What input source for english (international)" keyboard?

I have a new MacBook Pro 15" with an english (International) keyboard layout. I can't find any input source that matches my keyboard layout in System Preferences > Language & Text > Input sources. US layout is close, but which one exactly matches my keyboard?

You should use US, US Extended, or US International PC. They should all match your keyboard.
I am puzzled that you find the US layout to be just "close". What is not correct when you use it?

Allow a different input source for each document

I just received my new MBP and am really happy about it. I'm a switcher so apologies in advance if this question is silly...
I use both Swedish and English keyboard maps. I can switch between them using a shortcut which is fine. However, in the International settings I thought "Allow a different input source for each document" would mean that the input source I use for a specific application will be used as long as the application is running and I don't change it, no matter what source I use in other applications.
For example: I have the English input source as default. Then I open text edit and change the source to Swedish and start typing. So far so good. I then change to another application...
Ok, it seemed that I might be able to answer this myself... as I test I noticed the following:
If I start typing using a source in an application THEN the source is retained. If I just switch to an application, change its source the source is NOT retained and will take the previous one.
Now this is all and well as long as the application you are using actually presents you with a text area to write in. But there are many applications where this is not the case (where you open windows to type text). A really good example is an IM client. Lets say Skype for example (yes I know.. iChat). Until I actually start a chat there is no text input window (well there is one..) which means that it will pick up whatever source was used previously. If I keep all the chat windows open thats fine but as soon as I reopen a windows I might be forced to change the source again
I hope I haven't overcomplicated my question which is simply what to expect when "Allow a different input source for each document" is used (I know it doesn't say "application" there and that might actually be a hint
Many Thanks for any comments

It's not a silly question, but I don't think there is an answer either, as it's not clear exactly what that setting is supposed to do, or if it actually does something consistently for various different kinds of apps.
If you have not already done so, check the box for "show input menu in Finder" in system prefs/international/input menu, so you can see which layout is active at the top right of the Finder.

To transfer your current hard drive I like the applications Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper. They make a bootable copy of everything on your hard drive. http://www.bombich.com/index.html or http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html
You'll need a cheap SATA external hard drive case. Put the new drive in the case then format and partition the new drive and clone your old drive to the new one. Check that it's set up right by booting up from the external drive. Then replace your old hard drive with the new one and put your old one in the external case.

'Zero-width Non-Joiner' Unicode Control Character for Xperia International Keyboard in Persian

I use Xperia International Keyboard in Persian (Farsi) on my Xperia Z3 Comapct. I really like its Gesture input for Persian. On the other hand I like Google Keyboard for Persian for its 'Zero-width Non-Joiner' Unicode Control Character key.This character is used in Persian as a non-breaking space or "نیم‌فاصله". But Google keyboard lacks gesture input for Persian. I would like it like very much If there is a ZWNJ (U+200C) key on next updates of Xperia International Keyboard for Persian. It would be perfect if it also have Arabic Decimal Separator (٫) (U+066B) and Arabic Thousand Separator (٬) (U+066C).

How do I add an input source besides English in Gnome Shell? [SOLVED]

Hello.
I'm a bit confused as to how I should add additional languages/input sources in Gnome Shell. When I ran Gnome Shell in Ubuntu, I could add additional input sources via the Region & Language section of the Gnome control panel, but in Arch I've only got English (my locale is en_US.UTF-8). I'd like to be able to switch between English & Hebrew.
Do I need to install an underlying gnome package for handling additional input sources? Or do I need to manually add a locale? The wiki seems unclear on this. Also, should I use localectl? I'm also a bit unsure there.
Thanks!

I think so.
Edit the file at /etc/locale.gen and un-comment the desired locale then run:

Firefox on OS X 10.6.8: How to have a different input source for different tabs in one window (the option "Allow a different one for each document" is on)

Currently, firefox 29 keeps one language for different tabs in one window. Different windows can have different input sources...

