How to Set a Default Input Method

I have added Japanese language support to my system in addition to UK English, as I develop software that requires translation. I have configured the keyboard to the UK Extended layout for UK English.

 

After installing Japanese language support, despite having UK English set as my current language, the Input Method Editor (IME) defaults to the Japanese IME with the 102/106 key layout. This means that I need to remember to switch the input method to the UK Extended Keyboard every time I log on. Otherwise, pressing Shift-2 produces the @ character instead of ".

 

Is there a way to make the system use the UK Extended keyboard layout by default instead of the Japanese IME?

 

Thank you,

David

    Click on UK English (or the language you want to adjust), and then click on Options. In the Keyboards section, ensure that UK Extended is listed. If it's not listed, you can add it by clicking on Add a keyboard and selecting the correct keyboard layout.
