Keyboard Layout keeps changing to US

Hello everyone, I have a 13" MacBook Pro, and the keyboard layout keeps changing to U.S. I have a swiss german keyboard, and it's pretty infuriating to always have to change it back. What I don't get, is that when it changes to U.S., it removes Swiss german from the selection, so I have to go to system preferences to change it back.
is this a common problem with OS X 10.8.4?
Thanks guys

Have a look, if Linc DAvis's suggestion in this thread does help:
Hi. The default language of my keyboard often changes from French to American - apparently without reason. Anyone has an idea why ?

My keyboard language keeps changing

In language and regions, as well as in keyboard preferences i have recently included Spanish - in both cases it is BELOW english, and also in language and regions it says english-primary. I want to mainly use english, and only sometimes i want to switch to spanish. However since i added spanish, my keyboard continually keeps changing to spanish by itself. For example almost every time i start typing into a new document it will revert to spanish, and i will have to manually change to english in keyboard preferences panel at the top right of the main screen. Can someone tell me how to make this stop, it is really really annoying.
OS 10.10.2, macbooc pro

Have you ticked the "Automatically switch . . ." box? I don't use Mavericks or Yosemite enough to understand what the consequences of the "automatic" effect might be, but I'd untick the box if it's currently ticked to see whether the situation improves.

Keyboard layout keeps switching after 10.9.4 upgrade

After the recommended upgrade to Maverick 10.9.4, all of us in my group have the problem that the keyboard layout keeps switching every time a new Word document is opened (and possibly on a number of other occasions).
We have MacBookPros 2011, 2012, 2013, all regretting having upgraded to OsX 10.9.4. As per instructions, mine's a Retina late 2013 and got a 2.8 GhZ i7 with 8GB 1600MHz DDR3, 500GB SSD - no performance issues!
There have been two discussion threads as far as I can see; none with a solution.
"Fixing" the keyboard to a single one is not an option for polyglot people like us who actually need several keyboard layouts.
I have fed back to Apple as recommended weeks ago, but to no avail so far.
This persistent problem is driving all of us mad. Does no one on this list have any answers? Surely there's some setting somewhere that turned a perfectly well working system (10.9.3) into one that's costing us tens of minutes every single day (10.9.4)?
Thanks in advance,
Alexander

There is a box that no one had mentioned...
System Preferences---> Keyboard---> Input Source---> Uncheck the "Automatically switch to a document's input source. The input source is used until the document is closed."
kafetzou... You may want to delete the Turkish keyboard so that the English is on top of the list. Then re-add the Turkish keyboard, this will make it under the English. Though I don't know if this will help your problem, or the box that I mentioned above.

Keyboard layout is changed

Hello.
My keyboard layout is changed and I don't know how.
From Gnome settings I see the right layout (Italian).

I think it seems not fine the file you've linked, since i don't see the it one uncommented.
Edit: Sorry, I've seen bad the posted file.
Btw do you update the locale-gen as root? not as user with privileges.
I updated it as root. By the way, I have an Italian keyboard. I always used the en_US locale. I don't know why it sopped to work.

My keyboard layout has changed. I no longer have an @ key.

About an hour ago, my keyboard layout changed (but only when using firefox) so that, for example, Shift+2 no longer produces @, but rather double quotes ("). Also, pressing the [ key now produces nothing, but the next key I hit after it will produce a hat. Example, the [ key and a g will give ^g. There are other peculiarities, such as the / key now shows é, and a few others.
Everything I check on the internet seems to be telling me the problem lies in my keyboard layout settings in Windows, and possibly having to press LeftAlt+LeftShift (or just Alt+Shift) to readjust them, or bringing up the language bar, etc. But all of my efforts to fix language indicate to me that I'm currently operating with a US keyboard layout (which is what it`s supposed to be), and again, this ONLY happens in firefox and no other programs.
Any ideas?

See:
* http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/The-Language-bar-overview The Language bar (overview)
It is possible that you have switched the keyboard layout by accident.
* Make sure that you have the Language bar visible on the Windows Taskbar.
* You can do that via the right-click context menu of the Taskbar: Toolbars > Language Bar.
* Check the keyboard language (keyboard layout) setting for the application that has focus via the icon on the Language bar.
* You need to do that while Firefox has focus because Windows remembers the keyboard layout setting per application.
* The default keys to rotate the layout is a combination (Ctrl+Shift or Alt+Shift) that can easily be used in Firefox to activate a menu item.
* To avoid an unintentional switch assign a specific key sequence (Alt/Ctrl+Shift+number) to select keyboard layouts and remove the key combination to rotate layouts (Alt+Shift or Ctr+Shift)

Opera's keyboard shortcuts keep changing

When I browse some sites, like Orkut, my keyboard shortcut configuration changes. Don't know why this happens, and when it happens, I cannot write any letter with an accent, like "é", "ã" etc.
So everytime I enter that kind of site I have to go to Tools - Preferences - Shortcuts - Keyboard configuration and change the standard to Opera standard for UNIX. Now I can write letters with accent, but when I enter the site again, I have to do everything again!
Does anybody have this problem too?

Ever heard about Unicode?
To explain it briefly: Before Unicode every charset consisted of 255 different characters (some are control characters, like e.g. line break). This means you can only use these characters. This is a problem if you want to use e.g. cryllic characters or even worse if you are asian and your alphabet consists of much more than 255 characters.
Now with Unicode there are more characters possible. UTF-8 is now one implementation of Unicode. If you open an UTF-8 document with latin1 encoding, you'll realize that special characters (like umlauts, accented characters,...) break into two characters. e.g. Ä breaks into Ã¤ As you see, there are some characters (standard ASCII) only using the space of one character and some using up two four traditional characters.

Why does my layout keep changing when I make simple changes?

