Somehing scary happened with my Snow Leopard keyboard shortcuts. I accidentally went into Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard and checked “Show Keyboard & Character Viewer in menu bar”
Don’t do it!
Once you turn it on, there’s no getting rid of it. It’s a bug, but unselecting the check box will no do it.
At some point I also went into Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts and pressed the “Restore Defaults” button because it said there were some conflicts. I don’t have any special keyboard shortcuts set up, so I just wanted the defaults. But now check out these two screenshots.
Command-Space now means “Select the previous input source.”
Control-Space now means “Show Spotlight search field.”
Huh? For my entire Spotlight history Command-Space has brought up the search field. But now it’s changed to Control-Space because of input sources? These screen shots show I’m not hallucinating, but can someone please commiserate with me or at least confirm that this is bizarre?