Thank you for your reply!
I think I've accidentally marked the problem as solved, but in fact it's not.
What is needed is that the firefox remember different input methods (languages, for instance, En or Fr) for different tabs so that when I switch between several tabs I don't need to change the layout.
Chrome remembers my language settings for each tab, so it's not always one language for all the same tabs there. I haven't found such an option in Firefox so far.
Hope it's clear enough.
Thanks in advance.

Input source (input language) changes incorrectly

Snow Leopard finally has this beautiful feature to save the input source state for every application! I've missed this very much. But... It doesn't work for me correctly.
The problem:
SnowLeo doesn't remember the input source for every application and changes randomly. Here's example: I'm opening Safari, Mail and TextEdit (all native Leo apps), writing in English in Safari + Mail and in Bulgarian in TextEdit. When switching applications the input language doesn't stay the same - after TexEdit , Safari must stay with English, but I'm writing in Bulgarian. And so on.
What I've tried:
As I said, this happens totally random, I've spent a LOT of time trying to find out some logical pattern or something, but with no luck. I tried to switch languages with mouse only, to disable the keyboard shortcut, to change the language (I've tried Canadian I think), to use different applications, to quit (almost) every process, different account an even different MacOS install on a external USB HDD!!! Funny, but on the fresh installed OS I had the same bug for 10-15 min. and then (after the same tests as before) it somehow disappeared (I think). The same was with the different account on my original HDD - the first time the problem was here, then it just wasn't here. TOTALLY unusual and with no logic at all!!!
I have some friends with Macs and everyone of us is using English and Bulgarian input layouts. And Nobody has a problem except me!
I have 15 years of computer experience (3 of them with Macs) and I'm working as a System administrator, so it's natural for me to troubleshoot all kind of problems, but after month I gave up on this!
The MacMini and the MacOS are both legal with nothing strange connected.

I use 2 keyboard layouts : canadian french for most of my applications (Pages, Microsoft Word, etc) and US English for Photoshop because most Photoshop keyboard shortcuts don't work in canadian french.
The problem is that even if I set Photoshop to US english, it reverts to Canadian French. It usually happens when I switch applications or hide Photoshop and bring it back up again. It is very annoying and the only way I found to stop this, is to turn off "Allow a different one for each document" in the Input Sources preferences pane. I thought the purpose of this option was to assign a different input source or keyboard layout to different applications.

Can't switch Input Source to built-in Mic

A few days ago I switched my Input source for a real track to "Stereo 1/2 Built-in Input" by going to System Preferences > Sound > Input and selecting Line-In because I wanted to record guitar. Now when I go back to System Preferences and select Internal Microphone, it picks up a signal in the System Prefs window, but when I open Garageband there are no options to switch the input source to the Built-In Mic again. It only lists options for Mono Built-In Input and Stereo Built-In Input. What do I do to enable recording with the built-in mic again?

Sinhala - QWERTY Input Source

I am not familiar with what's included in the Unicode standard for Sinhala. I was trying to use the "Sinhala - QWERTY" input source that comes with the latest version of OS X. However, I was not able to compose some words as they are usually written in Sinhala. For example, the name of the country, Sri Lanka, is written as :
ශ්රී ලංකා
However, I was not able to construct the first letter ශ්රී. The problem was attaching the flattened U like stroke under the main letter ශ. Is there a way to do this?

What you have reproduced is exactly what I want. It is shown correctly in the browser too. However, using the "Sinhala - QWERTY" input source, which comes natively with OS X, and typing the letter sequence SRI gives me the Sinhala characters shown below:
සරි

Different Input Sources Problem

Hi guys.
I have a very strange problem with the Input Sources.
There are English and Russian input sources installed at my MacBook Pro (Mountain Lion, 10.8.4).
I have "Allow a different input source for each document" setting enabled however it doesn't work correctly.
E.g. I have russian layout active at Skype and Adium and english layout at iTerm2. I switch from iTerm2 to Adium and when I switch back there is russian layout is active at iTerm2! **** it.
I don't know why it happens and I've already tried a lot of suggestions from the net. Nothing helps.
Kindly suggest what else I should check at my Mac.

