DOT to COMMA on magic keyboard with numeric

Hello!

I know this is an old question, still none of few answers I found works, can someone tell me please? - Hi! I have a bluetooth magic keyboard with numeric pad and I would like to change the dot to comma. Where should I do it? I have changed the dot to comma in the advanced of the language settings for all languages I use but the keyboard still writes dot. also changed the region in Numbers. Looked everywhere.

P.S. keyboard is international + russian.

It is such a neccessary thing so sad that apple still havent solved this.

The icon on the menu is the third from the left in this screenshot. Click it and you should be able to choose which keyboard to use. Hopefully it is the same in Ventura. I don't know what all got changed, I haven't upgraded yet.

Try System Preferences/Keyboard. I do not have a magic keyboard with a numeric keypad to test with but this works for my wired apple keyboard with the keypad

If you check the box for "show in menu bar", you can switch between keyboards. When I switch to Russian-PC, the dot on my numeric keypad on my wired keyboard is a comma

Thank you Badunit for your efforts!

Now System Preferences is called System Settings I guess. The layout is also different. The closest I found was under Keyboard where net to Touch Bar settings are button Keyboard shortcuts, there, last one is Modifier Keys and then under Select Kayboard I could choose Apple Keyboard or Magic Keyboard with touch ID and Numeric Keypad, but even If I press Done, it never save my choice Magic Keyboard and there is no place where to set any key, what could be related to dot or comma, I looked everywhere and wasted so much time. Box "Show Input meny" was also checked. Only under General - Language & Region there I can change 1 234 567,89 to 1,234,567.89 and back but nothing changes in Numbers or any other place I wrote with that, it is still dot.

Yes indeed! Big changes. Now looks a lot like iOS/iPadOS. As you've probably discovered, search is most helpful for finding things in System Settings in Ventura. Search for 'input' and pick any of the offered locations with 'Keyboard'.

On my system Keyboard looks like this:

To add Russian I would click the + at the lower left.

Not sure whether you saw my post above about just searching for 'input' in System Settings.

Another way to get to the right place is to click Keyboard in the section list down the left and click the Edit... button to the right of Input Sources.

Taking you to this, where you click the + button lower left to add Russian.

oh wow!

it really works with Russian now. Although I have russian lettters then and I have to switch between number sand letters, but at least it is comma finally. So does't it mean is I have INT + RU keyboard I can have comma only with russian letters even tho I have choosed only comma as a decimal seperator?

After adding the Russian-PC keyboard, did you select it as the active keyboard? I did that on the menu bar. It can probably be done in Keyboard Preferences, too, but I wasn't sure how and I didn't really want to mess around with my settings much.

You are in the wrong place. You have to do this in Input Sources, not Languages & Region. You have to select your keyboard in the input menu at the top right of the screen.

Also with Russian, try doing Shift plus the dot. It might turn into comma.

Hello Tom,

I've tried this everywhere. No, shift+ also doesn't change dot to comma.

To what under exactly Input menu is, cannot see it anywhere at the top right?
