My keyboard layout settings apply to the whole desktop. There is a setting where a new layout applies per window, but I never use that. I can also switch layouts while having programs open, and without having to restart those programs. For GTK2, KDE and fpGUI apps I can happily switch between Qwerty, Dvorak, Colemak, and the keyboard shortcuts are still interpreted correctly. I tested this on two different PC's too (though both were Ubuntu 10.04 systems). It's seems it is just MSEide that doesn't understand the Colemak keys for some odd reason. Restarting MSEide doesn't make a difference either. > might be able to reveal the cause.

Programmer Dvorak remaps even more. Colmak only remaps 13 keys, I think, compared to Qwerty. I'm trying to switch to Colemak - it's very tough coming from Dvorak, and considering I have used Dvorak for many many years. My poor fingers have no clue what hit them! :-) -- Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://fpgui.sourceforge.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service. http://www.accelacomm.com/jaw/sfnl/114/51521223/ _______________________________________________ mseide-msegui-talk mailing list mseide-msegui-talk@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mseide-msegui-talk
