TestStand 2010 SP1 - Expression switches the keyboard layout

Hello,
we are switching from TestStand 2010 to TestStand 2010 SP1, and today I noticed the follow behavior.
If I place the cursor in an Expression of a step, the keyboard layout switches from german (DE) to englisch (US).
You can imagine that's very unfavorable to program.The problem occurs on several machine running WindowsXP.
Funnily enough on a pc with Win7, all is looking good. Furthermore I can't discover such behavior on previous versions of TestStand.
Has somebody an idea?
Thanks in advance
Carsten

Change the HTML Report format the same as TestStand 2010 SP1 in TestStand 2012

I have a lot of test steps (~10K) that gets executed and the indentations on HTML report format in TestStand 2012 gets too deep. I have to slide the horizontal bar to the right to see the report when l'm in the middle. I did not have this issue in TestStand 2010 SP1.
Is ther a way to change the HTML Report format (style) the same as TestStand 2010 SP1 in TestStand 2012?

dexrays:
We are currently investigating this issue. In order to help us with the investigation could you post a sequence file and configuration that reproduce the problem? The configuration file is located in C:\ProgramData\National Instruments\TestStand 2012\Cfg\ModelPlugins\ResultProcessing.cfg for Windows Vista / Windows 7 or you can use the Cfg link in the TestStand 2012 installation directory.
You can use the Legacy Model Switcher (included in TestStand 2012) to use the legacy models instead of the new models. The legacy models are more backward compatible, however, this also means that you will not be able to use the improvements in the new models (for example, the new plug-in architecture). If this is acceptable then you can use the legacy model switcher to switch to the legacy models. The Legacy Model Switcher is located in the Start Menu under Programs->National Instruments->TestStand 2012->Tools->Compatibility. For more information on Legacy Model Switcher please read the online help.
Thanks for your report and for your help with diagnosing this issue.

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?

TestStand 2010 SP1 support Mac Operating System?

Hi,
The TestStand 2010 SP1 does not support Mac Operating System?
It only supports Windows Operating System
Please confirm

I have been noticing alot of activity recently in the Test Engineering world for Non Windows Platforms for scripting which TestStand is good at. A lot of the industry is moving towards open source scripting languages such as Ruby and Python in which LabView applications and other programming languages can be called from. This means test applications can no longer can be platform dependent since Python, Ruby are not OS dependent. Those type of test applications can be run on Mac- OS, Linux and Windows, etc. with very minmal code modifications between them. For one example see:

Exchange a brand new computer because of the keyboard layout ?

Hi !
I'm currently in Finland for work, and I bought a Macbook Air, it's brand new so.
But I didn't thought of the keyboard layout, which is of course Finnish;
Do you think I can exchange this MBA with a one with the correct layout back in my country;
Or is it better to return this MBA here, and buy a new one once I'm home ?
I'd like to be able to return or exchange the MBA in my country, is the refund/exchange policy international ?
Thanks

The European law state you have anyway a 7 day open box return policy for this kind of product, I think I'll go to the store and ask if they can exchange it for one with international/US keyboard or give me a refund if they havn't got one.
I got a callback appointement with Apple Support France tomorrow (my country) to ask them if it's possible to use the warranty to exchange layout. But as you said, I don't think it's possible since the keyboard is working perfectly fine..

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.

Can't change the keyboard layout in Xorg

I tried the different possibilities in the wiki to change the keyboard layout in X. setxkbmap does work, but I'd like to keep the settings across reboots. I tried the two methods in the wiki, here are my config files:
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf (created by localectl)
# Read and parsed by systemd-localed. It's probably wise not to edit this file
# manually too freely.

In your .xinitrc file put setxkbmap yy & (yy=country code for example de) before it executes your de/wm.

Trying to change the keyboard layout on my 5800

I simply want to change the keyboard layout to Dvorak (because that is the layout I use). It is not one you can buy the phone with.
I've done many hours of searching and it seems the only thing that may have done it was MagicKey which can remap keys. However MagicKey is now UNUSABLE because it is not signed and the Symbian people do not allow you to sign it in any way (even self sign) if you are not the original developer of the app.

hi there,
could you provide the community with a little more information to help narrow troubleshooting? What is your operating system and what program are we printing from? Does this happen with all documents (like word and notepad or similar)?

