[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1259505, member: 38864"] Agreed… it would be nice. We do periodically get people through here who are highly rigid with their routines and moan when OS X doesn't work exactly the same way they are used to. OS X is far more flexible than most people realize, but there are limits. I'm continuing to dig into this, and I'll just go ahead and list the 2 files that should have the relevant strings. All are found in [I]~/Library/Preferences[/I]: [LIST] [*]com.apple.universalaccess.plist [*]com.apple.symbolichotkeys.plist [/LIST] Those two files are preference files, and both get modified when I use System Preferences to modify the keyboard shortcut for switching inputs. The string needed should be in one or the other, though I am having difficulty find the exact one. EDIT: Bleah… i got sloppy. Nevermind the .conf file mentioned beforehand. That belonged to a DOS emulator. EDIT 2: Ok, the exact string is in com.apple.symbolichotkeys.plist and the Property Key is 60. With "Select the previous input source" set to SHIFT-COMMAND-L, the parameters for fields 0, 1, and 2, are 108, 37, and 1179648. Fields 0 and 1 appear to both belong to the L because they both change if I use a different letter (107 and 40 for K). The 3rd parameter changes with each combination of the modifier keys I try. Anywho, that is as far as I can take it. If you can take it further when you get your MacBook, please do report back. [/QUOTE]
