Swiss keyboard-layout only french version! Need german version (ö,ä,ü)

Hi folks,
I use a swiss keyboard on my Mac under Bootcamp. Problem, there are two different
layouts here in Switzerland for the same kayboard. One is in french, one is german.
Bootcamp seems to support both of them, but its not true. Both keyboard layouts
are similar. Either layout: "Deutsch > Schweiz (Apple)" or "Französich > Schweiz (Apple)
in both layouts, the key é, è, à still are é, è and à instad of changing to ö, ü, ä.
This is really bad... the programmer should come visit switzerland, and see why this works like that!
what can I do?
kind regards.

Hi Xenitra
I had the exact same problem when using Parallels Desktop. I resolved the problem by downloading and installing "Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator 1.4" as source I chose " existing keyboard -> Schweiz(Apple) and did the necessary modifications for ä.ö,ü resp. é,à,è and saved and verified the new keyboard layout.
Then I selected build which created the application to install the new keyboard layout in the system.
Finally I chose my new layout, et voilà ;-) Should work also with bootcamp.

Japanese IME with non American (- Swiss) Keyboard layout?

Hi, I am trying to use the Japanese IME to type some japanese. However that seems to change the underlying keyboard layout assumed as well - with the IME I now get Z, Y, *, (, ) and other characters when pressing the keys they are normally assigned to on an American keyboard:
http://www.dtp-transit.jp/images/apple-keyboards-US-JIS.jpg
which is different from the Swiss layout:
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/e1/Keyboard_Layout_Swiss.png
For example, in the Swiss keyboard, the * character is suppsed to be Shift+3, but in the American it's shift 8 and so with the japanese IME on, I only get it that way.
Is there some way to select the keyboard layout used with the Japanese IME? On Windows, this requires a hack (you need to tell the IME which keyboard layout dll to use via the registry), but it is at least possible:

Is there some way to get the Japanese IME on Mac to use the Swiss keyboard layout? I wouldn't bother having to manually recreate it if that was the only option, but tell me where to start.
Thanks in advance,
Paul

You set it in the Kotoeri preferences, found toward the bottom of the "flag" menu when one of the Japanese IM's is active:

I have just Purchased a Swiss laptop with Swiss keyboard layout, on set up I selected English as language , but had no option to select german keyboard only Uk, now laptop is set up how do I change keyboard back to german

Help

Hello!
Open System Preferences from the  menu.
Then choose the "Language & Text" tab.
Then choose "Input Sources".
If you first check "Swiss German", you will be able to uncheck the UK layout. Or you can keep both and be able to switch rapidly between them if you check "Show Input method in menu bar".
Hope this helps!

How to setup german keyboard layout?

I am currently working on a german layout.
If I click on the keyboard indicator on the toolbar there are a couple of already existing keyboard layouts (beside english) but not german.
So how can I install german keyboard layout on an existing Solaris 10 or OpenSolaris 2009.06 machine?
Peter

It is a known bug on the Asus Transformer. Firefox works fine with it as a tablet. Though we still have some issues to sort out with the hardware keyboard. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=669361

MacBook Pro with Swiss keyboard in US Stores

Dear all,
I am looking for a MacBook Pro with a swiss keyboard layout. I know that the Store in Switzerland is selling such laptops, however they don't deliever to US. Since the MBPs are produced at the same location, there is only an Apple "internal"-ordering issue, which needs to be addressed to solve my problem.
Does anyone knows if this is possible? I mean you can order Norwegian keyboards in the US store besides many other layouts.
kind regards

I'm an American student looking to buy a MacBook Pro
with a Hebrew keyboard in the United States. I've
seen these laptops in Israel, but they're much more
expensive there. Does anyone know if these are
available in America either online or in-store?
I don't think there is any way to get that in the US. An alternative would be to use skins or keyboard stickers.
Here is some general info on typing Hebrew, in case it is of interest:

Buy new MacBook in Paris (with English keyboard layout)

I want to buy new Macbook in Paris with US keyboard layout not French one. Since there are no official Mac Store in France how can I do that ?
Oh one more thing. I also want to laser Russian alphabet on buttons in Paris. Is it possible to do that ?

http://store.apple.com/fr - this is a reseller.
No, it's not, not if you mean an independently-owned company apart from Apple. It's the official Apple Store, owned by Apple. When you order from that Apple Store, you're ordering directly from Apple.
why don't they writу full number with France code - as far as I know it is 33. so it is 33 0800 046 046
Probably because they assume that anyone ordering from the French Apple Store is in France and so doesn't need the country code. Why you can't get through to that number from another country, as I presume you're attempting, I can't say.
Well the information I have from Russian reseller is that they order them from US or UK they do not laser buttons in Russia.
Again, what Apple can and will do for a distributor/dealer is different from what they can do for an individual purchaser. Apple computers sold in a given country are usually only sold with a keyboard applicable to that country. Getting a different keyboard is often just not possible as may well be the case for you.
A workaround might be to get a MacBook with a keyboard from another language and get a set of Russian keyboard overlay stickers. Another possibility would be to purchase an external USB keyboard with Russian keys. Neither option would be an elegant solution but it might be worth it if you can save as much as you say by buying in France. Again, though, note that Apple France will not ship a system to you in Russia (or any other country); you'd have to go to France to get it.