Where's the keyboard layout preference file?

I'm having an irritating problem with my preferred keyboard layout (Canadian) mysteriously reverting to other layouts, even though I have disabled all but the Canadian layout. It's only happening in one of my user accounts. So I'm looking for the keyboard layout .plist file to trash, but I can't find it. Can anybody help me locate it?
Thanks

Hello,
Check out this link: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75066
When you originally set up your eMac, you would have used the SetUp Assistant... there's information at the link above that might help.
I've searched high and low for a preference file that might be related. You could trash your com.apple.systempreferences.plist but you would have to reset your System Preferences system wide. If you want to try that go to the user account in question. Go here: /Library/Preferences. Locate the com.apple.systempreferences.plist file and drag it to the Desktop. Open System Preferences and reset the keyboard (Canadian) and see if that helps. If that resolves the problem, then that com.apple.systempreferences.plist file should go to the Trash. The next time you open System Preferences your eMac will create a new pref file for you.

TS1702 The keyboard layout is critically wrong, that does not allow quick writing. Users reach the numbers with two step keyboard hits (forward and back). It is really vital to have number 0-9 keys in the default keyboard window. Develop these changes ple

I want to open a discussion about keyboard layout on iPAD´s, including the best one iPAD4. How one can design such sofisticated technical item for diverse work/activity, includes mainly for note writings and meetings, but the writing procedure is so slow becuase of the keyboard layout. It is really crucial to solve this problem in order to avoid developing additional keyboard from third-party developers. This function has to be integrated, namely: TO HAVE A COMPLETE SEETING OF LETTERS AND NUMBERS IN THE DEFAULT KEYBOARD LAYOUT, FOR EFFICIENT WRITINGS.
WHAT YOU THINK ???

This is an iPad user to user forum. Apple doesn't read or respond. You can make a suggestion.
Send feedback to Apple.

I bought a case with a bluetooth connected keyboard. Much easier to use than the on-screen keyboard if you do a lot of typing. You can use many/most computer wireless keyboards with the iPad.

HT1492 Does anyone knows how to change the keyboard layout in single user mode, please ?

Hello,
The question is in the title.
Thank you.

The only way you might do it is use one of the Unix editors to edit the plist file it gets the settings from once it boots in the GUI mode. 'vi' is present in all Macs, and you might have pico, nano, emacs, or ed depending on what was installed. The keyboard layout while in single user mode itself I think is generic to where the Mac was bought and what keyboard was ordered with it, when it came from the store. Since you posted in the 10.3 or earlier forum, chances are if this has changed, few people would know for certain. If you have a newer Mac, say 2006 or later, you should really post in the correct forum:

Lumia Black Update has changed the keyboard layout

I updated to Lumia Black on my 920, and the keyboard layout changed - most importantly, the space bar is smaller, and the comma moved, which means all of my messages typed now,look,like,this,
Can you revert the whole update or change the keyboard? It's enough for me to abandon the phone (that and the fact the screen appears to have been heat damaged by the wireless charger)

This has resolved my issue! Thanks Yas..

Greetings, I have an iPod Touch, that I recently tried to access the apps store. I can't enter my password, due to not being able to switch the keyboard to lower case letters. I tapped on the arrow up button, and it makes a click sound, but the letters do not change. Am I doing something wrong?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Where's the Keyboard layout Map?

I remember in OS 9 there was a Keyboard option which would open a simulation of a keyboard that showed how the individual keys would change when you held down the "Option" key, or the "Command" key, etc.
I want to type out the number zero with the slash through the middle (so it's clearly distinguished from the letter O) but I can't find the keyboard layout option. Anyone know where it is in Tiger?

System prefs -> International.
Select Input Menu.
At the bottom, select Show input menu in menu bar.
In the keyboard layouts, check Keyboard viewer then close prefs.
Next to the clock select the international drop down and select Show Keyboard viewer.
It’ll stay open until you select Hide Keyboard viewer.
