I could find from various sources that this API belongs to Carbon
framework which has been deprecated so all its documentation has been
taken down, but this belongs to Text Input Source API which has still
not been deprecated par se. But, we could find an alternative more
publicly available Appkit framework API to do the same thing,
NSTextInputContext.selectedKeyboardInputSource
<https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appkit/nstextinputcontext/1533970-selectedkeyboardinputsource?language=objc>.
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~psadhukhan/8214578/webrev.3/
Modified webrev to use the above API and also to catch the notification
if selected text input source changes. With this, it works the same.

Hi, Prasanta.
I did not find any documentation for TISGetInputSourceProperty, does
it public API?
But I found a list of related crashes in some applications because
the TISGetInputSourceProperty may return NULL.
Can you please double check that the previous fixes which touches
these lines of code still works:
JDK-8148555, JDK-8132503, JDK-8180370
I could not find any documentation too but it seems to be the only way
to get the current keyboard layout in mac, as I could get from search.
As the fix has been tested in multiple systems, I do not see any problem.
I have added a null check to initialize keyboard layout to US if
TISGetInputSourceProperty is null, so that the default US keyboard
will work.

I have also checked the above fixes which still works.

Hi All,
Please review a fix for an issue where it is seen that Java apps
ignore system settings regarding handling yen key.
If we use mac keyboard layout to use Japanese input source and
"Change Settings -> Keyboard -> Input Sources -> Japanese -> "Â¥"
key generates -> \ (Backslash) "
and Change Input method to Romaji and press "yen" symbol in Japanese
keyboard or "option+y" key combination in US keyboard
Java app still interprets it as "yen" in JTextField
Issue seems to happen due to fact when
NSTextInputClient.insertText() method is called, even though "\"
codePoint is passed,
but insertText() has a check for codePoint is complex or not, so in
this case, it is not complex, InputMethodEvent is not generated and
no "\" is inserted in JTextField.
Proposed fix is to see if keyboard layout is Japanese (kotoeri) and
codePoint is "\" then take it as complex codepoint and generate IME,
so that whatever system setting is set for "yen" symbol, it is
correctly interpreted and inputted in CInputMethod.insertText()
method, to be seen in JTextField.
The fix has been tested in US keyboard and Japanese keyboard.
