The fixed version is now available in Keyman 12.0.7 beta, downloadable from https://keyman.com/beta/
Hi Marc,
Thank you so much for releasing the beta version. I have downloaded and checked it on Microsoft and Adobe products. The keyboard works properly only on Microsoft Powerpoint. It still doesnβt work on the other programs, including Microsoft Word.
At this time, the issue is the same across all programs:- Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, After Effects, and Microsoft Word.
Pressing βlaβ emits βαβ instead of βαβ
More example => typing βle lu li la lie l loβ emits βα α α α α α αβ instead of βα α α α α α αβ.
Thank you for working on it. I greatly appreciate it.
Hi again Anbassa,
Sorry that didnβt work straight off for you. I am checking again now that the new version published on the servers does work properly for me. Can you also do the following, after installing the 12.0.7 beta version:
-
Run the following command in Terminal:
sudo tccutil reset PostEvent
-
Restart your Mac
Hi Marc,
First of all I would like to thank you and all the team members for doing your very best to help us benefit from using these latest technologies. My sincere appreciation goes to you all. As you suggested, I ran the command, and, it fixed everything except Adobe Illustrator.
When typing βmβ emits βαβ (this is correct). But when typing βmaβ nothing appears on the screen, the corresponding character should look βαβ. The issue happens only when typing consonants and vowels that use a combination of two characters.
More example: typing βme mu mi ma mie m moβ emits " _ _ _ _ _ α _" instead of βα α α α α α αβ (*I use underscore here as a place holder for each character. Nothing appears when typing the letters).
I am very sorry for bothering you guys a lot.
Thank you,
Thatβs great news for all the apps except Illustrator!
Weβll have to look at what is happening with Illustrator and see if we can resolve that; I suspect it may be due to timing of how the letters are replaced. It might be a little while before I can tackle the Illustrator compatibility, as I have a number of other things I also need to be working on. Thank you for you patience; please bear with me!
FWIW, Iβm on Mohave 10.14.6 and Keyman 11.0.220 . Iβve noticed keyman has always been hit-and-miss with applications on OSX, and more reliable with native apps from Apple.
With MS Office (v16.16.13) Iβm not experiencing issues with typing, unless I type too fast, then the βbuβ, for example, might become the two letters βα₯uβ instead of a single βα‘β. So my solution is simply to type slower.
Keyman 11.0.220 was built with an earlier version of XCode, so it continued to work. When we built the newer release, that triggered the issue that weβve described (and since resolved).
And yes, the issues with order of events when typing too fast is something that I am aware of and would like to tackle. There will probably be a design process similar to what we went through for Windows, so itβs not a small challenge!
Thank you so much, Marc. I greatly appreciate the time and effort you and the team members put into solving this issue. The fix for Illustrator can wait until you get time to work on it. I am very happy that the keyboard works for almost all adobe programs. This is just wonderful.
Thanks,
Thanks for your patience @anbassa Iβve logged the Illustrator compatibility problem at https://github.com/keymanapp/keyman/issues/2015 and as soon as I get some time Iβll check it out again.
I am no longer able to reproduce this issue with Adobe Illustrator β Keyman appears to be working correctly.
I think we need more information than a tweet β can they write to the forum for assistance with some additional detail on what is happening? Have they tried the steps at https://help.keyman.com/knowledge-base/104 and if applicable, https://help.keyman.com/knowledge-base/108?
