10.6: Keyboard shortcut for switching between input sources
The command-spacebar input toggling and command-option-spacebar input cycling key combinations were in use in Apple language kits since at least the early nineties and having them hijacked by Spotlight was a source of irritation for many multilingual Mac users. But as this hint points out, at least it is possible to reconfigure to get it back (and yes, it has been possible prior to 10.6).
10.6: Keyboard shortcut for switching between input sources
I still rarely use the Spotlight menu because of the obnoxious behavior of how Spotlight menu queries overwrite the separate "Find" query fields in other open apps.Could you elaborate on that? I have no idea what you mean.
10.6: Keyboard shortcut for switching between input sources
Sure. This is on 10.5.8. Imagine this scenario.
10.6: Keyboard shortcut for switching between input sources
What?? That's crazy! If it was happening in 10.5.8, I'd be really surprised if it's not fixed by now, but I'm going to try this as soon as I get home. I'll try to remember to post my results.
10.6: Keyboard shortcut for switching between input sources
Ok, now I get it.
10.6: Keyboard shortcut for switching between input sources
Yes, this is actually considered a feature. There is a special "find" clipboard that gets overridden by different find mechanisms. See the man page of
pbpaste. There's probably a hidden preference to remove it.
10.6: Keyboard shortcut for switching between input sources
If it was a 'feature' then why did they remove it in SL? (And no, I wouldn't want this 'feature'...) But I agree that there must be some way to remove this behavior by using the 'defaults' command (or manually editing plist files.) I'd try to find it, but I don't have a Leopard machine to reproduce the issue on.
10.6: Keyboard shortcut for switching between input sources
It hasn't been removed from Snow Leopard. Maybe Spotlight doesn't participate in it anymore, but for normal find dialogs, the feature is definitely still there. And I do agree with you btw that it is annoying and very rarely useful. |
