Sometimes, this language selection thingie appears on (even during games of StarCraft II) and I can't reliably get rid of it with keyboard shortcuts. Escape, backspace, it doesn't always help.

It now appeared while I was away from my desk for 5min but the text field was selected.

@ctietze Happens to me all the time, too! 🙄

@ctietze looks like there's at least a way to completely disable this inline input source switcher: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-250007827

@ctietze I have this too, it‘s triggered by fn button and also by CTRL+Space

@hannesoid I don’t have a Fn key on my
external keyboard and Ctrl-Space is mapped to Quicksilver 😥 Also whompresses the key while I was away from my desk? ✊

@ctietze This keeps happening to me all the time and I hate it. I NEVER even want to switch input methods but apparently my computer thinks otherwise 🤷‍♂️

@ctietze Do you have Pinyin/拼音 even as an option? I thought this would only affect people that occasionally enter Chinese characters…

ctietze,
@ctietze@mastodon.social avatar

@laotang I do, but the occasion is more like "does my app break when the file autosaves while people are in the modal Pinyin input popover thingie" :)

@ctietze Interesting, never thought that this could be an issue. In my experience there is much better support for 汉字 than for Umlaute (esp. on the command line). Might indicate Apple‘s priorities to a degree :)

@ctietze That's bizarre...

ctietze,
@ctietze@mastodon.social avatar

@tilez it is! I have no clue which key press triggers this. New in macOS , so thanks for that :)

tilez,
@tilez@mas.to avatar

@ctietze Did you happen to add the Pinyin input method too, or did it just show up in the options?

ctietze,
@ctietze@mastodon.social avatar

@tilez the additional layouts are completely my "fault": I added these to test different keyboard input schemes in my apps

@ctietze Also what's that third icon, a DNA keyboard? 😁

ctietze,
@ctietze@mastodon.social avatar

@Cykelero That's the NEO2 keyboard layout. Imagine Dvorak, but optimizing prose writing in German, putting often used characters on the home rows.

@ctietze Oh, neat! The equivalent for French would be Bépo.
Is that image a logo specific to the keyboard layout, then?

ctietze,
@ctietze@mastodon.social avatar

@Cykelero yeah it comes with the keyboard layout file somehow, I believe. Haven't checked how that works in 15 years :D

@ctietze Same here! (usually in Xcode) I'm not sure how to dismiss it at all, even the mouse; I think switching apps usually works ends up doing the trick.
