entering URLs in the phone's built-in web browser, the result is I can use the mini keyboard to type like a PC keyboard.
Question: How do I implement such textbox that is fully compatible with the built-in mini Keyboard?
I tried browsing through the MIDP2.0 API but it seems the 'Textbox' class there couldn't do it.
Thank you. =)

The textbox should have input just as any other normal phone input. If not, something strange is going on.
Anyway , there is no use to make your own input method, since every phone has another implementation of this anyway. It would only confuse users.

Calling1.4.1 signed applet from Javascript causes keyboard/focus problems

Pretty sure there's a JRE bug here, but I'm posting to forums before I open one in case I'm missing something obvious :-)
This issue may be specific to IE, I haven't tested elsewhere yet. Our web application is centered around a signed applet that is initialized with XML data via Javascript. We first noticed the problem when our users started upgrading from the 1.3.x plug-in to the 1.4.x plug-in. The major symptom was that shortcut keys stopped working. I debugged the problem off and on for about a month before I boiled it down to a very simple program that demonstrates the issue (included below). Basically, the program has a function that adds a JButton to a JPanel and registers a keyboard listener (using the new DefaultKeyboardFocusManager class) that prints a message to the console. This function is called by the applet's init() method, as well as by a public method that can be called from Javascript (called callMeFromJavascript()). I also included a very simple HTML file that provides a button that calls the callMeFromJavascript() method. You can test this out yourself: To recreate, compile the class below, JAR it up, sign the JAR, and put in the same dir with the HTML file. Load the HTML file in IE 5.0 or greater, and bring the console up in a window right next to it. Now click the button that says init--you should see the small box appear inside the button that indicates it has the focus. Now press some keys on your keyboard. You should see "KEY PRESSED!!!" appearing in the console. This is proper behavior. Now click the Init Applet from Javascript button. It has removed the button called init, and added one called "javascript". Press this button. Notice there is no focus occurring. Now press your keyboard. No keyboard events are registered.
Where is gets interesting is that if you go back and make this an unsigned applet, and try it again, everything works fine. This bug only occurs if the applet is signed.
Furthermore, if you try it in 1.3, signed or unsigned, it also works. So this is almost certainly a 1.4 bug.
Anyone disagree? Better yet, anyone have a workaround? I've tried everything I could think of, including launching a thread from the init() method that sets up the components, and then just waits for the data to be set by Javascript. But it seems that ANY communication between the method called by Javascript and the code originating in init() corrupts something and we don't get keyboard events. This bug is killing my users who are very reliant on their shortcut keys for productivity, and we have a somewhat unique user interface that relies on Javascript for initialization. Any help or suggestions are appreciated.

I tried adding the requestFocus() line you suggested... Same behavior.
A good thought, but as I mention in my description, the applet has no trouble gaining the focus initially (when init() is called). From what I have seen, it is only when the call stack has been touched by Javascript that I see problems. This is strange though: Your post gave me the idea of popping the whole panel into a JFrame... I tried it, and the keyboard/focus problem went away! It seems to happen only when the component hierarchy is descended from the JApplet's content pane. So that adds yet another variable: JRE 1.4 + Signed + Javascript + components descended from JApplet content pane.
And yes, signed or unsigned DOES seem to make a difference. Don't ask me to explain why, but I have run this little applet through quite a few single variable tests (change one variable and see what happens). The same JAR that can't receive keyboard events when signed, works just fine unsigned. Trust me, I'm just as baffled as you are.

Firefox and Thunderbird are suddenly not accepting keyboard input

Keyboard shortcuts still work just input in any kind of input field fails so I can still use ctrl+C / CTRL+V to somewhat use firefox and Thunderbird But all input fields are completely unresponsive to keyboard input
The problem suddenly arose while I was browsing.
I have the same issue on all program's based on the Gecko engine and I confirmed them so far in Firefox, waterfox, instantbird, thunderbird and fossamail. However chromium / windows / basically everythign n
To fix it I tried the following:
Restarting firefox
Restarting firefox in savemode
Rebooting
Changing the keyboard layout in windows
Using a different keyboard
Again rebooting
Pressing F7 to check for caret mode which was disabled
pressing winkey + F9 (Whatever that does)
I am running windows 8.1(x64)

Solved, Changing the keyboard layout again and rebooting fixed it. I tried using the on screen keyboard which worked so I changed the keyboard layout again and rebooted and now it works just fine. I still wonder what caused a Gecko wide issue like this?

