Windows 7, can't change default keyboard layout.

Hi!
It's not the first windows I install but its the first time I can't change the default keyboard layout. As usual I go in control pannel,region & language, (tab)keybard and languages, I press on change keyboard, Added the one I want ( Canadian french keyboard ) Put it on top of the list, tryed to delete the azerty keyboard I mistakly selected during the install and the option remove is greyed out. I tryed rebooting still the same issue. I also tryed to set it as default in the administrative tabs still no result.. Is there a regkey I can modify or something?
thanks!

G
o to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Keyboard Layout\Preload\1
Change the data in 1 to be 00001009
this should change your layout to the Canadian French one
The best way to do it!
Thank's!!

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.
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "system-keyboard"
MatchIsKeyboard "on"
Option "XkbLayout" "de,ru"
Option "XkbModel" "pc104"
Option "XkbVariant" ","
Option "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle"
EndSection
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-keyboard.conf (manually created)
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "system-keyboard"
MatchIsKeyboard "on"
Option "XkbLayout" "de,ru"
Option "XkbModel" "pc104"
Option "XkbVariant" ","
Option "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle"
EndSection
But the output of "setxkbmap -print -verbose 10" shows german and us-english layout:
Setting verbose level to 10
locale is C
Trying to load rules file ./rules/evdev...
Trying to load rules file /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev...
Success.
Applied rules from evdev:
rules: evdev
model: pc104
layout: de,us
variant: ,
options: grp:alt_shift_toggle
Trying to build keymap using the following components:
keycodes: evdev+aliases(qwertz)
types: complete
compat: complete
symbols: pc+de+us:2+inet(evdev)+group(alt_shift_toggle)
geometry: pc(pc104)
xkb_keymap {
xkb_keycodes { include "evdev+aliases(qwertz)" };
xkb_types { include "complete" };
xkb_compat { include "complete" };
xkb_symbols { include "pc+de+us:2+inet(evdev)+group(alt_shift_toggle)"};
xkb_geometry { include "pc(pc104)" };
Does anybody know what I am doing wrong? I would appreciate any help.

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

Hi
Looks like you use a wrong keyboard layout. I thin the language settings are wrong!!!
Maybe you have an US keyboard layout and the settings are set to UK?
Please check this in the control panel -> regional and language options -> languages -> details.
There you can add a second language or you can change the first one to another keyboard layout.

Yosemite changes my keyboard layout without reason (randomly)

Hi folks. I have a macbook pro with retina display (Late-2013) and spanish keyboard. As a matter of fact I have a Spanish-ISO keyboard layout selected by default.
The problem is that I've recently noticed that Yosemite changes my keyboard layout to United States. When I go to input devices (in preferences) I find that a US keyboard has been added! Now I have Spanish-ISO and US as input device, but the US one is being used. So I remove the US keyboard, leaving just the Spanish one, and everything seems to work correctly again.
The problem is that this event repeats randomly! I notice that this is happening when I need to login my session. But not everytime!
I don't know what could be the problem!
Any idea?

Another way.
Thinking that LXDE is using Openbox.
You can use ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml
http://openbox.org/wiki/Help:Bindings#Key_bindings
example: using the Windows key
<keybind key="W-u">
<action name="Execute">
<command>setxkbmap us<command>
</action>
</keybind>
<keybind key="W-b">
<action name="Execute">
<command>setxkbmap bg<command>
</action>
</keybind>

[solved] Gnome default keyboard layout

Hi guys,
Can anybody please explain me why the following command works but the corresponding .conf entry does not?
setxkbmap -layout "us,pl,de" -option "grp:alt_shift_toggle"
[orschiro@thinkpad ~]$ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/01-keyboard-layout.conf
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "keyboard"
MatchIsKeyboard "yes"
Option "XKBMODEL" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "us,pl"
Option "XkbVariant" "altgr-intl,"
Option "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle"
EndSection
When using the .conf entry simply nothing happens.
Regards
EDIT
I was able to identify my problem. See the following:
The above .conf does not work since Gnome seems to fetch a default US keyboard layout from somewhere which I cannot figure out where it is. Without any invocation from my side Gnome assumes this US keyboard. However, I do not want to us the default US keyboard layout but the altgr-intl option.
Screenshot
So as a workaround I have to run setxkbmap -layout us -variant altgr-intl after Gnome had started. But I would like to understand how Gnome assigns the default keyboard layouts.

I still do not understand where the default keyboard layout is taken from. However, I use a workaround and created a file .keyboard in my home directory which is launched after startup of Gnome and changes the layouts according to my setkxbmap settings.
More information.

Default keyboard layout

Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me.
I need to set the default keyboard to irish for user accounts. I can't seem to do it! when a user logs in they default to british. once logged in they can change it forevermore, but only on that machine. if they go to another one it defaults back to british.
HELP!

Similar problem here. After migrating from xserve 10.4.10 to an xserve 10.5.4 the default keyboard layout is U.S. instead of what the users had before (mostly german-swiss).
It would be very nice, if someone could give a hint of how to manipulate com.apple.systempreferences.plist to set a default keyboard layout.
Thanks in advance.

By clicking add-ons in my tool bar it starts on the existing opened window how can i change it on new window

By clicking an add-on in tool bar it can't open in new window rather than it occupies the existing window how can I change this.

JavaScript links that specify a window size open by default in a new window and not in a new tab.

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.

Changing my keyboard layout

Hello,
I am proficient in typing in the Dvorak keyboard layout.
It took me a while to find but in OS 10.4> System Preferences> International it is there as a selectable option. Once selected I can switch back and forth from the top bar in the finder.
However... way back when I first learned Dvorak I swapped the positions of "i" and "u" (Why would I do such a stupid thing?) I did this because it made Dvorak (as great as it is) into an even more efficient layout.
In OS 8- OS 9 I simple went to the system file, duplicated the Dvoark keyboard layout, Renamed the duplicate "Dvorak IU" and then proceeded to swap "i" and "u" with ResEdit 2.1.3.
But now in OS 10 I am befuddled.
How to I create or add or edit to enable Dvorak IU
in the international pane of the system preferences?
Please Help, O Master

Hi,
and welcome to the discussions.
The default keyboard layouts reside in /System/Library/Keyboard Layouts. Each layout is packaged inside a bundle, you may view the contents by ctrl-clicking (right click) one and using Show package contents command. I would not recommend editing default ones.
Because OS X is a multiuser OS each user has own Library. You could create your own layout and save it inside your own library. Path is yourshortname/Library/Keyboard Layouts. That would leave the system intact in case something goes wrong.

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

Empty the Safari cache more often.
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.

Now click Develop from the menu bar. From the drop down menu click Empty Caches.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

Flash MX: default keyboard layout

My apologies if this topic had a better place to be posted.
I'm using Flash MX 2004 7.2. I use both English and Japanese keyboard layouts in my OS.
Every time I open Flash MX 2004, the default keyboard layout turns to Japanese. This only happens in Flash MX - in Dreamweaver MX and Fireworks MX, the keyboard layout defaults to English no problem.
Has anyone encountered this issue before?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
TIA

It sounds like it could be a Flash problem. You might want to also ask your question in the support forums run by the maker of the program:
http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/index.cfm?forumid=15
You also might want to ask your question in a more appropriate Apple forum, like "Using Mac OS X Tiger." This one is for "Universal Access" questions.

try tapping holding on the key that would be most similar to the letter you want to enter, that will bring up a menu of other characters similar to that character and maybe the greek letter will be included in that menu
