The German, Polish, and Swiss layouts correspond to these changes. Have you checked the remote computer's keyboard layout? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2841 > There's no real working with it. > I know about third party software like teleport, which are said to pass > keystrokes correctly, but the whole thing seems to be more a question of the > remote machine identifying the wrong keyboard. I've always had better luck with ScreenSharing sending the correct keys than I have with 3rd party VNC clients. ScreenSharing has always send the correct key that I've pressed locally, while some 3rd party clients seem to send the local layout key as the raw code leading to a character that doesn't correspond to the hardware or layout key (ie. with the Dvorak layout, pressing the physical "F" key doesn't produce a "U" as expected by the Dvorak layout, nor an "F". Sometimes in this case I'd see a "G"). > I googled for changing the default keyboard, but did not find the right > thing. Any ideas? Here's one way, is this what you're looking for? http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20060601175751872 You should be able to change the current layout, and enable a menu bar widget, from the International preference pane. -- arno s hautala /-| [email protected] pgp b2c9d448 _______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
