Multiple different languages in use on different fields of one card? Yow! That's... unusual. And automatically swapping to a different keyboard map at arbitrary times, well, that's even more so! Hmmm...
My first thought: Don't bother with the OS keyboard maps -- especially if this project of yours is to be installed on machines that you don't *know* which keyboard maps are available. Instead, build your own maps, associating each rawKeyDown value with a particular character, and use the maps you created. Put all your keyboard maps into custom properties of the stack; give each relevant field a custom property that defines which keyboard map to use. Also give each relevant field this script: local MyKeyboard on focusIn GetLanguage end focusIn on openField GetLanguage end openField on GetLanguage put the PreferredLanguage of me into MyLang -- "me" is the field, right? put the KeyboardMap[MyLang] of this stack into MyKeyboard end GetLanguage on rawKeyDown ThisKey put character (ThisKey) of MyKeyboard into (the selectedChunk) -- assumes that a keyboard map is a string of characters, with -- the character for "rawKeyDown N" being the Nth character in the string end rawKeyDown This script is completely untested, but hopefully it will at least serve as a starting point to help you get where you want to go... -- ANTHRO -- http://anthrozine.com "It's furry.