I have made minor changes like changing the font size of a text style and my whole layout spreads all over the place when I publish it. I've tried to add a small section of copy and then all the text on that page squeezes into the first column of my layout. I spend hours tweaking just to add a small amount of text to one page of my website. I published the whole site to make sure all the appropriate was updated. I didn't have this problem a month ago when I published the site live the first time. Did one of the updates cause this or what?
Thanks for your help!

Hello,
Please provide us some screenshots or a link to your website so that we can check the issue.
Also, please check if the issue comes up only after Publishing or you are able to see the issue when previewed in a Browser via Muse?

Resetting to default font when keyboard layout is changed (OS X/MS Office)

In Office applications, when I am using other than default font and then switch the keyboards during typing (e.g. from English to Slovak), the font resets itself back to default. The same happens sometimes when I use the Undo function.
Is there any way to prevent this?
Thank you!

If you don't get an answer here, you might try the forums for Office:

1 Make sure your Caps Lock isn't on
2 borrow or buy a basic USB keyboard to enter the passwords & ensure the system is ok

Is there a way to change the keyboard layout on locked screen iOS7?

I updated my ipad from ios6 to ios7. I noticed a really ridiculous thing after i updated my IPAD. The thing is after starting my device with ios7, i tried to enter my pass on the lock screen, but no way.
My old password consisted characters such as ¥ $# etc ... the keyboard layout is changed in ios7 and I couldn't see the "¥" sign anymore. I tried to restore it but I do need the lock pass.
Any ideas?

Hi. I guess there will always be differences in text handling between apps like InDesign and Illustrator, which are fundermentally layout apps, and Photoshop that isn't. But I'd like to be clear about how you Photoshop set up? For instance, I prefer to set type size to mm in Photoshop and InDesign so I can better predict text sizing in a given document. For fine adjustment I do it by eye, so don't really care about what the units are.
If I have missunderstood your point (sorry about the non intended pun) please explain some more.
Incidentally, Nigel French has an excellent title on Lynda.com called 'Photoshop for Designers - Type Essentials'. It's probably the best source I know of for handling type in Photoshop.

Thanks for the help loafer i'd changed /etc/X11/xorg.conf like so -
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbLayout" "gb"
EndSection
but that didn't work. so i followed the archwiki link http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xorg#InputClasses from the news article you pasted. Seemed i needed to make a keyboard.conf file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d, which i did -
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Keyboard Defaults"
MatchIsKeyboard "yes"
Option "XkbLayout" "gb"
EndSection
A quick logout and login and now i have my gb layout. Sadly my keyboard model isn't in /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/base.lst so i can't set
"Xkbmodel" and get all the functions from my keyboard. never mind. thanks again for the help loafer
@Mr.Elendig

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.

Keyboard layout problem at the login screen

Hi there!
I'm having a huge problem at the login screen just after installing OS X Lion 10.7. It seems like the keyboard layout has changed, and I need to enter some numbers in my password. I can't find the digit 9, and I really don't know if the other numbers are in the right place either. Maybe it's changed to a us layout.. What to do?

stoneheart,
the numbers are in the same position on a US English keyboard as they are on a Norwegian keyboard.
If you select the Users & Groups pane of System Preferences, and select its Login Options, do you have the “Show Input menu in login window” checkbox checked? (That’s where the checkbox’s location is in Mavericks; I don’t have Lion, so I don’t know if it’s in the same location there.)

Multiple keyboard layouts in Tiger

Dear all,
I am experiencing some issues with the keyboard switching tool.
basically, I have 3 layouts: Japanese, French and German.
I configured those in the System Preferences / International and configured OS X to use the selected keyboard layout between all documents (this should prevent each app/window from switching layout atomatically)
Now, the problem I have is that whenever I switch between AdiumX, Safari, Mail, Terminal and Finder(no specific order), at some point, my keyboard layout automatically changes back to French.
This happens starting from a freshly booted Max OS X, where the first thing I do is set my keyboard to Japanese and then I start the various applications I use (mail, safari, AdiumX, Terminal).
I would like to know if anyone has experienced the same behavior and which way I can fix this as this is a huge restrain in the workflow.
Many thanks for future help!
Alexis

Hmm yeah, I do know the standard having grown up with it. But at least on all the other keyboards I had been using so far the characters are shown on the keys....
Anyway, as to your question: I do find it feasible for the purpose I use either layout for.
When using the German layout, I’m typing text, with a lot of umlaut-characters - äöüß etc. Clearly, the German layout is better suited than the US where you have to use weird combinations for these characters.
In addition, I do a lot of Matlab-programming and LaTeX typesetting, esp. with a lot of formulas. And as those languages are designed, {},[],\, etc. are some of the most frequently appearing characters. For this task, I definitely prefer the US layout, where these characters can be easily acessed. And since m-files don’t even allow umlauts, and because all of my scientific stuff (LaTeX formulas etc.) is en English anyway, I don’t miss the umlauts here.

Custom keyboard layout from standard layout

Hi,
I'm trying to copy the Spanish-ISO keyboard layout in order to create a custom keyboard layout, and change somme attributes like icons, etc.
I've seen that standard keyboard layouts are in:
/System/Library/Keyboard\ Layouts/AppleKeyboardLayouts.bundle/Contents/Resources/AppleKeyboardLayouts-B.d at
and
/System/Library/Keyboard\ Layouts/AppleKeyboardLayouts.bundle/Contents/Resources/AppleKeyboardLayouts-B.d at
The difference between them is byte ordering, little or big endian, depending on platform, PowerPC or Intel ( this is my opinion... )
But how can I edit this file to extract an Spanish.keylayout ?? And be able to create a custom keyboard layout ??
Regards,
Joan

Don't mess with those files. Just get Ukelele, it comes with copies of what you need:
