Keyboard shortcuts on international keyboard layouts (AP2)

While I am generally happy with the upgrade, keyboard shortcuts does not work any more. In particular the Loupe shortcut used to be bound to the upper right key under the Esc key (` on English layouts, > on Norwegian) no matter which keyboard layout one used.
The make pick shortcut that used to be Apple-Shift-7 on the Norwegian layout (Equivalent of Apple-\) no longer works either.
To top it off I can no longer hit Escape to cancel out a Crop. I suspect that might be a widespread problem no matter what layout you are using though.
Anyone else experience these problems? Any solutions other than to remap the key-commands myself?

OK, if someone would have just pointed me to the Command editor, there would have been a gold star for them. :P

  • Missing alternative international keyboard layout

    Hi, there is no internationalization discussion group, so this is probably most closely related, sorry if not:
    Most of the Central European keyboards in OS X feature besides QWERTZ layout also QWERTY layout, where such a layout is in practice (e.g. Czech). However, there is no QWERTY layout for Slovak language even though this layout is widely used in the country. This odd nonsense makes OS X poorly accessible for a great portion of people - it's a years lasting pain. QWERTY and QWERTZ layouts differ just inone swapped letter ZY.
    Question: can this tiny feature make its way into next OS release? How to approach Apple staff with this?
    Thank you!

    If not, let us know the exact problems, and we can try to fix them. Making custom keyboards for OS X is usually quite simple.
    You put this file in Home/Library/Keyboard Layouts, then logout/login, check its box in System Prefs/International/Input Menu, then select in the "flag" menu at the top right of the Finder.

  • Windows is forgetting shortcuts designated for keyboard layout switching after waking up from sleep

    I have a configuration of Ctrl+1,2,3,4,5 shortcuts for switching keyboard layouts on Windows 8.1. Once I boot up my laptop they work just fine and the layouts shortcuts setup window looks like this if I open it:However now when I close my laptop, putting it into sleep mode, and then open it again, the keyboard shortcuts stop working and if I open the aforementioned setup window, it also looks as if I have none configured: To get my shortcuts back after sleep mode I have either to reboot the laptop, or assign the shortcuts again manually. This is a problem I've experienced before on this same machine (Lenovo Yoga 13) with Windows 8 (before the 8.1 update) and I guess at that time it dissapeared after some editing of the list of layouts I use.
    But now I've added some layouts to the list, and then removed some of them and so on and here is what I get again.Maybe there is some branch of Windows Registry involved with the layouts and keyboard-shortcuts messed up and I could simply remove the registry branch and start with a clean slate?  

    I have never seen this Windows before, I unfortunately do not understand Russian.

  • Cinnamon keyboard layout change shortcut

    Hello,
    As I see, Cinnamon doesn't allow to set shortcut to (Alt + Shift) for keyboard layout changing. I've managed to found few solutions:

    https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1337685

  • Keyboard layout under Remote Desktop Connections (US-International)

    Hi,
    I'm using Microsoft's Remote Desktop Connection on Mavericks 10.9.3 to connect to a Windows 7 machine using the US-International Keyboard layout, but some keys don't seem to work (quote, double quote, ~, etc.) The Mavericks machine is set up as Language English / Region UK / Input Source US International - PC. The Windows 7 with Language English (UK) / Keyboard US International.
    Any ideas?
    Cheers,
    Luiz
    P.S.: A similar question has been raised for Mountain Lion a couple of years ago, but the solution provided was to use an external software that is not compatible with Mavericks

    Even though it works under Lion, I never tried it under ML, Microsoft states
    Note  Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection Client for Mac (version 2.1.1) is not intended for use with Mac OS X v10.7 (Lion) or later.
    So I dropped it and now I am using CoRD.

  • [LR2 - SOLUTION] Using Lightroom in englsih with a non-english keyboard layout

    Hi,<br /><br />Many of us, non native english speaking LR users, are using LT in<br />english on a system having a non-US keyboard layout. The conseqeunce of<br />this is that we can't reach a lot of keyboard shortcuts because LR<br />doesn't offer any interface for configuring them.<br /><br />However, there's a workaround. I'll explain here what I did for the<br />french language but you can apply this to your own language.<br /><br />For the non english languages, the keyboard shortcuts are defined in<br />C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom<br />2\Resources\<language>\TranslatedStrings.txt. If you are using LR in<br />english, this file is not used and there's no similar file in C:\Program<br />Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2\Resources\en.<br /><br />But you can create one containing only the shortcuts that you need.<br /><br />I have created  a new TranslatedStrings.txt file containing only the<br />keyboard shortcuts defined for the french version. I did this by copying<br />only the lines containing the following sequences:<br /><br />....Key=...<br />....KeyShifted=...<br />...AgPanel/LeftPanelShortcut...<br />...AgPanel/RightPanelShortcut...<br />...MenuShortcut/DecreaseRating=<br />...MenuShortcut/IncreaseRating=<br /><br />(french users can find this file here:<br />http://www.mainsoft.fr/Files/LR/TranslatedStrings.txt .<br /><br />Copy this file to "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom<br />2\Resources\en" and relaunch Lightroom.<br /><br />Now you have the same keyboard shortcuts as when using LR in french.<br />Interestingly enough, if you hit ctrl + < , the LR keyboard shortcut<br />panel is displayed and it shows your new shortcuts.<br /><br />Again, you can do the same for your own language by copying the<br />specified strings from the relevant folder.<br /><br />Hope this helps.<br /><br />-- <br />Patrick Philippot<br />MainSoft Consulting Services<br />www.mainsoft.fr

    Yes… I would at a minimum contact Apple sales or AppleCare regarding this. You have two options though. You can ask for a new one, given they can't simply swap out a keybaord you need to exchange the whole thing.
    Otherwise, you can use it as a bargaining chip and say ask for a free external International English keyboard and a discount on your next Apple Store purchase… for instance.
    Regardless, be polite yet firm with them as you did not get what you ordered.

  • Change Keyboard Layout, But Keep Language

    I have a MacBook with USA keyboard layout.
    While installing, by mistake i selected Latin American keyboard.
    Now, i want my language to still be "Spanish/Argentina", but they keyboard layout should be USA.
    How can i do that? Note that I don't want to have many input keyboards and then have to switch between latin and english language.

    I don't see an option to change "keyboard layout" only.
    Do you really not see the Tab called Input Menu under system preferences/international? There are boxes to check for keyboard layouts, and one is called US.
    Another Tab is called Language, and there you can put Spanish (actually Español) at the top to keep your OS in Spanish.
    Another Tab, in the middle, is called Formats.
    PS If you want to type Spanish with the US layout, you can use the Option/Alt key shortcuts. A list can be found here:

  • Final cut pro keyboard layout issue

    Hi everybody, and thanks for your help.
    I'm Italian, working in Italy, using fcp 6.0.5 with MacOSX 10.6.2 on a laptop and 10.5.x on a Mac Pro, and on both my computers I had big problems because fcp can't match with the Italian keyboard layout without some time-losing operations, that once completed, brought back fcp to normal use... lately (in the last week) this new layout I created (and saved, having to reload it EVERY time I launch fcp) started not working anymore, on both my computers, and keyboard shortcuts are almost not usable anymore. You can easily imagine what does this means in therms of time-losing and focus on the project.
    Now, I'm wondering how is this possible.
    I understand (but hardly accept) that Apple's top level editing software is not immediately compatible with a non-USA keyboard, but this new problem is really disappointing me. And because this is happening on TWO different computers in the same arc of time, well, this makes me think it's not depending from my operating.
    Does anyone else is having the same problem lately?
    I had some other reason to start thinking to move to another editing software (but more expensive), and this new issue is giving me a new reason to make the big step. But honestly, I would prefer remaining on fcp, I'm still (but I don't know for how long yet) proud to be an Apple user, even if when 15 years ago I had my Apple Macintosh maiden flight Apple was the most safe machine my hands could touch. Please, back to the future.
    Thank you,
    and forgive me for the last part of this email, maybe a little off-topic.
    But maybe better complaining at home that doing it outside.
    best regards,
    Stefano Bianchi.

