Xfce issue with the keyboard layout

Hello all
I'm trying to configure my keyboard for another layout, but i just can't seem to do it, i've searched the xfce wiki and all
The thing is, i'm doing these changes on the evdev file because i have no xorg-conf file, it's a directory not a file, and in the wiki they say this:
Add the XkbLayout Option to your xorg.conf-file. Here is an example if you want to use german and russian keyboard-settings:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "de,ru"
EndSection
While my edev file usually looks like this
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "evdev keyboard catchall"
MatchIsKeyboard "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "evdev"
EndSection
And i changed it to:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
MatchIsPointer "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "evdev"
Option "XkbLayout" "pt"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
EndSection
Really need a little hand here, thanks in advance

Xorg 1.5.3 - Still some issues with the keyboard layout

well i read a lot of threads and i solved almost everything, but my keyboard layout is still a little strange, for example, before the "backslash" key (the one above the TAB key) doesn't work anymore, that really bothers me because i really use the midnight commander "hotdir" feature
my config files:

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.

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.

Hi Chanh
I have not come upto the level of testing the file generated with IRS. Will keep you posted what happens there.
Shannon,
Apparently the new version of 1546868 fixes the issue for box number 7. But if the amounts are huge in box numbers 1 or 3 or 15a (they use these in my client) then the amount overflows to the nearby box. So we have again opened an issue again with SAP & will keep you posted withwhat SAP comes up with.
Thanks

Z68A-G43(g3) issues with the Microsoft Wireless Keyboard 6000

Hello,
we've buils a new PC with the MSI Mainboard Z68A-G43(G3) and the PC hangs on the start with the code 92. We noticed that the issue is caused by some USB device. After many tests we found out that when the MicroSoft Wireless Keyboard 6000 v2 is connected to the computer, it stops to start.
The keyboard is connected through the Microsoft Wireless Desktop Receiver 3.1 to the USB, which is used to connect the mouse as well.
I'd like to use the kb + mouse set, how can I fix the issue.
Also, I tried to update BIOS via the Live Update, and it's not working, the BIOS download fails.
Any help is welcome.
Regards,
Michal

The BIOS is 4.10.
Also I forgot one note, the KB is working, but only when it's connected alone. When we connect to USB port another device (Flash Drive, USB Wireless, ...) the PC won't start. When the KB is removed, the PC starts without any problem.
Also another note, when the KB was connected and the Zyxel Wireless PCI adapter was connected, PC doesn't start, when KB is disconnected, PC starts.
So there seems to be some issue with the MS device.
Regards,
Michal

[Solved] Can't login with current keyboard layout and `@` in password

Hi, I'm a new arch user. I followed archwiki to install Enlightenment17. All went fine but I have a problem to login since during setup I inserted '@' in root/regular user passwords. During setup I selected the Italian layout and all seems ok, except grafical login through entrance (from aur, but I tested also kdm, with same results): password not recognized. Before asking, is not a CAPS/NUMLOCK issue since the password works using it in console login. I discovered that I can type '@' with the following combination: SHIFT+2; in an italian keybord this should print a double quote (") but in entrance (and kdm) it correponds to '@'. After login this way, the keyboard works normally (for instance using 'su'). So the problem is limited to graphical login (entrance and kdm) during which a different keyboard layout is used.
Did I miss some config file?
For the sake of clarity:
1) /etc/locale.gen has "it_IT.UTF-8 UTF-8" uncommented
2) /etc/locale.conf contains "LANG=it_IT.UTF-8"
3) /etc/vconsole.conf contains "KEYMAP=it"
4)
$ locale
LANG=it_IT.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=
Thanks for any help.

I exclude a variant problem considering that in any other condition the keyboard layout is right. The system is configured for an it KEYMAP but it is obvious that in entrance/kdm is used an 'us' map. Is this hardcoded somewhere? I also tryed to comment out any entry in /etc/locale.gen except 'it_IT.UTF-8 UTF-8': still 'us' keymap in graphical login screen.
Probably a kind user with a non-us keyborad layout could create a dummy user with password containing '@' or '#' or any other special symbol to verify that this condition is reproducible, a first step for a bug report.

