I need to test if I'm correctly resizing some content based on the height of the system keyboard. I was under the impression that some international keyboards might be larger but I've looked at all the usual suspects (all Chinese, Korean and Japanese) and they all have exactly the same height.
Has anyone seen such keyboard?
Here are steps to produce the aforementioned candidate bar:
In Settings > General > Keyboard > Keyboards, enable Japanese Kana.
Switch back to your app and tap on a text field.
Switch to Japanese Kana and tap [ABC].
Now tap a letter key. The candidate bar should appear.

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&Ψ²color-font). I changed my default font.
i want to use arabic language in my app. i add the arabic keyboard from setting, but when keyboard appear from secure NSTextfield, keyboard does not show the language change icon on keyboard. it working fine in normal NSTextField. Thank you.
Add few keyboard types in your settings
Go to Device Setting-->General-->International-->Keyboards-->Add new Keyboards.
I have an app which has two different languages (English-German). You can switch within the app between the languages. My question now is, how to switch the keyboard as well? Not just the language but the keyboard layout. Both keyboard language layouts already available within the system, I just don't know how to switch between them.

Setting the iPhone keyboard language
i want to use Scandinavian letters (such as Γ, Γ and Γ
) 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.
