My input source keeps reverting to Hebrew

I have three input sources checked and available - English (U.S.), Hebrew and French. They are also listed in this order under System prefs -> Language & Text -> Languages. I should also specify that I have "Allow a different one for each document" enabled (which is what I want).
Still, the input source consistently reverts to Hebrew whenever I come back to a window. This is very strange, and even more since English (U.S.) is actually listed first as I've stated above. Any ideas?

Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it:
defaults -currentHost read com.apple.HIToolbox
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).

  • Why does the Input Source keep changing?

    I have two languages in my list of Input Sources - Maori and Australian.  I normally have it set on Maori, but in the last week it's been defaulting back to Australian.  Anyone have any ideas how to resolve the issue??

    Go to the User's Library folder. This folder is hidden by default. To unhide: Select the Finder in the Dock. Under Go in the Menu bar > hold down the Option key and you’ll see the Library.

  • Input Source Keeps Changing On Mac OSX 10.9.5

    On an Imac Late 2013 with 10.9.5 installed - I switch to Greek Polytonic and when the computer is shutdown or restarted - it switches back to US.   I've tried different log ins with the same result.   For awhile a few weeks ago - it seemed to work, i.e. when the computer was shutdown or restarted - the Greek Polytonic Setting stayed.  But recently - it started switching back to the US after a restart or shutdown.   Is this a known bug with 10.9.5?   Thanks, Bob

  • Help required with Gnome 3 Input Sources

    I used CapsLock before gnome 3.6 upgrade all working fine, however new Input Sources broke my system a little bit
    I fixed my CapsLock by dconf-editor org\gnome\desktop\input-sources\xkb-options ['grp:caps_toggle', 'grp_switch', 'grp_led:caps'], but I can't get work
    - language switch indicator not working
    - show-flags does nothing anymore
    Any help fit is required because of usability issues

    Also, with Gnome 3.6 it's no longer possible to switch layouts with the Caps key. That setting is not available even in gnome-tweak-tool.
    I figured out how to do make the settings a lot more flexible, and fix all the layout bugs introduced by 3.6. This is done by configuring everything through setxkbmap and not letting gnome interfere with the settings.
    Remove all input sources, and the typing shortcuts from gnome keyboard settings window.
    Open dconf-editor and remove everything from "org\gnome\desktop\input-sources\xkb-options". I was not able to set it to nothing, but setting it to ['grp_led:caps'] worked. These 2 steps were needed not to interfere with the config described below.
    Install kbdd-git from aur, if you want separate layout for each window.
    Create a script with preferred setxkbmap settings. Here is mine, setting Caps to switch languages, and swapping alt and win keys on MacBook.
    #!/bin/sh
    setxkbmap -layout us,ru
    setxkbmap -option 'grp:caps_toggle'
    setxkbmap -option 'altwin:swap_lalt_lwin'
    # kbdd is needed to keep separate layout for each window.
    `which kbdd` && kbdd
    Launch gnome-session-properties and add this script to the list.

  • How do I add an input source besides English in Gnome Shell? [SOLVED]

    Hello.
    I'm a bit confused as to how I should add additional languages/input sources in Gnome Shell. When I ran Gnome Shell in Ubuntu, I could add additional input sources via the Region & Language section of the Gnome control panel, but in Arch I've only got English (my locale is en_US.UTF-8). I'd like to be able to switch between English & Hebrew.
    Do I need to install an underlying gnome package for handling additional input sources? Or do I need to manually add a locale? The wiki seems unclear on this. Also, should I use localectl? I'm also a bit unsure there.
    Thanks!

    I think so.
    Edit the file at /etc/locale.gen and un-comment the desired locale then run:

  • Allow a different input source for each document

    I just received my new MBP and am really happy about it. I'm a switcher so apologies in advance if this question is silly...
    I use both Swedish and English keyboard maps. I can switch between them using a shortcut which is fine. However, in the International settings I thought "Allow a different input source for each document" would mean that the input source I use for a specific application will be used as long as the application is running and I don't change it, no matter what source I use in other applications.
    For example: I have the English input source as default. Then I open text edit and change the source to Swedish and start typing. So far so good. I then change to another application...
    Ok, it seemed that I might be able to answer this myself... as I test I noticed the following:
    If I start typing using a source in an application THEN the source is retained. If I just switch to an application, change its source the source is NOT retained and will take the previous one.
    Now this is all and well as long as the application you are using actually presents you with a text area to write in. But there are many applications where this is not the case (where you open windows to type text). A really good example is an IM client. Lets say Skype for example (yes I know.. iChat). Until I actually start a chat there is no text input window (well there is one..) which means that it will pick up whatever source was used previously. If I keep all the chat windows open thats fine but as soon as I reopen a windows I might be forced to change the source again
    I hope I haven't overcomplicated my question which is simply what to expect when "Allow a different input source for each document" is used (I know it doesn't say "application" there and that might actually be a hint
    Many Thanks for any comments

    It's not a silly question, but I don't think there is an answer either, as it's not clear exactly what that setting is supposed to do, or if it actually does something consistently for various different kinds of apps.
    If you have not already done so, check the box for "show input menu in Finder" in system prefs/international/input menu, so you can see which layout is active at the top right of the Finder.

