2007/1/4, Alex Zachopoulos <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
I have a separate little X11 app to switch between the standard latin and the greek keyboards, but I was wondering if someone has a better idea as to how to do this. My current solution involves running this separate app when I start OOo, and it shows up on the screen as a flag (greek/english), but if I minimize it the icon doesn't refresh anymore in the Dock, so if I have changed keyboard language after minimizing, then the visual feedback is wrong. Not a major issue, but an annoyance nonetheless. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Dear Alex I think you don't need a seperate program to switch between keyboards under X11. As far as I can see, X11 respects the keyboard layout provided by the Mac OS. I just switch between language/keyboards with the small country flag in the top right part of the screen (next to sound level, clock, airport etc.). You may have to make the keyboard change after starting up X11/OOo, but your choice will be respected by X11 and OOo. The flag also continues to correspond to your choice. On the other hand, I found that the shortcut to switch between keyboard/languages (i.e. Apple-Space) does NOT work under OOo, probably because it is assigned to some other function. If you can't find where to change this: System preferences > Personal > Country preferences > Input menu OK? -- Guy using english OOo 2.0.4 on a iMac Intel DualCore Tiger and dutch OOo 2.1 RC 1 on a G4 PPC Powerbook Tiger -- please reply only to [email protected] -- Dodoes can't afford to have headaches
