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 - 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

  • [Solved]switch my keyboard layout (also, how to unify clipboard?)

    ok, i want to switch between us and us intl layout. After reading the Xorg page in the great Arch Wiki i maded
    a file called "11-switchkb.conf" in my xorg folder and writed into it:
    Section "InputClass"
           Identifier                         "Keyboard Defaults"
           MatchIsKeyboard            "yes"
           Option                             "XkbLayout" "us, us intl"
           Option                             "XkbOptions" "grp:caps_toggle"
    EndSection
    and i happyli restared my X and... My keyboard stopped working ( i had to brute shutdown my notebook holding power button)
    I also tried 10-switchkb.conf and didnt worked.  What im doing wrong?
    My second question i dont know how to explain it right... Im confused about copy and paste in linux, and it's seems weird for me,
    sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt...
    like when i highlight something in uzbl i can paste with shift+insert but
    only while its highlighted. Sometimes i highlight what i want in vim and, even while its still highlighted, when i do shift+insert
    in some other app it doesnt paste anything. and when i highlight in vim and paste in the same vim whith shift+insert it pastes
    with a crazy indentation, but when i yank and paste it with 'p' it pastes correctly.
    Is there a way to "unify" clipboard, in such a way i can copy-paste without trouble from any app to any other app?

    Thanks for the help guys!
    Great answers, that was exactly what i wanted for my clipboard and Vim! (I'll read about buffers).
    stqn : Nice script, i'll try to bind it to xMonad.
    Karol: I can solve the issue with sqn script but im curious to why my X
    does not detect my keyboard when i use the Xorg Arch Wiki way of

  • Xfce4 keyboard layout switcher

    I am having a strange issue with setting up xfce4 on my fathers' laptop. Every time I switch the keyboard layout, the x terminal emulator start acting weird:
    [jarda-wien@primator ~]$ whoami
    jarda-wien
    [jarda-wien@primator ~]$ echo hello
    bash: echo hello: command not found
    [jarda-wien@primator ~]$ ping www.google.com
    bash: ping www.google.com: command not found
    [jarda-wien@primator ~]$ echo $PATH
    bash: echo /bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/opt/java/jre/bin:/usr/bin/perlbin/site:/usr/bin/perlbin/vendor:/usr/bin/perlbin/core:/opt/qt/bin: No such file or directory
    Before switching the keyboard, everything works fine... As this doesn't happen on virtual terminal, it may be an xorg/xfce issue. What do you make of it?

    ok so I've made a workaround for that... The problem seems to be not only xfce4 related as the same behavior can be seen on yakuake running on xfce4 and every other terminal emulator I have tried, as well as on openbox and all the terminals. Anyway, here's the fix:
    Remove any
    Option "XkbLayout" "us,cz"
    Option "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle"
    and install xbindkeys from extra.
    Next edit and save the following script somewhere:
    #!/bin/bash
    # Put your desired layouts, space separated, between the brackets
    layout=(us de cz)
    # Main code, do not change, unless you know what you're doing
    current=$( setxkbmap -print | grep -o 'pc+[a-zA-Z0-9_-/]*' | sed 's/pc+//' )
    num=${#layout[@]}
    i=0
    for use in ${layout[@]} ; do
    i=$[ i + 1 ]
    if [[ $current = $use ]] ; then
    if [[ $i -eq $num ]] ; then
    setxkbmap ${layout[0]}
    break
    else
    setxkbmap ${layout[$i]}
    break
    fi
    fi
    done
    exit $?
    Make the script executable and try it! It should cycle through the specified layouts. The next step is to map the script to a keyboard shortcut in .xbindkeysrc (look up how in the wiki...)
    Everything works now, even after switching the layout!!!

  • Cannot switch keyboard layout in applets using system settings

    I use Java Plugin Version 1.5.0 (build 1.5.0_09-b01) on Windows XP SP2 and if try to switch a keyboard layout, for example, from English to Russian, it switches only by pressing Ctrl+Shift+Shift instead of Ctrl+Shift, that used in system settings. How to obtain a switching a keyboard layout using system settings?

    Although in settings the "english" keyboard is ticked as selected
    Are you referring to the Language section of settings? If so, that has nothing to do with keyboards.
    when checking in settings the word britsh appears underneath Dutch
    You can rearrange the order of the keyboards by poking the Edit button and holding down the symbol at the far right of each keyboard name in the keyboard list (3 horizontal bars). See if that helps.

  • [SOLVED]Keyboard layout messy after wake up or using KVM-switch

    After waking up the computer from suspension or using my KVM-switch, the keyboard layout is pretty messed up.
    "qwertzuiopü+" becomes ".,ñpyfgchl"
    "asdfghjklöä#" becomes "aoeuidrtnsḉ"
    "<yxcvbnm,.-" becomes "<-qjkxbmwvz"
    I know the origin of the problem is that XKB is only set by my .xinitrc. But how can I bypass this? How can I set XKB with the German layout by default?

  • 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?

    * 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)

  • Keyboard layout

    We are testing a java application under web start
    on a machine with two keyboard layouts (windows 2000).
    it seems that web start switches the selected
    keyboard layout arbitrary,
    sometimes english and sometimes german.
    Does anybody have experiences with this problem ?

    Yes, I mean the tray keyboard change:
    It switches back and forth.
    I do not switch the keyboard layout in the
    JAVA application, it seems that
    Web Start switches it by any reason.
    This does not happen on every machine
    ( all tests under w2k ).

  • Input options: Language & Keyboard Layout

    I've not found a complete answer to my problem.
    I live in Paris and London. I work in English and French. I write emails and texts in English and French. I do not want to switch between keyboard layouts (EN and FR) just to change the language. I dont know the FR keyboard layout and it's unreasonable to think that I should have to switch to that layout just to get french input language support (predictive typing support).
    How can I use the EN layout and type in French and English. I dont mind pushing a button to switch, like my Sony Erikson, i just hold down a key and it lets me switch input languages - but doesn't change my keyboard layout.
    Am I wrong to assume this is unreasonable? What options do I have ?
    thanks

    I have exactly the same problem and it is driving me crazy to such an extent I am considering abandoning the iPhone; I am British but I have to write alot of messages in French and the iphone is always replacing the correct French words with British ones!
    It seems that Apple has not yet understood that one can work in several languages at once; I live in Switzerland so I am only offered French versions of software and hardware on the Apple site when I want British ones - it was impossible to buy a 17 inch laptop with a British keyboard here even though there are many thousands of English speaking residents.
    If you here of a solution I should be very grateful to know about it

  • 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.

  • Keyboard layout switching not working

    i use xfce4 and i created /etc/X11/xorg.conf
    Section "InputClass"
        Identifier             "Keyboard Defaults"
        MatchIsKeyboard        "yes"
        Option                 "XkbLayout" "us, ar"
        Option                 "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle"
    EndSection
    but it's not working.
    xfce4 has a program called Keyboard in settings menu, i used it it gives the ability to add another language but it doesnt has a switching capability.

    I don't use keyboard layout switch through xorg.conf because it stops to work sometimes(if i use setxkbmap for example).
    So i am using setxkbmap in .xinitrc.
    setxkbmap -model pc105 \
    -layout "de,ru" \
    -variant "basic,phonetic" \
    -option -option "grp:sclk_toggle, grp_led:scroll, terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp, caps:none"
    and "kbdd" for remembering layout for each window.
    Change it to your needs or check the arch wiki about xorg.conf.d .

  • Keyboard layout keeps switching after 10.9.4 upgrade

    After the recommended upgrade to Maverick 10.9.4, all of us in my group have the problem that the keyboard layout keeps switching every time a new Word document is opened (and possibly on a number of other occasions).
    We have MacBookPros 2011, 2012, 2013, all regretting having upgraded to OsX 10.9.4. As per instructions, mine's a Retina late 2013 and got a 2.8 GhZ i7 with 8GB 1600MHz DDR3, 500GB SSD - no performance issues!
    There have been two discussion threads as far as I can see; none with a solution.
    "Fixing" the keyboard to a single one is not an option for polyglot people like us who actually need several keyboard layouts.
    I have fed back to Apple as recommended weeks ago, but to no avail so far.
    This persistent problem is driving all of us mad. Does no one on this list have any answers? Surely there's some setting somewhere that turned a perfectly well working system (10.9.3) into one that's costing us tens of minutes every single day (10.9.4)?
    Thanks in advance,
    Alexander

    There is a box that no one had mentioned...
    System Preferences---> Keyboard---> Input Source---> Uncheck the "Automatically switch to a document's input source. The input source is used until the document is closed."
    kafetzou... You may want to delete the Turkish keyboard so that the English is on top of the list. Then re-add the Turkish keyboard, this will make it under the English. Though I don't know if this will help your problem, or the box that I mentioned above.

  • 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.
    Here is the Russian community:

  • Smart keyboard layout switching

    Unfortunately the Arch team has rejected the patch https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/26490
    Quote:
    ""...By default xorg switches keyboard layout on keys press (but it SHOULD do that when keys are released). For example, if we have ctrl+shift to change layout and ctrl+shift+tab to navigate to previous tab then we are unable to use second shortcut..."
    What are possible legal Arch ways to get this functionality?

    Make your own PKGBUILD and apply the patch yourself. It does come with the disadvantage that you will need to compile the xorg-server yourself every-time there is an update.

    Seriously though, it looks fine to me. There's a wiki article http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Con … youts_in_X
    I'd try adding
    Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
    although that could be automatic.
    Oops! it's my typo when posting that post...
    Added Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
    but still doesn't work...:(
