Keyboard Layout Suggestion for Symbian^3 / Symbian...

To: Nokia
Message: The keyboard layout you've desgined for Symbian^3 / Symbian Anna looks awkward to use. The letters Q, and A should not be aligned. Have a look at the keyboard layour I've made. Please consider this layout and use it on Symbian^3 / Symbian Anna before you release the next update on Q2.
Thanks,
Neil

I see, well, I was never really much of a portrait qwerty user. I felt the keys were too small. XD.
Yeah it seems small. But take in mind that i DID NOT reszied the keys. That's the original size.
Now which looks better?

Any layout suggestions for this?

How can I place a JCheckBox and JButton components on the area beside the TabbedPane tabs (Top right corner position)?
Final design should be like this image

Dvorak Keyboard Layout

Is there a Dvorak keyboard layout available for the iPhone?
While I touch type on the standard QWERTY keyboard, I find the Dvorak layout much better suited for typing with my thumbs.
Who do I ask for one if there isn't one now?
Thanks,
Byron

Byron C. Mayes,
You are welcome to suggest it on the feedback page the link for the iPhone is:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
However, speaking personally, I would think the reasons for the way QWERTY is laid out might be valid on the iPhone. QWERTY is laid out the way it is so that letters that are likely to appear together in English are separated to avoid accidental keystrokes.
Hope this helps,
Nathan C.

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.

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)

Controlling Dutch MacBooks from a German MacBook (keyboard layout)

I work at a company which has about 200 MacBooks with Dutch keyboard layouts (QWERTY), but I've got a German keyboard layout (QWERTZ) on my own MacBook. ARD is installed on my MacBook with German Keyboard layout.
For some reason ARD uses the keyboard layout of the MacBook I'm controlling, instead of the keyboard layout of my own MacBook. So, when I'm controlling a MacBook with a Dutch keyboard layout and I press the Z key, a Y appears on the screen.
Why does ARD use the keyboard layout of the Mac I'm controlling, instead of the keyboard layout of the Mac ARD is running on? My fingers aren't situated on the keyboard of the Mac I'm controlling, but on the keyboard of my own Mac. In my opinion it would be obvious to use the keyboard layout of my own Mac, not the keyboard layout of the Mac I'm controlling.
How else are you going to manage hundreds of Macs in an international company which has English, German, French, Japanese, Chinese and some other keyboard layouts? Everytime you log on to a remote Mac you have to find out which keyboard layout is used on the remote Mac. This sounds as a serious bug to me.
Isn't there a way to let ARD use the keyboard layout of the Mac on which ARD is installed, instead of that of the system I'm controlling?

It may not be what you are after, but when I lived in Austria, I bought a normal desktop keyboard (German) and used that plugged in to the USB port on my PowerBook.

Firefox keyboard layout changes to something I don't recognize, the traditional [ QWERTY ] reads as [ ',.pyf ] any idea why this would happen or how to change it back short of killing firefox and restarting.

This happens randomly and infrequently. At first I thought it was my cats fault but it has recently happened while I was sitting at the computer with no feline interference. If someone could let me know how, if it's possible, to change the keyboard layout to QWERTY I will try this next time it happens to see if it can be corrected without restarting firefox. For a larger sample I will include the lines below:
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog
yd. 'gcjt xpr,b urq hgmlo rk.p yd. na;f eri
This is only effecting firefox, no other programs are changed and it does effect all running and new instances of firefox.

Unwanted switch of keyboard layouts

I have created a new keyboard layout file for german Dvorak typing. The .keylayout file was placed in the keyboard layouts folder and after that I enabled the new layout within the system preferences.
So far everything works fine. In some applications my layout switches back to the last system keyboardlayout without any coment or warning. It happens also, when passwords are needed. In Ical I can edit an event completely in Dvorak until i hit the date an time fields. Then the layout switches to the last System Layout, that was selected before.
I tried to move the layout into the system keyboard layouts folder, but with no effect. The packages that come with OS X contain also a variety of different layouts (.keylayout files). When I try to use a "original" .keylayout file ( like US extended.keylayout) the effect persists. I have no idea how to resolve this problem, as the original apple files also fail to work properly.
I will try another user profile as a last test.
Any Ideas?

If I select from the mathematic symbols, no
character will be typed by the keylayout generated by
Ukelele.
That's because the mathematical symbols range cannot be handled in a Roman layout, only in a Unicode layout. In a Roman layout you must use the ascii versions. I would try using a Roman custom layout that you have not had to change via BBEdit and see if you have the same problem. Adding non-Roman characters to a layout which is supposed to be Roman could cause problems. Also make sure you give the layout a keyboard ID which is unlikely to be used by any other layout.
Is there some reason you cannot use the ascii ><? These are what are normally used rather than the special Unicode versions.
<div class="jive-quote">The characters generated are different from the ones created by the original German Layout.
Could you explain that in more detail?

Keyboard Layout creator

Is there an application that will allow to create a custom keyboard layout (Armenian for instance) for iPhone5?
Thanks in advance.

All those layouts should work with Windows XP, Vista, 7 and 8...
You get the parenthesis, the @ sign and other symbols exactly on the same key on OS X and Windows (see last 2 screen shots for the Swiss French layout).
The only difference is that on Windows to "alt/option" you must either [ctrl] + [alt left] or [alt right].
For a reminder if you want to toggle between "standard function keys" and "special features printed on each key" you can set this in "System Preferences > Keyboard" and "BootCamp Control Panel" respectively on OS X and Windows.

Bulgarian Phonetic Keyboard Layout on iPad

Hello Apple guys.
The iPad is great. I love it - so do more are more people from Bulgaria.
I was very disappointed to see that it lacks Bulgarian Phonetic Keyboard Layout.
When can we expect to have Bulgarian Phonetic Keyboard Layout available for iPad?
A keyboard layout which is already available in iPod Touch 1g, 2g, 3g, iPhone, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3Gs and ( I hope) in iPhone 4 as well.
It doesn't seem like something very difficult to include Bulgarian Phonetic Keyboard Layout in iPad as well.
When can we expect to have Bulgarian Phonetic Keyboard Layout available for iPad?
Thank you.

Please can anyone who needs Bulgarian Phonetic Keyboard to use the link bellow to provide feedback and request Bulgarian Keyboard with Phonetic Layout.
The lack of Bulgarian keyboard really limits the use of the iPad for me. I have to use my PC for anything that requires typing in Bulgarian...
So far I have not been able to find alternative solution or even an app to satisfy this lack of functionality...

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:

Looking for a way to directly choose keyboard layout.

I'm looking for a way to organise separated keyboard keys combinations (or single keys - the best) for every keyboard layout. I want to be able to choose layout directly. One unique key (keys combination) for each layout.
One way may be smth. like setting a key to execute a command:
setxkbmap -layout "us,ru"
and
setxkbmap -layout "ru,us"
For keys setup in OpenBox may be used obkey, for example.
In general it works. But in such a case, when not latin/english layout is the first one, or even single one, in the command's layout list, applications will not react on Ctrl-S, Ctrl-Z and so on. It do not depend on current layout, it depend on the first entry in last sequence to be used in the layouts list.
I'm shure there are some other better ways to implement the idea. Please, give me advise: what a tool, or tool set to study and use?