Dreamweaver CC crashes when moving a DIV field with the keyboard arrows.

I'm really fond of the new Dreamweaver CC, but on some occasions, it crashes when moving a DIV field with the keyboard arrows, for example, to move it two or three pixels.
This is happening on a recent pc (i5 / 16Gb ram / Intel SSD / Bootcamped Windows 8 x64)
F12 is also really slow when publishing via Chrome. Firefox or Internet Explorer is faster.
Is there a fix for these issues?
Thanks,

Apart from the FluidGrid Layouts feature, DW is not a click and drag app like Photoshop or Muse. You should be using the CSS panels to align elements with floats, margins and padding.
Keep Chrome open and refresh browser (F5).

Exchange a brand new computer because of the keyboard layout ?

Hi !
I'm currently in Finland for work, and I bought a Macbook Air, it's brand new so.
But I didn't thought of the keyboard layout, which is of course Finnish;
Do you think I can exchange this MBA with a one with the correct layout back in my country;
Or is it better to return this MBA here, and buy a new one once I'm home ?
I'd like to be able to return or exchange the MBA in my country, is the refund/exchange policy international ?
Thanks

The European law state you have anyway a 7 day open box return policy for this kind of product, I think I'll go to the store and ask if they can exchange it for one with international/US keyboard or give me a refund if they havn't got one.
I got a callback appointement with Apple Support France tomorrow (my country) to ask them if it's possible to use the warranty to exchange layout. But as you said, I don't think it's possible since the keyboard is working perfectly fine..

Issues with the Surface Pro 3's pen in Photoshop CS6

I used photoshop CS6 with no problems on my old computer that was connected to a graphics tablet.
However, I recently bought a new windows computer called the Surface Pro 3. Everything works perfectly with the trackpad and touch, but I've had some issues with the Surface pen.
The pen can draw on the canvas, but whenever I click something on any of the windows with the pen, the entire application freezes and I would have to click the computer's taskbar at the bottom to unfreeze the application.
It's impossible to work like this. Is there any solution to fix this problem? It says that the version of photoshop I have is Adobe Photoshop Version: 13.1.2

If you have Photoshop CS6 version 13.1.2 which is the Subscription version of Photoshop, You shoule Isstall Photoshop CC 2014 on your surface Pro 3. It will work without problems on the surface Pro 3 and you will also have the option have the option to use Photoshop CC 2014 preference 2x UI to scale Photoshop's UI up in size on your Surface Pro 3.
If you do not have a subscription the Perpetual version of windows CS6 should be version 13.0.1.3. In that case the only way to scale Photoshop UI is to have windows do it. You would need to to update your windows 8.1 registry and add an external Photoshop manifest file in your Photoshop CS6 folder. To get the Surface Pro 3 pen to work with Photoshop you would need to install NTig pen device drivers the support the wintab APIs.
You will not be able to use Photoshop without a keyboard popping up the windows onscreen keyboard is too cumbersome. You can use a utility like Touchkey to create Overlay touch keys on Photoshop and use Photoshop without a keyboard.
The differece betweek Adobe 2XUI scaling an windows scaling ise windows scaling scalet the image areas as well as the Photoshops UI
A couple of touchkey overlat keyboards could look something like this

How can I type "š" with english keyboard layout?

