The Keyboard control panel

Use the Keyboard control panel to choose which keyboard layout is the
default—the one automatically selected in your Keyboards menu—for each
script in your system.

The keyboard layouts displayed in the Keyboard control panel correspond to
the language and script currently selected in the Keyboards menu. For
example, if the U.S. keyboard is currently selected in the Keyboards menu, the
Keyboard control panel displays all the keyboard layouts available for the
Roman script.

If you want to set the default keyboard layout for an Indian language script,
choose an Indian language keyboard from the Keyboards menu. Then follow
these steps:

1

Choose Control Panels from the Apple (

K

) menu.

2

Open the Keyboard control panel.

The current default keyboard is highlighted.

3

Click to select a new default keyboard layout.

4

Click to put an X in the checkbox labeled “Use Command–Option–Space bar to rotate
through keyboard layouts.”

Select this option if you want to be able to switch keyboard layouts without
opening the Keyboards menu. (For more information on using the
“fast-switch” option, see “Choosing a Keyboard Layout” earlier in
this chapter.)

5

Close the Keyboard control panel.