    Hi Nick, and thanks.
    Unluckily I've already knew about this option, but no result. Some tools work, some others (like zoom in/out) not.
    Anyway, this would switch my system language from italian into english, not big problem, but not very professional from Apple, leaving a bug like this.
    If there were technical reasons for which international keyboard layouts are not released from Apple, and you (or someone else) knew about them, may you please explain me? Knowledge will help me to revaluate Apple's operate.
    Thanks a lot.
    Best regards.
    Stefano.

  • Multiple keyboard layouts... how do I stop it from defaulting to QWERTY?

    I've been working on teaching myself the Dvorak layout. I've even re-arranged the keys on my laptop (which is partly because I LOVE to see people who can't touch-type struggle >:)
    Unfortunately... the OS seems DETERMINED to use the QWERTY layout. Every time I switch apps, it goes back to qwerty as default... and I see no option anywhere to stop this. I could probably remove qwerty layout from the menu... but as I'm learning, this isn't exactly an option. And it's something that should be changeable.
    Is there a way to stop this defaulting behavior, so if I set it to a different layout it'll STAY that way? I'm also working with a few Japanese sets, and it has the same irritating habit, so I can't quickly switch between apps.
    If it remembered what setting that application had, I'd be even happier... but again, I can't find anything to effect this in the least.

    Look, dude, if you've already thought of this, too, then spare me the sarcasm, ignore it and continue waiting for something better to come along.
    But, since no one's been able to help you so far, notwithstanding your pleasant and welcoming demeanor, have you tried the following:
    Select both Dvorak and Qwerty (and whatever else you want) from the input sources in System Preferences > International > Input menu.
    Then click on the Keyboard Shortcuts button, which will take you to the Keyboard Shortcuts section of the Keyboard & Mouse pane.
    Click the black triangle next to "input menu," check the boxes next to "select previous input source" and "select next input source in input menu," and set up easy to remember short cuts for switching back and forth between keyboard layouts. (If you see a yellow triangle next to the shortcuts, you'll have to change the default shortcut to something not already used by an application.)
    Now, before you unload another barrel of sarcasm and urge me to read your post again, please know that I fully realize the foregoing workaround does not do exactly what you want to do, i.e., stop your keyboard from defaulting to Qwerty when you switch applications.
    But, what it does let you do is, when you switch apps. and your keyboard defaults back to Qwerty, then you can easily, with a keystroke or two, switch back the your preferred method of input without having to go to System Preferences and check and uncheck boxes.
    That's the best I've got on this one. If you don't like it for any reason -- such as the keystroke or two being too much work for you -- or for no reason at all for that matter, don't bother letting me know. If you do like it and it works for you, well that's great and that's why I posted.
    Good luck.

  • No (Command+`) shortcut in Safari with US International heyboard layout?

    Ok, I recently posted asking for the Alt+Tab equivalent for switching windows in Safari. I discovered here that the shortcut for this is Command+` and it works for other apps too. Thanx guys The problem now is that I can't manage to make this shortcut work using the U.S. International keyboard layout, and I need the layout to make the accents in portuguese... :/
    Can anybody gimme a hand (or a shortcut, or a different layout)?
    Thanx

    The proper keyboard shortcut for your keyboard layout should be listed in System Preferences, in the Keyboard & Mouse section, under Keyboard Shortcuts.
    In that preferences pane, scroll down the list until you find the Keyboard Navigation section. Click on the triangle next to that heading if necessary to view the contents, and look for "Move focus to the next window in active application." Next to that description you should see the keyboard shortcut that performs that action. Also make sure the checkbox next to that listing is checked.
    If it has the Command and ` shortcut there, you might try toggling the checkbox. (Uncheck it, close System Preferences, then go back and check it. Then try the shortcut in Safari again.)
    Or you could try changing the shortcut to something else in the Keyboard Shortcuts preferences by clicking right over the shortcut symbols. They'll become editable and you can type an alternate shortcut (try to make it something that won't conflict with another existing shortcut).

