Thank you!! It was very helpful with all the images along with detailed explanations. (People who is using English as second language, the images help a lot!) Thank you!!
I really appreciate this article. I switch between Japanese and English, and although I already knew how to change the keyboards, I didn’t know how to create a shortcut, this was super helpful! Thanks!
Anastasia, I use Control + Space. You can do the same to easily switch between languages.
If you follow the steps in the last section of the tutorial, you can set your own shortcut for this task.
Hope this helps.
thank you. Also, I see U.S. International Keyboard as an option, I believe that is the default keyboard here in the U.S. Can other keyboard layouts with images, avatars, emoji’s, and the like be loaded? I ask the question and yet I don’t know if that is something available? Can you let me know about that?
To insert emojis in your text, you can use the keyboard shortcut:
Command + Control + Spacebar
An emoji palette opens and you can select the one you want.
For more symbols, go to System Preferences, and then Keyboard and make sure the “Show keyboard and emoji viewers in menu bar” option is enabled.
You can then click or tap the language flag in your menu bar and select “Show Emoji & Symbols” to reveal other symbols. Double-click to insert any of them in your text.
Hope this helps. 🙂
