After using the wireless keyboard that comes with the iMac, I have switched to a MS Ergo Natural 4000 one. Surprisingly I had to install extra software as OS X could not work out which keyboard I had.
After which I went into sys prefs and set the main input method to be "British - Microsoft" first and "Swiss German" second (what the wireless keyboard is), on the "input sources" tab:
However... OS X keeps resetting my input method back to Swiss German which is driving me bananas.
I have the flag thingy top right so I can see when this changes.
N.B. I have "input source options" set to "use the same one in all documents" which I am assuming means keep the language the same for anything running.
It also flips back on the login page.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Have also just noticed that for some applications, it is not even possible to select "British - Microsoft" e.g. Preview, QuickTimeplayer. Other applications like firefox and itunes work fine (although they do still keep switching back to swiss german) – adolf garlic – 2010-01-22T09:31:22.257
