US keyboard, Swiss German keyboard?

my mac air has US keyboard. can I change to Swiss German keyboard?

well, I am not an expert, but you can change the keyboard language and import information by going  to system preferences and then "Language and text " .
You will scroll down to 'language and text preferences' and go to  all the tabs at the top here. Input your settings for language, text, formats etc.. Go last to :input sources : put in.:Swiss/German   and then go to  input source options and click on "use the same language on all documents ".
That is all I can tell you..

  • How do I - with Swiss German Keyboard Layout - switch between several windows of the same application, what is the shortcut

    can anyone pls help me with this. plus anbody explain me how this very basic feature that millions of people are using billions of times every day can be that hard to find on a mac?? there is hundreds of posts about this, but nothing for the swiss german keyboard. and apple: can you please make this just that simple and great as all the rest. thank you so much.

    Hi Kappy,
    well what you are saying is obvious to me. This is not the point for me and not what I wanted to know. But I think you answered my question anyway: OS X is unable to switch between windows of the same application as I mentioned in my example.
    WHY NOT???
    Every other OS is able to differentiate between windows and not just applications.
    Another example: The Mail application and an Email editor window. When you are writing an Email and you want to switch to the main window of the Mail application to read something you must again use the mouse!
    I mean Apple seems to be "somehow" using FreeBSD in the background and even in FreeBSD's window manager it is possible to switch between windows of the same application.
    Well, in the Apple world it is always the pour user who is not intelligent enough to understand Apple's philosophy ;-(
    To me this is not modern, it is simply a weakness of the OS.
    Cheers

  • How can I change from the Swiss german language to the Swiss french language and have a keyboard with accent

    I have uggraded the soft on my iPad and now I have not anymore  the swiss french keyboard with accent. I am wondering what to do to go back to a french version ? Thanks for your help.

    Franklin, you ask me to select the French (Switzerland keyboard) but I have not that keyboard on the list !
    Then something is not right with your iOS 5 installation.  You should try resetting your device.
    Every correct iOS 5 install should have the choices French, French (Canada), French (Switzerland) on the list from which you add keyboards.

  • 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!

  • LR 4 and swiss french keyboard issues

    Hello,
    I was looking for the french forum but I was redirected on this one ?
    I am just starting with this product and I have identified some issues.
    - The shorcut contextual menu is not working
    - The shorcuts rotations are not working.
    - The french translation for the rotations shortcuts are wrong. It displays the MAC OS shorcuts.
    - Material : swiss french keybord logitex LX700, LR 4 version 4.0 (2012.04.30) and Windows Vista.
    Is it working for you ?
    Do I missed something during the installation ?

    I wanted to use ctrl+, and ctrl+. like for the swiss german localization. But ctrl+, was not working so I use ctrl+. and ctrl+-
    I keep the german labels to remember that the code was changed.

  • Issue with German Keyboard

    I live in India but i brought my macbook in Switzerland. Now I have the "german keybaord" and i need to remember the keys present in English Keyboard to type (this is coz i opted for some settings in first start up).
    Now i want to stick to german keyboard, i want to type in what i see on my keyboard.
    How is it possible?

    Hi
    If u bought it in Switzerland, you shouldn't have a German Keyboard!
    It's actually a Swiss German or Swiss France Keyboard. To change the Keyboard Layout you go to System Pref. -> International -> Input Menu -> choose Swiss German / Swiss France Keyboard depending which one you have built in.

  • Keyboard Shortcuts to Zoom (Swiss Keyboard)

    According to the German Lightroom Manual, Ctrl+# is used to zoom in, Ctrl+- is used to zoom out, for example while applying corrections with the Adjustment Brush.
    I am running a German version of Lightroom 2.4 with a Swiss German XP and keyboard. Ctrl+- works to zoom out, but Ctrl-# (# is on a AltGr-Key on the Swiss Keyboard) does not work. Does anybody know the keyboard shortcut to zoom in on a Swiss German Keyboard?
    Thanks
    Beat Gossweiler
    Switzerland

    I was able to solve this issue by re-assigning another key ($) instead of the #-key to ZoomInShortcut etc. in file
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2.4\Resources\de\TranslatedStrings.txt.
    I derived this method from this post on Lightroom Forums. Just wanted to let you know in case some other Swiss users are experiencing this problem.

  • How to change keyboard shortcut for cycle through open tabs in PS and AI CC 2014

    I would love to set my own keyboard shortcuts for cycling through open tabs in PS and AI 2014 on OS X. I found out that this can be achieved with ctrl+tab in PS, but I couldn't manage to make any of the suggestions in the forum work for AI. As said, I would like to set a more "standard" shortcut like alt+cmd+arrow-keys for both of the apps. If that shouldn't be possible, does anyone know a shortcut in AI CC 2014?
    Many thanks!
    Amadeus

    Thanks! The shortcut can be set like this in AI, although all key combinations I would want to use are not allowed. Too bad. But anyways, thank you very much for the tip!
    cmd+~ is not an option for me, I guess, since the swiss/german keyboard layout has no dedicated tilde key.
    So, I have a working shortcut in PS (ctrl+tab / of which I still don't know how to change, if possible at all) and thanks to you, I can now set one in AI as well. Unfortunately, I can not set it to be identical as in PS, since the "cmd" key needs to be included in AI's shortcut assignment dialogue, but I guess, this is as good as it gets.

  • SGD 4.6 and Mac OSX 10.6.5 / Keyboard mapping problem

    Dear all
    With Mac Clients we have the problem that Keyboard mapping does not work correctly:
    Swiss German Umlaute like ö ä ü don't appear if we don't specify the xdeswiss.txt keyboard map file under SecurID User Profile - Client Device (we've tried the option Client's Input Locale).
    Now the problem is that we also have Users from Spain, UK, France connection to the same SGD also using the SecurID User profile....
    Anyone an idea how to solve this?
    Best regards
    Werner

    The regular Mac OS X 10.46 updater will only update Mac OS X 10.45. The combo Mac OS X 10.46 updater will update 10.4 through 10.44 as well as 10.45. When performing troubleshooting or replacing missing software components on your computer, it may be useful to rerun the combo updater. If you will be updating from 10.45 to 10.46, you should use the regular updater, as it is a smaller download.

  • Japanese input with non-English keyboard

    I installed a brandnew iMac for my wife. She wanted to have the system in Japanese, however the keyboard layout needs to be Swiss German (where we bought the HW).
    Now - when I use Roman fonts in Text Edit etc with the Swiss Input menu, everything is swell. However, when entering Japanese text, the system assumes an English (US?) keyboard layout. Thus z's become y's, all special characters sit elsewhere on the keyboard etc. A royal mess.
    Any advice?

  • Shortcuts on NON-US Keyboards

    Hi there,
    I know there are already some topics about keyboard shortcuts, but all that seemed relavant to my problem are aleady closed...
    I am using apperture on a MBP with a Swiss-german Keyboard and english as default language.
    All applications adapt their shortcuts to the keyboard layout installed. Not apperture. Even the shortcut overview apple provides proved to be wrong in some parts.
    To promote an image in a stack should work by pressing command + ö, which is just a row under the keys of the US command + [
    What works is command + option + 5 (option + 5 equals [ on a swiss keyboard)
    This shortcut works with the same "characters" but not with the same keys, other shortcuts don't work that way.
    I think remapping all the shortcuts in the system preferences in not a satisfying option, well it may be the only option I have at the moment.
    Is there a full list of swiss shortcuts? Does anyone like to help setting up a new one? I havn't found quite a lot af shortcuts so far.
    Does anyone have a clue wheater that is being adressed soon? I mean a pro application should be propperly localised, doesn't it? And localised shortcuts are a big part of localisation!
    Regards!
    Mac Book Pro Core 2 Duo 2.33   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    I am using apperture on a MBP with a Swiss-german
    Keyboard and english as default language.
    Me too.
    At least for some menu commands, you can define another key combo via System Preferences. For example, I set Show/Hide Loupe to "option-L", Decrease Zoom to "option-,", and Increase Zoom to "option-." (if you have a Swiss German keyboard, you'll see why this set of shortcuts can make sense... .
    Simply open System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse > Keyboard Shortcuts and add the above settings for Aperture. Aperture will even show the new defs in its menus.
    FWIW.
    With regards
