I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate (retail) under VMware Fusion on a Macbook Pro. I've created a keyboard layout for the mac using Microsoft keyboard Layout Creator MSKLC. My problem is that when I type the quote or double quote character, nothing happens. Then I press it again and get the character twice. Similar behaviour also occurs w...
I am using Windows XP pro SP3. Standard english keyboard. I live in the USA; never touched the keyboard settings. Stock install. So, when I press check the scancodes my program is returning they are as follows: A = 30 S = 31 D = 32 F = 33 G = 34 When I check the microsoft specification (page 11 of the document:: http://download.micr...
I've recently re-remapped my tilde/backtick to Escape (that's how at least I originally learned) and put the tilde/backtick in the left-Windows key (again how I originally learned). That floating Esc key way up in the NorthWest now, I've thought about mapping it a copy of F9 (for a generic SQL execution key). Is there a suggested use f...
I would like to be able to control the initial shift state of the iPhone keyboard from a Javascript prompt (updates added for web forms). It seems to mostly default to an initial capital but I feel sure I've typed into/seen prompts that are initially lower-case. I also feel sure that I've seen custom layouts used from the web. Googling ...
I'm having trouble simulating character keypresses when a non-English input keyboard language is being used in Windows. I tried calling SendInput() with KEYEVENTF_UNICODE: KEYBDINPUT ki; INPUT input; int character = 0; ki.wVk = 0; ki.wScan = character; ki.dwFlags = KEYEVENTF_UNICODE; ki.time = 0; ki.dwExtraInfo = 0; input.type = IN...
Windows uses an invalid codepage for keyboard layout in my language, I'm wonderf if there is a way to connect with Microsoft Windows Localization Center and give them the right keyboard layout to put in windows, I try this in Windows blog (by commenting) and e-mailing with some good guy that I knew but no feedback received. I'm still w...
I found this keyboard hook code, which I'm trying to slightly modify for my purposes: http://blogs.msdn.com/toub/archive/2006/05/03/589423.aspx As an overview, I want to have the user press a key, say 'E', and have the keyboard return a different character, 'Z', to whatever app is in focus. The relevant method I changed now looks like:...
I'd like to be a really annoying co-worker and write a little program that randomly changes keys on the keyboard, so maybe once an hour the vowels rearrange themselves for a minute or two. I would run the program as a service I suppose.. I know I can do this permanantly via the registry what about during windows running. Is it possibl...
I'm working on a FOSS project at http://unicode.codeplex.com. In this project we try to collect some information about standard keyboardlayouts. What we want to know is there a place or document or ... which mention what's the Standard Keyboard Layout for exact language. I mean if you are a German or American or Arab or ... , what's t...
Does anyone know of a library (preferably java) that can give me neighboring keys given a key input for US_ENGLISH standard keyboard? E.g. if I input the character 'd', I should get the following characters returned: [w,e,r,s,f,x,c,v]. Alternatively a grid manipulation api would work too (so that I can instantiate a grid with a qwerty ...
I want the user to be able to type in only numbers and spaces. I set the keyboardType textField.keyboardType = UIKeyboardTypeNumbersAndPunctuation; but if a user hits space, the keyboard layout switches to letters. So the user has to switch after each space to the number layout which I want to stop. I know I can stop entering any space...
I often hear complaints that programming languages that make heavy use of symbols for brevity, most notably C and C++ (I'm not going to touch APL), are difficult to type because they require frequent use of the shift key. A year or two ago, I got tired of it myself, downloaded Microsoft's Keyboard Layout Creator, made a few changes to my...
I program a lot and it bothers me that numbers are default, not the symbols on the front row. I would like to try the other way (And, no, I don't want to switch to Dvorak). How to configure Emacs (or whole Ubuntu) to do just that? Please note that I don't want to mess existing shortcuts I use like CTRL+1 etc. ...
I'm developing application with Qt Embedded and run it in linux framebuffer. I need a way to type non-US characters. Is it possible to change keyboard layout with Qt? I tried to run it on Qt/X11. Layout switching and input are perfectly fine there. But when I compile it with Qt/Embedded and run it in framebuffer I cannot change layout. ...
I notice that when using my touch-screen smartphone (no physical keyboard) that when an app asks for an email address to be entered in a textbox, the on screen keyboard is modified slightly to provide specialized keys that enter blocks of text, like '.com' or push some characters to the foreground key, like '@'. Is there an HTML attribu...
This question is, as indicated, for those who use Emacs. When you do, do you rebind the caps-lock key to CTRL, or do you use the "normal" ctrl key? I've recently learned some Emacs commands and was using the Visual Studio 2008 emacs commands for a while, and of course I used a caps-rebind tool, but I'm curious how many other people do...
The keyboard combination "Alt Gr + q" = @(german keyboard) is not working in eclipse but everywhere else. I'm using windows XP. It is not a language problem, I have already deinstalled the english keyboard and all other charactes work perfectly fine. It's also kind of impossible to google this, because the character is escaped by the sea...
I have a problem with the shift keys, and I would like to be able to swap the shift keys with the caps lock key. I didn't find any utility that would permit me to do that; the only solution I have is to create a kext. My question is the following: Why doesn't exist a kext to do that already? I found DoubleCommand, but between all the po...
Basically I want to write an application which would display the current language as a tray icon. Mainly I can code C++ and C#. Guess Google would help me out but I would like to ask it here first, since the community, the knowledge here is something I trust. (Never wrangled with such parts of the system so far. So that's why I would ...
I want to change keyboard layout in Linux by programming, What X11's API function does this? ...
