Keyboard Layout keeps falling back to US layout after Reboot (i found a -maybe general- solution! at least it seems so).
Hello,
for a very long time, i had this bug, where the keyboard layout was reseted to US layout after a reboot.
I found a lot of ideas online, but nothing helped.
I had this problem first with a MBP early 2011 on OSX 10.10, then 10.11 and now on a MBP 2014 10.13.
--> Suspected Solution which seems to work for me:
There are two files named 'com.apple.HIToolbox.plist'. One in MacHD/Library/Preferences/ and one in <Userfoldername>/Library/Preferences/. Open those xml files with a text editor TextWrangler (do it for one of the files and overwrite the other later) and search for your preferred keyboard layout name. In my case i found that my desired keyboard layout had a ID with the number 3 and the US keyboard layout had ID number 0. I deleted the US keyboard instances and replaced the IDs of my desired layouts with the number 0.
I modified the file in the User Libraries Preferences folder, copied it to the system library preferences folder and did several reboots. It is definitiely not changing back to US layout (for now). Also the files are keeping their modifications and are not corrected by the system. That leads me to think, that i might solved my case (yey cool).
