I'm trying to input japanese with the Ubuntu Japanese Keyboard (Mozc) into VSCode, however only the occidental letters appear and the dictionnary popup letting me choose which kanji to use for the hiragana inputed doesn't appear. VSCode is up to date, and I can easily input japanese characters with any other software.
Any idea how to fix that ?
Thanks

I have a JSON file that I'm copying Arabic Language strings into. These have been translated, and I do not speak Arabic.
The Right-To-Left language support is driving me insane. I want to just use my right and left arrow keys to edit these strings and highlight, but the mixed language in the CSS file causes the cursor to jump and act unpredictably when trying to edit the arabic string.
Please tell me there is a setting I can disable right-to-left language support and exclusively use left-to-right cursor movement, even when VS code detects an arabic string.
Searching the settings / Searching online everywhere
Press the right arrow key to move the cursor to the right within an arabic string instead of insanely moving it to the left, and then when you read the quote, going back to right, so that it is impossible to use or edit these strings.
I want a trilingual English-French-German keyboard with the Dvorak layout on Windows 7. I made it myself with the Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator v. 1.4. For some letters I have to assign five variants (e, é, è, ê, ë plus the capital versions). Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator only allows Ctrl-[key] and Alt-Ctrl-[key] to make alternate characters (not Alt-[key], unfortunately). I had no choice but to use the Ctrl-[key] sequence to produce a lot of keys.
In almost every program (e.g. Firefox) the keyboard has priority over program-defined shortcuts, so that if Ctrl-u is a defined key on my keyboard, the Firefox shortcut with Ctrl-u is frozen. This is what I want in Microsoft Word 2010. But even if I delete the Word 2010 shortcuts in File > Options > Customize Ribbon > Keyboard Shortcuts Customize, Word still has control over the Ctrl-[key] sequence. That is, if I kill the Ctrl-f (find) shortcut in Word, and then press Ctrl-f, nothing will happen: find will not open and my Keyboard assigned Ctrl-f character is not printed.
How can I give priority to my custom-defined characters over Word's Ctrl shortcuts?
Your best bet is probably going to be using AutoHotKey to do your layout mappings. AHK basically monitors the keyboard buffer at the OS level, so it is able to intercept and correct keystrokes before the other programs can react to them. I can confirm that Ctrl+F in AHK does overwrite the keyboard shortcuts in Word 2010.
Some sample AHK code:
^f::Send {U+00C6} ;Ctrl+F sends Æ
!f::Send {U+00C7} ;Alt+F sends Ç
!^f::Send {U+00E8} ;Ctrl+Alt+F sends è
!^+f::Send {U+00C8} ;Ctrl+Alt+Shift+F sends È
^ intercepts a Ctrl keystroke, ! intercepts Alt, and + intercepts Shift, and they can be combined. The {U+xxxx} corresponds to the Unicode number for the given character.
Using this method allows you to keep your keyboard mapping in a simple txt file (easy to backup or transfer to another computer). It also overrides shortcuts in all programs, so you won't have to re-adjust the shortcuts for each new program you use.
take for example the Iminent google chrome plugin, it let's you add smilies to youtube comments, facebook chat, gmail etc...
I just don't undertands how, didn't just who ever made the software can do this type of thing?
Unicode has had "smileys" (a.k.a. emoji) for a while, and web applications that support Unicode (sometimes referred to as UTF-8) can accept them (and international characters) in places like text input boxes. So the programs in question treat these like any other character.
I'm not sure what Windows' equivalent is, but on the Mac, there's a "Show Character Viewer" item in the keyboard menu which lets you search for and insert these characters. To enable it, go to the Keyboard panel in System Preferences. In the Keyboard tab, there's a checkbox for Show Input & Character Viewers in menu bar near the bottom. Check it and you get a small country flag icon in the menu bar, which is the keyboard menu.

I believe this problem has been present for a few years in Netbeans, in different non-English keyboard layouts (see for example Shortcuts in NetBeans don't work).
Premises:
I am using Netbeans 7.3.1, and coding in Java
I use a non-US keyboard layout (Swedish), and Netbeans picks up all the Swedish keys correctly when typing them in the code window.
The problem:
The keyboard shortcuts that use keys that are mapped the same in Swedish and English layout (normal letters for example) work fine, but the keyboard shortcuts that use keys that are mapped differently behave inconsistently.
Example:
Toggle comment (Ctrl+Slash). Slash is Shift+7 in Swedish layout, Ctrl+Shift+7 brings up project properties. Slash in US layout is the key left of right shift, labeled - in Swedish layout. If I press that, Netbeans recognizes this as - and performs the standard behavior for Ctrl+- (a code fold).
Complete line (Ctrl+Shift+;). The key labeled ; in Swedish layout has < in US. This combo brings upp the bookmarks tab. The key labeled ; in US layout has a Swedish letter, this combo does nothing.
I have seen questions by people in different languages asking about one specific shortcut or another not working, and the answer is usually to edit the Netbeans keymap, I wanted to connect a few more dots. Does anybody have further experience or suggestions?
Another shortcut appearing on the keyboard shortcuts card for for 7.3.1 that this affects is Move caret to matching brace (Ctrl+[).
These issues have been around since at least 2008: https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=155117. As of last year, the developers seem undecided if it is worthwhile to fix: https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=227247
However -
Toggle comment has an alternative shortcut - Ctrl+Shift+C - originally aimed at German keyboards, but which should work for all remotely mainstream layouts since it uses no special key.
Move caret to matching brace apparently has the alternative Ctrl+^ aimed at French layout, but does not work in Swedish for example.
Complete line has no alternative I could find.
Conclusion
Personally I will be using Ctrl+Shift+C for comments, and entering my own alternative for Complete line in Options > Keymap. Move caret to matching brace / bracket, though named on the shortcuts card, does not show up as a reassignable here as far as I can see.
I had this problem too and it had a simple solution and the solution was the font change.
In Netbeans (tool-option-font&زcolor-font). I changed my default font.
i want to use Scandinavian letters (such as Ä, Ö and Å) keyboard in my application. Do you guys any idea about it. Thanks
I think this is based on the users own language settings at the phone level.
Check this out
This is a user specific setting. If the user has set their iPhone's keyboard to a Scandinavian keyboard, then that is what will be displayed in your app.
Also, if you press and hold any letter in the normal iPhone keyboard, after a couple seconds, it will pop-up all "special" forms of the given character, including umlauts and the like.
I do not believe their is a specific keyboard for Scandinavian letters but the standard keyboard allows for these special characters by holding the key down for a couple seconds.