I was wondering if somewho can tell me, how I can type "š" with englis keyboard layout, because when I have restart iMac, layout was changed back to english (from Slovak) and now I cant start Mac OS X, cause in my login is "š"

Start with the Apple menu in the upper left of the Menu Bar and select System Preferences. On the System Preferences pane on the top row is the UN flag icon. For Tiger (OS-X 10.4) it was called "International". Click to take you to the Language Options:
The sub-menu called "Input Sources" (as you can see from the above screen shot) will take you to the panel that I referred to in the previous response. If you don't find your language listed then click on the "Edit List at the bottom left of the "Language" sub-menu. Once you make a change in either one of these places you will be given a notice to tell you that the change will be reflected the next time you restart your Mac or the next time that you log in to your account. If you are the only user and do not have another account on your Mac then the restart option will be your method. There is no need to do this procedure from the install DVD.

Issue with Adobe Form Layout

Hi,
I have an issue with the Adobe Form Layout.Although I have added a field in the Context Menu of the Form Builder but the context has not been added to the Data View.
Could you please help me to understand how to include the parameters and structures that we define in the context and add them to the Data View in layout?As far as I know, it is done automatically.But in this case I don't understand what the problem is.
Please help me.
Thanks,
Sandeep.
<MOVED BY MODERATOR TO THE CORRECT FORUM>
Edited by: Alvaro Tejada Galindo on Jul 14, 2009 4:10 PM

it is normally done automatically. Do ANY of your fields show in your DATA VIEW? Or, are you just missing the new one?
If you're only missing the new one, make sure your Context has the field defined correctly and generated.. Then make sure you have updated the mapping in your View Context and generated that.
After those 2 things, your field should now show.
You cannot, as far as I know, define an attribute as any sort of TABLE - we have a common structure that has several Table Types in it. When we import that structure, we have to delete those attributes and create Nodes to mimick those tables.
If you've accidentally included a Table type as an attribute, you won't see any fields in your Data View.
EDIT: by the way, there's an Adobe Interactive Forms Forum where you should ask these kinds of questions.

Is there a way to change the keyboard layout on locked screen iOS7?

I updated my ipad from ios6 to ios7. I noticed a really ridiculous thing after i updated my IPAD. The thing is after starting my device with ios7, i tried to enter my pass on the lock screen, but no way.
My old password consisted characters such as ¥ $# etc ... the keyboard layout is changed in ios7 and I couldn't see the "¥" sign anymore. I tried to restore it but I do need the lock pass.
Any ideas?

Hi. I guess there will always be differences in text handling between apps like InDesign and Illustrator, which are fundermentally layout apps, and Photoshop that isn't. But I'd like to be clear about how you Photoshop set up? For instance, I prefer to set type size to mm in Photoshop and InDesign so I can better predict text sizing in a given document. For fine adjustment I do it by eye, so don't really care about what the units are.
If I have missunderstood your point (sorry about the non intended pun) please explain some more.
Incidentally, Nigel French has an excellent title on Lynda.com called 'Photoshop for Designers - Type Essentials'. It's probably the best source I know of for handling type in Photoshop.

Has anyone had issues with the accelerometer in the iPhone 6 plus?

II've had issues with the accelerometer in the iPhone 6 plus. I went from landscape mode and then went into podcast app. I went to the search tab and this is the keyboard that came up:
This isn't the only issue with the accelerometer though. I've also come out of clash of clans which is a landscape only mode game. I go to my home screen and my wallpaper is in landscape still but my apps are in portrait? The seems to be some RAM issues with the iPhone 6 plus but I'm not sure if that has any issue with the transition from landscape to portrait.

Belynda227,
That's definitely odd, we certainly need to get to the bottom of this so you can use it safely while driving. Have you been able to use it in the past without completing the factory reset? The factory reset deleted everything from your phone, is that the type of reset you're doing? If so, you need to pair your phone every time, which explains the problem. Is your car compatible with the phone? Some cars are not compatible, in this case some features work but not all. Use http://vz.to/11fpca7 to review compatibility.

Hey skyshade13,
Thanks for the question. The following article outlines how to restore a previous iTunes library should there be no content after updating. While the article does not speak specifically to your symptoms, attempting the steps by utilizing the "Previous iTunes Libraries" folder may resolve your issue.
