Pleaaaaaase hellllpppp! My keyboard layout is changing

[tolgacavdar]

I currently use a Turkish keyboard but in the Rev environment it is spontaneously being converted to a US English keyboard. I used RealBasic before and never had such a problem.

I realized that Revolution automatically added the US English to keyboard mappings of Win XP and shifts the user's keyboard to this!!! At the same time, all other applications still use Turkish keyboard but only Rev uses the US English keyboard. I deleted the US English keyboard mapping but it automatically comes back again and again.

Isn't this weird? Anybody had such an experience?

Your help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hi tolgacavdar,

Yes, this is a annoying and weird and I consider this a bug. Let's hope that it will get fixed at some point, but don't expect this to happen anytime soon. Even if RunRev is working on the problem, we don't know how it will turn out, until we can actually test it.

Meanwhile, you can try to set the textFont of individual fonts to ",Turkish". Yes, that starts with a comma and you don't need the quotes. I don't know whether this will actually work, but it does with Arabic, Russian and Bulgarian and might work for you too.

Best,

Mark

Thank God! At last someone has heard me.

Dear Mark, could you please explain this? Should I do this change from Menu -> Edit -> Preferences? I cannot find such a submenu.

tolgacavdar,

You can do this in the property inspector. Select a field, open the property inspector and go to the text formatting pane of the property inspector. Type manually ",Turkish" (without quotes, with comma) into the font field. From now on, the input method should automatically be set to Turkish whenever you start typing in the field, if this input method is available. I don't know whether this actually works for Turkish, but it does work for Russian, Bulgarian, Polish and a few other languages.

Best,

Mark
