Yes, however the command+spacebar command clashes with launching spotlight so
you need to change the shortcut key in system preferences/ keyboard There've
been threads on this subject before which you can find in the archive.

Hi!
Is there a command for switching keyboard layouts on the mac?
I could do some testing here to see if i get the same result.

Hi Mike,
Go to system preferences/ and choose "text" tab. And then make sure that
spelling popup button is set to "automatic by language". It might help.
If that doesn't help, then there's another awkward way: when composing a
document in German, and having switched your speech and keyboard t
I have mixed emotions about the Touch Bar, Anne, but I ordered this model
anyway, because I know that sooner or later, it will be standard on all new
machines. I figured I might as well get used to it now, while I am still
receptive enough to change.
With the new Mac, I find that I make a lot
Hello Mike,
I’m so glad you’ve solved your problem. So you have one of these new MacBooks
with the touchbar. I haven’t seen one yet.
Cheers,
Anne

Hello Anne,
The problem is finally solved.
I went into the Keyboard preference, where I discovered that everything was
defaulting to English. For some reason, VO was not reading the top option in
that menu that selects the language dictionary of the keyboard language. While

Hello Anne,
Sierra was already installed on this machine. It was done at the store before
I purchased it. That having been said, I’m not sure if they did a clean
install or overwrote an earlier version of the OS.

Was Sierra installed on your new MacBook when you got it or did you update it

Hello Anne,
Please disregard my question about reinitializing the PRAM. I shouldn’t have
asked. I just googled it, and the answer came right up.
That having been said,I still had problems, and I am not sure if the PRAM was
reinitialized. This MacBook has an SSD, and when I was trying to

Hello Mike,
To reinitialise the PRAM, first shut down your computer, then hold down the
following four keys: Command, Option, letter p and letter r. With these four
held down, press the Power key as normal. Keep the four keys held down until
you’ve heard the start up chime four times, then rele
Hi Anne,
I purchased this Mac about two months ago, and I am running Sierra.
I am rather nervous about reinitializing the PRAM on such a new unit. However,
if I decide to do so, how is this accomplished?
Best as always,
Mike

Hello Mike,
Thank you for your kind words.
Have you reinitialised the PRAM lately? I find it often fixes anomalies. Also,
which level of Mac OS are you on? I recently installed Sierra and I’m not
having your problem.
Cheers,
Anne

Hello Anne,
Unfortunately, it is not detecting those changes. You know, this is the first
time in all the years I’ve used the Mac where you didn’t have a solution for
me. You’re incredible, and I thank you for all the years of fantastic advice.
Perhaps someone else might have a solution.

Hello Mike,
Your Mac should automatically detect the language and use the appropriate
dictionary. I haven’t noticed any such problems switching between British
English and French.
Cheers,

I’m embarrassed to ask this question since I’ve been using a Mac for over eight
years and love it.
Here’s the problem:
