Virtual keys - JIS keyboard layouts

I have found that the mapping of virtual key codes to actual characters is not exactly right using a Mac JIS keyboard and the US layout. For instance, the @ sign is on the key next to the 'P' key. Using a non-Mac JIS keyboard and setting the US layout gives the expected result: the @ sign is on the same key as '2'
Is there some way to tell Carbon that when I post a keyboard event (CGPostKeyboardEvent()) for the virtual key code corresponding to key '2', I want the receiver program to get a @ sign (if shift is being pressed)?

Thanks guys for your help. Much appreciated.
I tried your suggestion to reset the SMC, but unfortunately it didn't help.
So I rang the Apple customer service here in Japan. To my surprise the phone call was toll-free, even from a mobile. They were very helpful and even called me back several times. I usually only complain about Apple customer service in Japan, so it's nice to be able to say something nice about them for a change.
Anyway, my keyboard is working properly again now, and I'll write about how it got fixed so in case anybody else has this problem they can find some help here.
So, resetting the SMC didn't work, so we tried clearing the PRAM by restarting and holding CMD-OPT-P-R. According to the Apple operator, that usually helps with this problem, but it didn't in my case.
Next we created a new user account to see if the problem was system-wide, or just specific to my user account. The keyboard worked fine in the new account, so the problem was specific to my user account, which suggested that the problem was in one of the libraries (.plist).
The operator consulted her techies and called me back. Unfortunately, there was no way to find the problem without going through every .plist one by one, so in the end I had to do an 'erase and install'. So I backed up with Time Machine and reinstalled.
When I restored from Time Machine, I had to do it manually by dragging and dropping from my external hard drive. I restored everything EXCEPT the 'library' folder. The operator went through the back-up library folder with me, taking only those .plists that I really needed, such as my email settings etc.
And that's it. Finished. Took me ages, and I'll never know what caused the problem in the first place.
Thanks again for your help, everyone.

Adding keys to Albanian keyboard Layout

To whom it may concer,
I am writing about this topic due to the issue of currency key in keyboard layout. In some languages there is a key that you can enter directly using a combination of several key like it is in swedish you put Fn + key E you get euro sign.
Is it possible to add such key into Albanian keyboard layout that is provided by OS Windows 8.1?
Regards
Ahmet Murati

Hi
Ahmet Murati,
According to your description, you want to use a combination of several key to output specific Albanian characters, right? If I misunderstand your true meaning, please feel free to let me know.
I think we need to add Albanian Language firstly.
1.Open Control Panel, click Language.
2.On the Language, and click "Add a language" option to add Albanian language.
Then, we need to choose this language when you type the word.
ë = CTRL + " then e, or Alt + 0235
Ë = CTRL + " then E, or Alt + 0203
ç = CTRL +, then c, or Alt + 0231
Ç = CTRL +, then C, or Alt + 0199

Buggy US keyboard layout on JIS keyboard

My Mac Aluminum JIS keyboard does not give the proper symbols when using a US layout. Correct me if I am wrong, but I expect the '@' sign when pressing the Shift+'2' key combination. Instead of this I get '"'. Is there any way to get the mapping right using Carbon?

Contact an Apple retail store directly yourself and ask if they can make a special order for you.
http://www.apple.com/retail/storelist/

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?

See:
* 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)

[Solved]Keyboard layout screwed up and some keys don't work

After I reinstalled xorg-server 1.5.3-1 and installed xf86-input-evdev 2.0.1-1 and xf86-input-keyboard 1.3.1-1 some of my keys don't work and keyboard layout screwed up. I had finnish (fi) layout, but now it's "us". Arrows, insert- delete- home- end- pg up- pg down- print screen- scroll lock- pause- keys don't work. All characters behind Alt Gr + "" don't work either.
How to fix this?

Key "N" working as N+ALT when i have multiple keyboard layouts

I have a weird issue ... I am using an apple aluminium keyboard with un-apple-keyboard, and remapped to act as a regular keyboard. I have used wiki article to achieve this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Apple_Keyboard ...
When I have only default EN keyboard layout installed, everything is fine, but when i add any additional layout (in my case Hungarian or/and Serbian) the key "N" starts to act kinda as ALT key... let me explain. when i press N it acts like i have pressed N and holding ALT... for example if i press n and f after it then i get this in console:
N^[F
this is very frustrating because as i type i often end up in a programs menu {ALT+* combinations} , or with some unwanted chars...
I have tried many combination, but i could not solve the issue, so ANY idea/tip is welcome.
Thanks in advance

Check out the "/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/" folder and edit whatever layout you're using (I'm guessing "rs"):
$ ls /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/
# nano /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/rs
As you can see, there are more variants in there, so try another variant.
If you have previously edited this file, maybe it will help to find out what package owns that file and reinstall it:
$ pacman -Qo /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/rs
/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/rs is owned by xkeyboard-config 2.6-1
# pacman -S xkeyboard-config
Note that the "N" key is awfully close to AltGr (the right-side Alt). Maybe it's a hardware issue? Apple peripherals are overpriced pieces of faeces (mice and headphones mostly. Don't know about the keyboard; I'd much rather buy something else in the same price range).

Hot keys is not working in other keyboard layouts

Hi!
Hot keys only work in English keyboard layout, even in Fireworks CS6. For example if you need to type some Russian text you have to swith to English, press "T", switch to Russisn, type in the text, hit "Esc", swith back to English, hit "V". Consumes a lot of time when working with texts.
Is there any way to fix it?

Customized keyboard layouts - modifier keys

Hi,
I have a question relating to the modifier keys in a customized keyboard layouts.
One can modify existing layouts or create new ones in the form of a .keylayout XML file in /Library/keyboard Layouts or ~/Library/keyboard Layouts.
According to "Technical Note TN2056" of Apple's online reference, http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/technotes/tn2002/tn2056.html, it is possible to discriminate between the "left" and "right" versions of the modifier keys (e.g. option - "left Option" and rightOption - "right Option"). However, on my mbp 13" all modifier keys seem to be recognized as their "left" versions by the system.
Is this a known problem? Does anybody know a way to obtain a keyboard layout which can discriminate between left/ and right-modifiers?
Jan

This is from the document you cited.
Note that many hardware keyboards do not have both left and right versions of a modifier key. It is usually safest to specify modifers in terms of the "any" variants (anyShift, anyOption, anyControl).

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.
http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html
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.

Bug report: A keyboard layout is incorrect on the remote with Japanese keyboard

This is a bug report for Microst Remote Desktop
===================================================
## Summary
A keyboard layout is incorrect on the remote with Japanese keyboard
## Version Information, I tested
* Client
   * Case 1
       * MacBook Pro with JIS106 Keyboard
       * Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5
       * Microsoft Remote Desktop 8.0.24308
   * Case 2
       * MacBook Pro with JIS106 Keyboard
       * Mac OS X Mavericks 10.9.1
       * Microsoft Remote Desktop 8.0.24308
* Remote
   * Case 1
       * Windows 7 Professional Japanese
   * Case 2
       * Windows Server 2008R2 Datacenter Japanese
   * Case 3
       * Windows Server 2012R2 Datacenter Japanese
## Detail of bug
When login from Mac OS X with Microsoft Remote Desktop, the keyboard layout is always incorrect on the remote.
The client machine have a built-in keyboard of JIS 106 layout,
and the primary language is set to Japanese.
But on the remote, the keyboard layout is US 101.
So a input of Shift+2 does not result " but @.
I've seen the above behavior on the 3 remote enviornments described the above.
This bug did not occcur with Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection Client for Mac 2.1.1, even if the system language is English and keyboard layout is Japanese.
## Captures
I've took some of screen captures.
I'm sorry for the capture includes Japanese words, so I added description in English.
Capture 1:
Mac OS X Keyboard Setting
Capture 2:
Windows Server 2012R2 Screen Keyboard
Capture 3:
Windows Server 2012R2 Screen Keyboard, with a additional registry key configured.

This bug also affects the Canadian English settings. If the client is set to Canadian English with a US keyboard the remote server is setup using a Canadian French keyboard. Using the language selection in the toolbar you can temporarily correct
the problem but the keyboard resets to french at the most inopportune times. The was a problem in the earlier RDP client and was fixed so it's sad to see it reoccur in the new client.

Can I use US keyboard as Japanese (jis) keyboard?

Hi,
I'm new to these forums, and I speak and do business in Japanese. Because of this, I need Japanese input on my MacBook, and I am familiar with the Kotoeri setup in Mac OS X and use it often. However, after living in Japan for several years with an Intel Core2Duo iMac with a Japanese JIS keyboard (US keyboard also with Japanese characters on it), I would like to use my US keyboard built into the MacBook as a JIS keyboard. By this I am asking if it is possible to set up a new keyboard map for the keyboard (so when I press the "a" key for example, the Japanese character "ち" is input).
I would be extremely grateful for any help.
Thank you,
Tom

I don't know of any way to make your keyboard pretend it is a full JIS keyboard, but there are two things you can do:
+Use Kotoeri Preferences to switch to Kana Typing (Operation > Input Style) . That means a generates ち
+Use the app Ukelele to create a custom keyboard layout.

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:
http://nejtj.blogspot.ch/2011/09/howto-japanese-ime-with-non-japanese.html
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:

HT2587 Keyboard Layout Creator. Unfortunately I do not find any layout with the word "Apple" behind it out of the list.

I was not able to find a specific keyboard layout with the following word "Apple" in parenthesis.
Using Keyboard Layout Creator v1.4
Did someone else?
Thank you.

All those layouts should work with Windows XP, Vista, 7 and 8...
You get the parenthesis, the @ sign and other symbols exactly on the same key on OS X and Windows (see last 2 screen shots for the Swiss French layout).
The only difference is that on Windows to "alt/option" you must either [ctrl] + [alt left] or [alt right].
For a reminder if you want to toggle between "standard function keys" and "special features printed on each key" you can set this in "System Preferences > Keyboard" and "BootCamp Control Panel" respectively on OS X and Windows.

Is there an application that will allow to create a custom keyboard layout (Armenian for instance) for iPhone5?
Thanks in advance.