Do you have the same problem when switching among Apple apps? All those you mention are from elsewhere and it's possible their support for this feature is imperfect.

Can't login due to input source issue

Hi!
I'm using my MBP (Yosemite) with a hungarian input source, however, my login password was in english.
Yesterday, I've changed it. Now, it contains hungarian characters.
I was able to use that password for logging in as long as the Mac just went to sleep.
This morning, however, I rebooted my MBP and now I'm unable to login.
It seems like the default input source is english, while in my profile, it is hungarian.
I've never had that problem before. And I'd really need my mac back, so that I could work.
Does anyone have any solution in mind?
Thanks,
Peter

At the login screen, you can select one of the available layouts by choosing from the flag menu in the upper right corner, or cycle through them by pressing the key combination command-space or command-option-space. See this support article.

Input Sources Crashes System Preferences

I have two issues:
1) When trying to open Input Sources through 'System Preferences >> Keyboard >> Input Sources' I get a pop-up window saying 'System Preferences quit unexpectedly'...
2) Also - and I suspect this is a related issue - my menu bar keeps constantly blinking/flickering so that I am unable to select anything, nor use Spotlight. I have a feeling that Input Sources & Keyboards are causing the Menu Bar to blink/flicker but I can't try disable them due to my first issue
This is a recent issue that started ever since I started exploring a few new apps to customise my keyboard; namely KeyRemap4Macbook and DoubleCommand. I have also been using Ukelele to create custom keyboard layouts but the issues only started after installing DoubleCommand and KeyRemap...
Any help and solutions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Zano.

Thank you for the swift response.
Update:
Not that it will affect much, but I forgot to mention that I had already uninstalled KeyRemap and DoubleCommand by the time I posted my message.
'Safebooting' didn't work (I had already tried but just tried again now).
Attempting to re-install Mavericks according to the link you gave me returned a message saying "Could not find installation information for this machine..."
I'm gonna try re-installing it using a .dmg file I was given when I had my machine repaired (it's been through a lot!).
Will update again soon.
Thanks,
Z.

Input source selector does not show when switching the input source

Hi,
I'm running OS X Mavericks on my late-2013 15" MacBook Pro with Retina Display. I set a key combinations in Keyboard section in System Preferences to "Select the previous input source" and "Select next source in Input menu".
In my previous MacBook, whenever I use the shortcut to switch my input source, there's a selector (as shown below) appear in the middle of the screen showing what input source I am selecting. Strangely, on this new MacBook, it just doesn't show it.
I thought that this is a change in Mavericks, but a few days ago, I install Mavericks on my old MacBook and the selector does appear when I am switching the input source using the shortcut. I have search throught all the setting in System Preferences, but there is no option to show or hide the Input source selector when switching the input source. Am I the only one? Am I missing something? Is there any fix?
Thanks in advance.

How do I add more channels to my input source?

I'm trying to record my son's band on a iBook in the rehearsal studio, and would like to also do this type of recording on my iMac here at home, so how do I add more channels to my input source for simultaneous multi-track recording. Right now I am only getting 2 mono and 1 stereo channels.
Ultimately I would like to add the maximum amount (probably 8 tracks), and still be able to record simultaneously with at least one guitar, one bass, one vocal mike, and the drums on one mike...
According to Hangtimes/Garage Door website, this is a possibility, but first I must create more channels.
Please help. THANKS...

My input source is a Tascam US-144 USB Interface that has 2 mic in's, and 2 line in's for guitar/bass.
I would like to separately record each input on different channels simultaneously.
You might also want to check out the M-Audio NRV10, which is a hybrid analog mixer + firewire audio interface (with I think around 10 simultaneously available separate channels), which makes it very "band friendly" for both rehearsal and recording.

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."