Steel series keyboard layout?

Hi,
Do you know if in Europe GS70 has QWERTY keyboad layout only, or they have specialized per country, like AZERTY in France, german letters in Germany, etc?
Because I need QWERTY, but i'm afraid to order it from a different country
Thanks in advance,
J.

Just like you mentioned, some country like France, Germany... has their specialized keyboard layout.
If you need QWERTY, I'll suggest you to check with your local MSI retailer and see if your country has QWERTY layout keyboard.
If not, either you can buy the QWERTY layout from another country, or you can also ask your local service center to order one piece of QWERTY layout keyboard for you and you can buy the keyboard and exchange it.

Buy a different keyboard layout

Hi
I'm a Swiss guy living in Spain. Now I'd like to get a new MacBook Pro but with Swiss keyboard layout. It looks as if that wouldn't be possible from the shop. In the Spanish shop I can only choose between español and international english and US (I guess). In the Swiss store, I cannot ship to Spain...
So, what can I do?

Sure, that are possibilities but they would or could all get me in problems with customs (or force me to spend a lot more money).
And my next visit home isn't planned so soon
My question rather is wether there's some possibility to get a different keyboard via the apple store.

FCS doesn't remember my Keyboard Layout

Hello everyone !
I'm living in France, I have a french keyboard, however my system is in English and all my applications are in English.
I've taken out from the package the keyboard layout for french keyboard in FCP. I put it in my FCP User Settings. I launched the application, choose the french keyboard layout (it then gives me the same alert message than whan I was with Mac OS X (10.4) : "Keys may not match properly". But then if I quit FCP and launch it again, the keys shortcuts don't work ("jkl" or "b" or any of them). I have to choose again the Keyboard Layout inf the Keyboard Menu. And that's boring...
(and I have to say it works perfectly on Tiger, it just appeared since Leopard).
I've tried to trash de FCP User Settings Folder, but it's the same.
Any ideas ?
Thanks !

If you use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the 'Browsing History' when you close Firefox then restoring tabs from the last session ("Save & Quit" or "Show my windows and tabs from last time") doesn't work.

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:

Assign German keyboard layout to English input source?

I have a MacBook Pro with a German keyboard layout (physical). If I change the input source to US English, Mac would not recoginze the German keyboard layout (i.e. it prints Z when I press Y). Is there a way to assign German keyboard layout to the US English input source? So I can type English using the physical German keyboard.
The reason why i need US English input source is MS Office for Mac automatically changes the proofing language based on the input source.
i have ukelele installed but am not sure the best way to do it.

Nobody does that as far as I know. How about Tools > Language to change the language of your doc to whatever you want?
http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/word-2011-for-mac-changing-the-dictionary- to-a-dif.html
Plus for the default template if you want
"Open a blank document. On the Tools menu choose language. Choose the language version you want to use. Click the DEFAULT button to change that to the default language. Close the dialog and then quit Word. When prompted whether you want to save changes to the Normal template (that's the default template), choose yes, you do want to save the changes."

Keyboard layout issue only with Windows 7, not Windows 8

Hello,
I have a strange behaviour with Remote Desktop on Windows 7. I have a RDS 2012R2 deployment, with TS Gateways, broker and remote desktop collection. I have published a RemoteApp.
My issue is with the keyboard layout send by the client. My server is in English - Swiss French keyboard.
With my Windows 8 client, keyboard in "French", the keyboard used in my RemoteApp is correctly set to "French"
With my Windows 7 client, keyboard in "French", the keyboard used in my RemoteApp is set to "Swiss - French". This is not the correct layout.
Why under Windows 7 the keyboard layout is not send correctly ?

Hi Sebastien,
Initially please use latest RDP version 8.1 for windows 7 and check the result.
If you want the session to use the default keyboard layout stored in the user profile instead of the layout provided by the Remote desktop Server client after the user logs on to the Remote desktop Server computer, you can set the IgnoreRemoteKeyboardLayout
registry value to 1. After users first connect to the Remote desktop Server computer, configure the default keyboard layout and input language that you want, and then log off. All later user logons will use the default keyboard layout and input language from
the profile.
To do so, please perform the following steps:
1. On the remote desktop server, click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
2. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout
3. On the Edit menu, click Add Value, and then add the following registry information:
Value name: IgnoreRemoteKeyboardLayout
Data type: REG_DWORD
Value data: 1
4. Quit Registry Editor.
After you first connect to the Remote desktop Server computer, configure the default keyboard layout and input language that you want, and then log off. All later user logons will use the default keyboard layout and input language from the profile.
Hope it helps!
Thanks.