  • Obtaining the standard US keyboard layout file

    Is there a way to obtain the .keylayout file for the standard US keyboard layout in Leopard?
    Back in the 10.3 days, I created myself a personalized "US International" keyboard layout - basically a US, but with a way to conveniently create the 4 accented characters used in Estonian through a dead key. This survived the upgrade to Tiger, but for some reason, not Leopard.
    Having forgotten how I did this back in 10.3, I ran across Ukelele after some Googling. Downloaded that and recreated my keyboard based on the US.keylayout file that came bundled with the download. This seems to generally work fine, except for one small thing - in BBEdit's Search & Replace dialog, the keyboard shortcut for "Replace All", which is CMD-ALT-R, does not work. On the other hand, the combo works as a menu shortcut for example in Fireworks.
    So my plan at this moment is to try to obtain the US .keylayout file of Leopard and try to create my own keyboard layout based on that to see if that fixes the problem, since I'm hitting this bug annoyingly often.
    Anyone know if this is possible? On a standard install, the layout resides inside the AppleKeyboardLayouts.bundle file in /System/Library/KeyboardLayouts, but unfortunately in some encoded/compiled way.

    Yes, it does. That's the reason I'm thinking that there's something amiss with mine.
    Does Leopard's own Estonian layout have problems that make you prefer a custom version?
    It's not the Leopards's, it's the Estonian layout itself - it has [] {} positioned in such uncomfortable places that makes it unusable for me to use while doing my everyday work - coding. That's why I created myself a US layout with a dead key that let's me make accented characters used in Estonian (õäöü) easily, but still use the comfort of the US layout.
    I see the Ukelele author is aware of the issue with working from the new system layouts but not found a fix. You might want to ask your question about that shortcut in the little forum at the bottom of the Ukelele page (or at BBEdit) as well.
    I talked to BBEdit and ended up with "if you figure it out, let us know too" Will try the Ukelele forums as well.

  • Assigning keyboard layout automatically to certain applications?

    i want to assign my keyboard layout to automatically switch to swedish or US when i switch to certain applications. the reason is because of some keyboard layout collision with shortcuts bug in some applications.
    example: i use swedish layout in my writing apps like text edit, mail and ichat, and US layout in some of my working apps because of the shortcut bug problems. so when i switch to ichat i want the keyboard layout to autmomatically switch to swedish and when i switch back to the working app id like it to switch to US.
    so far ive used the input menu, but its a drag doing that all the time, i did assign the input menu switching to a shortcut which makes the process a bit easier but sometimes i tend to forget to do it and the application shortcuts stop functioning when i activate the buggy app and i have to restart it. ugh!
    also i tried with checking the "allow a different input source......" setting in international but its just really what im looking for.
    anyway, it gets really annoying doing this manually everytime when switching, which i do really often.
    is there a way to do this, maybe some third party application? i've tried to google it but i didnt find an app that lets me do such a configuration.
    powerbook hi-res 7200rpm   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    im not sure how that OS9 keyboard layout thing works
    but im not using classic at all on my computer.
    The point is that you can use OS9 keyboard layouts that are based on KCHR resources in OS X just by changing the name and installing them in Users/username/Library/Keyboard Layouts. I have no idea if it would solve your problem, but I think it would be worth a try. You can download Swedish.rsrc here (using a Mac):
    http://homepage.mac.com/thgewecke/fs/FileSharing9.html
    Another approach is to take a keyboard that does work and try editing it so it works like a Swedish layout even though programs think it is US or whatever.
