keyboard_layout_name with composed name

[Benoit Benedetti]

Hi,

In the localize section of my plist, i have the following definition for the keyboard:

            <key>keyboard_layout_name</key>

            <string>French - PC</string>

But the keyboard layout being installed is 'French'. How to you configure such a layout name with Imagr?

Thank you

[Graham Gilbert]

It’s trial and error I’m afraid. They need to be the name that the OS expects in its plist (im mobile right now so I can’t be more exact - Ben Toms wrote most of the script included in Imagr, so maybe he can shed more light)

I'm having the same issue...  Whatever I put in I get the AZERTY FR keyboard.  Here's my latest iteration:

                     <dict>
                          <key>type</key>
                          <string>localize</string>
                          <key>keyboard_layout_name</key>
                          <string>Canadian - CSA</string>
                          <key>keyboard_layout_id</key>
                          <integer>80</integer>
                          <key>language</key>
                          <string>fr_CA</string>
                          <key>locale</key>
                          <string>fr_CA</string>
                          <key>timezone</key>
                          <string>America/Montreal</string>
                      </dict>

I want the French Canadian keyboard.   I can't seem to get this one right!

Here's another clue of what I want:

defaults read /Users/wadmin/Library/Preferences/com.apple.HIToolbox

{
    AppleCurrentKeyboardLayoutInputSourceID = "com.apple.keylayout.Canadian-CSA";
    AppleEnabledInputSources =     (
                {
            InputSourceKind = "Keyboard Layout";
            "KeyboardLayout ID" = 80;
            "KeyboardLayout Name" = "Canadian - CSA";
        }
    );

Ok, so I figured it out...

The localize.sh function does not deal well with spaces because the call to change the keyboard layout is inside a shell script.

You need to escape the spaces or special characters for it to work.

So in this case, here's what I had to put:

                     <dict>
                          <key>type</key>
                          <string>localize</string>
                          <key>keyboard_layout_name</key>

                          <string>Canadian\ -\ CSA</string>
                          <key>keyboard_layout_id</key>
                          <integer>80</integer>
                          <key>language</key>
                          <string>fr_CA</string>
                          <key>locale</key>
                          <string>fr_CA</string>
                          <key>timezone</key>
                          <string>America/Montreal</string>
                      </dict>

Hope this helps anyone who has the same problem...

You could also update the wiki with this info so it’s there for others...