Default Keyboard input change in using roaming Profile on different Win 7

We found a strange problem on default Keyboard setting.
We are using roaming profiles for all users.
One of our users is using two Windows 7. One Windows 7 is VDI for working out of office and another Win 7 is her local PC.
She is only using Two keyboard input: Chinese Traditional English and Chinese Traditional Pinyin.
Whenever she had used the Windows 7 VDI, when she comes back to office and use her local PC, the default Keyboard input will automatically change to Chinese Traditional Pinyin.
The user said she had not changed any default keyboard input in the VDI of local PC.
Is there anything we can do for this issue?

CS3 Language Keyboard Input Error

Greetings All,
I have been trouble-shooting this problem for a while, but still it is not resolved. Any help or ideas would be gladly received!
Background: We have a correctly functioning installation of Win XP, and PS CS3 Extended which appears to work normally in every other regard. No obvious errors; no crashes, no start-up complaints; nothing seemingly out of order. I use several installed languages in Windows (EngUK, Russian, Swedish, etc). All of these work normally. All of my installed fonts work correctly in every application on the system except for CS3.
There would appear to be something wrong with CS3's keyboard mapping in foreign languages. When typing with a non-English keyboard setting (any other language) and using TrueType fonts (not Open), only 'missing character' boxes appear in the artwork. The Layers menu displays the typed text correctly, but this will not appear in the artwork. If I use an old install of PS7, I can type using these same fonts correctly in any language. These layers can be imported into CS3, and these WILL display correctly on the artwork. However, the Layers menu in this case displays nonsensical characters. Ergo, I suspect that CS3's keyboard input data is errant.
Where does PS3 keep its information regarding language / keyboard layout? It is possible to edit this file(s)? Are there any other ideas regarding this problem and what might be wrong?
Thanks

Spaces locks keyboard input

Per Sean Dale1, the following was mis-posted in the 10.5 Leopard thread (original post here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2201088):
Have been running into this problem more and more frequently on both a MacBook Pro and Mac Pro tower running 10.6.1 and 10.6.2: when I Control-right-arrow to move to my other "space" one or two of two bad things will happen:
(1) the icon in the middle-bottom of the screen showing which "space" I'm in does NOT fade away and disappear
(2) I am prevented from doing ANY keyboard-input into my programs there. I will be able to click and highlight windows using the mouse, as well as see menus activating and such, but anywhere there is a text field (browser or address book or ANYwhere) keyboard input is not displayed.
The only solution is to go into the Activity Monitor and quit the Dock application.
Have been seeing this problem for a few weeks which persists through reboots and such.
Ideas?

This issue is being covered in more detail at this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2161076
This suddenly started happening to me yesterday and now happens every time I switch Spaces with the keyboard. I've found that the only way around it is to only use the menubar icon to switch. Because I'm so used to clicking keys to switch Spaces and still do it unconsciously, I've disabled the keys in Spaces prefs.

Japanese text input problem.

I created a small swing application which has a JTextField. I changed my keyboard input to Japanese(Hiragana) and entered some characters(. ,). They are coming as center aligned (But, they are coming as bottom aligned in notepad.). And I could confirm that the ideal alignment of them will be bottom. Could anyone help me?
Note: I don't see the same problem if I set the font type to MS-Gothic or MS-Mincho. Is that the only option available.

Sounds like your app is using a Traditional Chinese font because the app is running in a non-Japanese locale. Try running your app in Japanese locale, then it will use the correct font.

Installed rdesktop - but keyboard input still goes to Mac Terminal??

My work PC has been "upgraded" to Windows 7 which made the Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection v2.0.1 stop working (it connects OK, I can login and see my work PC screen, but as soon as I try to do something I am "disconnected" from the PC). I can't install RDC 2.1 because I have a PPC G5.
So I searched for alternative remote desktop apps. Cord 0.5.0 crashes on my machine and 0.5.5 won't even start up.
I ended up installing rdesktop (www.rdesktop.org)
It looks promising - very fast, and gets me to my PC login screen. My mouse pointer can click on the screen buttons, but any keyboard input appears in my G5 Terminal window and is not sent to the Windows 7 PC. This makes it impossible to enter my Windows 7 password to login!
I'm sure this is a simple problem to solve but I have no idea on how to solve it.
Any clues appreciated. Thanks.

Try:
rdesktop -x m -r clipboard:"CLIPBOARD" -g 1280x1024 -u<username> <hostip>
I do recommend using ssh tunnel for RDP over internet. Is more secure and limits open ports to only ssh port in firewall.
There are instructions about on how to use cygwin with RSA key login, turn off ssh password login when working properly.