the sad clown wrote:
(just make sure that the changed layout doesn't break your keybind):
setxkbmap -rules xorg -model pc104 -layout us -option
Just change the layout parameters (and any other changes you need) for as many layouts as you want.
Unfortunately, if the single layout, or first in the list layout is not 'us', but my national, GUI applications will stop to react on Ctrl-S, Ctrl-Z and similar things.
Can it be fixed?
Is it that Ctrl-[S,Z] don't work or that they change locations because the keyboard layout has been modified? The first is a problem, the second is to be expected if you are changing the keyboard layout.
Stack wrote:
As I catch, for testing there is no difference between setxkbmap and xorg.conf. Also, there is no way to specify there layout specific switch combinations. In coma separated list of values for XKbOptions there is not binds to corresponding position in layouts list. All the combinations will do the same - cycle between layouts. http://www.xfree86.org/current/XKB-Config2.html#5
Layout itself and layout switching mechanics are too different objects (or classes) in terms of programming. I'm not shure I'll be on a right way, if I'll decide to dive deeply into syntax of '/usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/xorg' and '/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/*' (mentioned at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Co … _xorg.conf ) and hacking of ready to use layouts. If I'm searching for a way to switch them only. Am I right?
My suggestion isn't that you use the XkbOptions switch since this won't work for what you are asking. Instead, I'm recommending you use a little keyboard shortcut utility, xbindkeys and use that to issue the setxkbmap command I mentioned earlier. All you have to do is bind the shortcut to keys that don't change across keyboard layout changes (if you have a number pad, an easy solution is to use a modifier + one of these keys as it won't change). This isn't a toggle like the xorg.conf edit, but can switch to any layout you choose to bind in any order you choose to perform.

Unable to change keyboard layout for all users on Windows Server 2012 R2

Hi,
I have a requirement where I need to support national keyboard layout for Danish for all users on that machine. When I ran the powershell with script Set-WinUserLanguageList
-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:

ArchWiki: suggestion for a new page layout

Finally, I have some time to spare for ArchWiki improvement.
I have modified my article on CMYK support in The GIMP as an example.
Please take a look at it here:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CMY … n_The_GIMP
The code to produce the box on the right is here:
{{sn|'''Article summary:'''
This article will show how to enable rudimentary CMYK support in The GIMP using the Separate plug-in, and explain how to use color proof filter to soft-proof your images.
It will also cover more general topics on CMYK colors and DTP.
'''Required software:'''
*[http://www.gimp.org/ The GIMP The GIMP]
*[http://www.littlecms.com/ lcms]
*[http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/iccprofiles/win/AdobeICCProfiles_end-user.zip Adobe ICC profiles]
*[http://www.blackfiveservices.co.uk/separate.shtml Separate plugin source]
'''Related article:'''
*[[Using lprof to profile monitors]]
This is the best we can do with current ArchWiki setup. It would be even better if we could list categories in the box, as well as i18n links.

I've been tinkering with the templates. It's fixed now, I think.
Anyway, the templates used for the job can be seen from the code:
{{Article summary start}}
{{Article summary text|This article will show how to enable rudimentary CMYK support in The GIMP using the Separate plug-in, and explain how to use color proof filter to soft-proof your images. It will also cover more general topics on CMYK colors and DTP.}}
{{Article summary heading|Translations}}
{{i18n_entry|Deutsch|CMYK support in The GIMP(Deutsch)}}
{{i18n_entry|English|CMYK support in The GIMP}}
{{i18n_entry|Español|CMYK support in The GIMP(Español)}}
{{i18n_entry|Finnish|CMYK support in The GIMP(Suomi)}}
{{i18n_entry|Français|CMYK support in The GIMP(Français)}}
{{i18n_entry|Nederlands|CMYK support in The GIMP(Nederlands)}}
{{Article summary heading|Required software}}
{{Article summary link|The GIMP (v2.0 and above)|http://www.gimp.org/}}
{{Article summary link|lcms (v1.15 ?)|http://www.littlecms.com/}}
{{Article summary link|Separate plugin (v0.10 and above ?)|http://www.blackfiveservices.co.uk/separate.shtml}}
{{Article summary heading|Related articles}}
{{Article summary wiki|Using lprof to profile monitors}}
{{Article summary end}}
As you can see, it's a bit more typing than before, but it sure looks better. I might shorten the names for the templates. I wanted to make them memorable so they are a bit long.
As you can see, the problem of i18n links integration was fixed, so you can use existing i18n template and combine with the new "Article summary" set.
I will modify the article about writing summaries to include those templates and examples.
EDIT: :oops: the i18n links in the article are just examples. Don't use them, since they lead to non-existing pages.
EDIT2: Okay, I've played around with the appearance of the summary box, but I'm at work now, so it's going nowhere. I'll play with it some more when I get home.