  • I have a MacBook Pro running mac osx 10.8, Screen saver keeps reverting to national geographic photos.

    I have a MacBook Pro running mac osx 10.8, Screen saver keeps reverting to national geographic photos.

    Just found this solution on another website. I tried it and it works. No more polar bears and Savannahs!
    Apparently if you put it in the folder called "Desktop Pictures" it will work.
    So, copy whatever folder of pictures you would like to use as your screensaver and then go to:
    Macintosh HD>Library > Desktop Pictures
    Paste your folder into this folder called "Desktop Pictures".
    You may have to enter the administrator code (the password you use to open your mac usually).
    Then, go back to System Preferences, go to Desktop and Screensaver, click on the Screensaver tab on the top, go to the drop down menu beside "Source" (under the picture) and click on "Choose Folder". Navigate to the Macintosh HD>Library>Desktop Pictures and then click on the folder you just pasted in there. Click "Choose" and you're all set.

  • Input Sources Crashes System Preferences

    I have two issues:
    1) When trying to open Input Sources through 'System Preferences >> Keyboard >> Input Sources' I get a pop-up window saying 'System Preferences quit unexpectedly'...
    2) Also - and I suspect this is a related issue - my menu bar keeps constantly blinking/flickering so that I am unable to select anything, nor use Spotlight. I have a feeling that Input Sources & Keyboards are causing the Menu Bar to blink/flicker but I can't try disable them due to my first issue
    This is a recent issue that started ever since I started exploring a few new apps to customise my keyboard; namely KeyRemap4Macbook and DoubleCommand. I have also been using Ukelele to create custom keyboard layouts but the issues only started after installing DoubleCommand and KeyRemap...
    Any help and solutions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you,
    Zano.

    Thank you for the swift response.
    Update:
    Not that it will affect much, but I forgot to mention that I had already uninstalled KeyRemap and DoubleCommand by the time I posted my message.
    'Safebooting' didn't work (I had already tried but just tried again now).
    Attempting to re-install Mavericks according to the link you gave me returned a message saying "Could not find installation information for this machine..."
    I'm gonna try re-installing it using a .dmg file I was given when I had my machine repaired (it's been through a lot!).
    Will update again soon.
    Thanks,

  • Unable to unlock computer due to impossibility to switch between input sources

    I cannot unlock my computer after wake up under the following circumstances.
    - In System Preferences - Language and Text - Input Sources, I have the following input sources:
        - US
        - Bulgarian
    - In System Preferences - Language and Text - Input Sources, I've chosen the "Allow a different one for each document" option
    - My shortcut for "select previous input source" is Cmd-Space
    - In System Preferences - Security and Privacy - General, I've chosen "Require password 5 seconds after sleep or screen saver begins"
    - My password for login is using US layout characters only
    - In System Preferences - Desktop & Screen Saver - Hot Corners, I've chosen "Put Display to Sleep" on the lower right corner, others are empty.
    Steps to reproduce:
    1. Open Safari and switch to Bulgarian keyboard layout with Cmd-Space
    2. Use the trackpad to direct cursor in the lower right corner in order to activate screen sleep
    3. Wait 5 seconds for the lock to be engaged
    4. Wake up the computer with the trackpad or keyboard and enter your password to unlcok the computer
    Result: The password dialog is shaking, suggesting the password is wrong. If I try to change the input source by pressing Cmd-Space, there is a sound heard from the OS X suggesting I am pressing a shortcut which isn't allowed. There's no visual menu to switch between keyboard layouts. I am most probably stuck with the last keyboard layout used on the last open application which is Bulgarian and since my password is in US, I cannot unlock the computer. I need to reset my computer by holding down the power button in order to be able to log in again.
    This is the first time I felt my Mac is letting me down. To be honest, I can't understand how such a critical bug has managed to go unnoticed by the quality assurance team at Apple.

    Similar probs here as those reported in initial mail of this thread.
    OS X 10.9.2.
    Two input sources installed.
    Both are lattin based. No Cyryllic, nor far East, nor Judish, nor Arabic,....
    Simply two lattin based input sources - keyboards.
    Even under lattin keyboards there are different key layouts.
    I know one possible difference: qwerty and qwertz.
    Possibly there are more other layouts than these two.
    Lets assume these two input sources, layouts: 1 and 2.
    For certain user account the password was set while layout 1 was selected.
    Then the user edits some texts, he selects for this keyboard layout/input source 2.
    User makes Sleep OS X, or logs off.
    Layout 2 keeps to be active.
    User wants to unlock the mac.
    It is not possible because password is konform with layout 1,
    at the time of unlocking however layout 2 is selected.
    It is not possible to select the another layout - user can not unlock os x.

  • Firefox on OS X 10.6.8: How to have a different input source for different tabs in one window (the option "Allow a different one for each document" is on)

    Currently, firefox 29 keeps one language for different tabs in one window. Different windows can have different input sources...

