Last November 13 I came up with a phone keyboard layout (strategy) that can make key size bigger hence less mistyping. The typical phone keyboard looks like this: My proposed keyboard looks like this: Essentially, it's a split keyboard with the left-hand part stacked above/below the right-hand part. Key size/width/height and the vertical distance between the left-hand part and right-hand part may be adjustable to suit different phone widths and user hand sizes. You guys can show the proposed keyboard's image on your phone and fit this keyboard to your phone width so you can actually simulate typing on it to see how it feels. On my phone, the letter keys in it are a little too big for my thumbs to reach the farthest keys, but as I said, key size should be adjustable to suit different phone widths and user hand sizes.

When switching keyboards on an iPhone, an operation prompt will appear every time it switches. When this issue occurs, change the phone's system keyboard, add or delete it, and the keyboard in the app will not decrease or decrease accordingly. It seems that it has disconnected from the system keyboard. I don't know what situation may cause this problem. I request help

I've uninstalled and reinstalled VLC media player multiple times.

As the title suggests, Chinese Input Method Get Stuck on macOS 14.5 to 15 beta 3. And this issue has a reproducible path. When using the Chinese input method, if you enter "zxcvb" or "mnbvc" in sequence in any text feild, you will have problems entering any further characters, util press "esc" button or change another input method. If this problem occurs multiple times in a short period of time, the mouse click event will also be blocked for a few seconds. Hope this issue be fixed soon.

I modified an InputMethodKit example (fairly recent one from github, compiled fine and worked as expected on my machine as it was) to create a window with a WKWebView and the window doesn't load. I know that loadView is getting called, but the window never appears after calling showWindow on the window controller and there is a mysterious error in the console: bootstrap_check_in(): (os/kern) unknown error code (44c) From googling this it seems App Sandbox related, but I think I have everything set up correctly (App Sandbox on with outgoing connections allowed) Totally stumped, any help or ideas would be appreciated Here's the relevant code: View controller import Foundation import WebKit import AppKit class InputWindowViewController: NSViewController, WKUIDelegate { var webView: WKWebView! override func loadView() { NSLog("LoadView") webView = WKWebView() self.view = webView webView.uiDelegate = self webView.needsDisplay = true } override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() webView.load(URLRequest(url: URL(string:"https://www.apple.com")!)) } } Window controller import AppKit import Foundation import WebKit class InputWindowController: NSWindowController { var controller: InputWindowViewController? override init(window: NSWindow?) { controller = nil super.init(window: window) } override func loadWindow() { self.window = NSWindow(contentViewController: controller!) } required init?(coder: NSCoder) { controller = nil super.init(coder: coder) } } AppDelegate import Cocoa import InputMethodKit import WebKit // Necessary to launch this app class NSManualApplication: NSApplication { private let appDelegate = AppDelegate() override init() { super.init() self.delegate = appDelegate } required init?(coder: NSCoder) { // No need for implementation fatalError("init(coder:) has not been implemented") } } @main class AppDelegate: NSResponder, NSApplicationDelegate { var server = IMKServer() var candidates = IMKCandidates() var inputWindowController = InputWindowController() func applicationDidFinishLaunching(_ notification: Notification) { // Insert code here to initialize your application server = IMKServer(name: Bundle.main.infoDictionary?["InputMethodConnectionName"] as? String, bundleIdentifier: Bundle.main.bundleIdentifier) inputWindowController = InputWindowController() inputWindowController.controller = InputWindowViewController() inputWindowController.loadWindow() inputWindowController.showWindow(self) candidates = IMKCandidates(server: server, panelType: kIMKSingleRowSteppingCandidatePanel, styleType: kIMKMain) NSLog("tried connection") } func applicationWillTerminate(_ notification: Notification) { // Insert code here to tear down your application } } This code is probably awful in a lot of other ways I don't realize, but I wanted to get a webview window up before I put a bunch of time into this thing XCode 13.4 MacoOS 12.7.4

-1 I am trying to write a MacOS app which switch input methods by previously assigned shortcut(command+space in here). Switching input methods preoperly works so that the language icon at the status bar(top right) immediately changes as I put the shortcut. The problem I got in here is that the actual input method does not change. For example, if I run my app when the selected input method is Korean, then although the status bar is showing the selected input method is Japanese after command+space, what I can only type is Korean characters. However, after I change focus to another text app(e.g. from sublime text to xcode), only then the selected input method is reflected well. I am using MacOS Monterey 12.6 and Xcode 13.1. My project contains two source files. The code in the file AppDelegate.swift is as follows: import Cocoa @NSApplicationMain class AppDelegate: NSObject, NSApplicationDelegate { var switcher = Switcher() } And the code in the file Switcher.swift is as follows: import Cocoa import MASShortcut class Switcher{ var lang: Int = 0 var kr: TISInputSource? var jp: TISInputSource? var en: TISInputSource? init(){ let inputSourceNSArray = TISCreateInputSourceList(nil, false).takeRetainedValue() as NSArray let inputSourceList = inputSourceNSArray as! [TISInputSource] for inputSource in inputSourceList { if inputSource.id == "com.apple.inputmethod.Korean.2SetKorean" { self.kr = inputSource } if inputSource.id == "com.apple.inputmethod.Kotoeri.RomajiTyping.Japanese" { self.jp = inputSource } if inputSource.id == "com.apple.keylayout.ABC" { self.en = inputSource } } self.register() } func switchLang(){ self.lang = (self.lang + 1) % 3 switch lang { case 0: TISSelectInputSource(self.kr) case 1: TISSelectInputSource(self.jp) case 2: TISSelectInputSource(self.en) default: print("error") } } func register() { let langShortcut = MASShortcut(keyCode: kVK_Space, modifierFlags: [.command]) MASShortcutMonitor.shared()?.register(langShortcut, withAction: { self.switchLang() }) } } I wrote these codes by referring KAWA, but KAWA does not make this issue. I have analyzed all codes of KAWA several times, I couldn't find out why the same problem does not occur in KAWA. I am quite new to Swift, and I have no idea to approach. Could you help me....? Thank you.