    Thank you for your reply!
    I think I've accidentally marked the problem as solved, but in fact it's not.
    What is needed is that the firefox remember different input methods (languages, for instance, En or Fr) for different tabs so that when I switch between several tabs I don't need to change the layout.
    Chrome remembers my language settings for each tab, so it's not always one language for all the same tabs there. I haven't found such an option in Firefox so far.
    Hope it's clear enough.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Changing "Reel" number keeps reverting back to old number.

    I have a situation where I changed the reel number on about 75 tapes that I have. After changing the #'s, I noticed that about 65 of the changes kept and about 10 keep reverting back to what they were before I changed them. Any ideas on why this is happening? As an example, I had the tapes numbered as: 1001, 1002, 1003, etc but decided to be more specific with my tape labeling and changed them all to HT1_1001, HT1_1002, HT1_1003, etc. All the changes stuck except for a select few. I've even tried dragging the source quicktime file (which is labeled correctly) back into the project...to no avail.

    I don't think I would have thought of that, assuming your capture scratch was all on one drive. Thanks for posting your solution, hardly anyone ever does that around here.

  • Input sources change after restart

    Hello!
    I changed my hard disk, and after reinstalling the system, I noticed that after restart the input source changes to US layout, when my and computer is set to Spanish ISO. I cloned my disk using SuperDuper! and everything went fine.
    What can I do so the computer starts already in Spanish ISO, not US keyboard layout?
    It is an iMac Late 2009, with Fusion Drive and 12 GB memory running Mavericks 10.9.5

    I don't know how to fix it, but it's not just you. I've been seeing it for a couple weeks on a fresh install of Yosemite from a wiped SSD.
    A little extra info, from my situation: when I installed Yosemite I incorrectly selected "US Extended" as the input source to use. Once installed I corrected it to the regular US keyboard, and added my usual Japanese input source. When I restart, both of those disappear and it reverts to US Extended.
    So it's apparently storing the input source used during OS installation somewhere, and hauling that out when I restart. Why and where would it do that, I wonder?
    Remember to give Apple feedback so they they can add you to their count of people that it's affecting!

  • Keyboard input source change not being saved.

    Since upgrading to 10.9 my original French spec Mac Mini reverts to French Keyboard input source when I close down, even after resetting keyboard input source to British PC on the login screen when booting up. Is there a more permanent setting option stored elsewhere?

    Hi Brendan,
    Thanks for the link. I did go into system preferences and checked that British was the default setting. In fact it was the only setting. Have subsequently done a bit more research. Up to now I have been changing input source at the initial login screen from French to British. I have just typed my username and password in using a French keyboard layout without changing the input source from French. It gets me in and the default input source is showing as British, which it is picking up from the system preferences. So there must be a setting somewhere that is specific to the login screen.
    Done some more searching online and it looks like it may be a bug!

    iKey has a little more function then the previous free version called youpi key. For many years, I used youpi key before switching to iKey. It works fairly well for me in MAC OS 10.4 although not officially supported. The youpi key download is hard to find & no longer here.

    A file launcher.
    You can access applications and any other kind of document by browsing fully customizable system-wide spring-loaded menus, pressing hot keys, clicking hot corners, or entering abbreviations. Butler will learn from your habits and remember what you want a certain abbreviation to do (e.g., enter "abo" to launch "Address Book").
    A bookmark manager.
    Butler offers you a way to manage your bookmarks without depending on a certain browser. In contrary to a browser's bookmark collection, Butler's bookmarks are always accessible through its system-wide menus, hot keys, etc. And you'll certainly become addicted to accessing bookmarks by entering abbreviations. Butler also lets you access the bookmarks of every single browser there is for Mac OS X.
    Adding files or URLs from your browser to Butler's configuration is stunningly easy: Just drag them to the active screen corner (default: top left), see Butler's main window open, and drop your items somewhere whithin your configuration.
    A web search utility.
    Butler's predecessor "Another Launcher" was the first application that let you search the web from the menu bar. But if your menu bar is too crowded for an input field, you can also use hot keys to pop up dedicated web search windows. Butler supports a large number of search engines by default, but you are not restricted to those ? you can easily add your own search engines.
    A pasteboard extension.
    Butler lets you access items you have previously stored in your pasteboard, effectively turning your pasteboard into a stack. You can also take a snapshot of your current pasteboard and keep it for good. This feature is particularly useful for text snippets you need to enter on a regular basis.
    And so much more...
    You can use Butler to move and copy files, control iTunes, access the system preferences, change the current user, and so on. But Butler really shines when it comes to customizing its behavior. Is your menu bar too crowded? Use Butler's docklet! Do you want a menu for each mounted volume? Do you want a menu to pop up when you press a certain hot key? Do you want all running applications in your menu bar? Or do you prefer doing things with your keyboard only? Whatever kind of interface you prefer, Butler is at your service.

    Butler's purpose is to make it easier for you to perform different — potentially recurring — tasks. Butler lets you arrange these tasks in its fully customizable configuration. There, you can assign one or more triggers to a task
