Changing Keyboard Languages

I don't know if it's the same for yours, but pressing alt+shift on my

keyboard by itself switched the language whether I wanted it to or not. I used to do that frequently when I was intending to do something else. I don't know of a way to disable that feature, so I ended up removing every keyboard language on the system except the one I was using. Bing bang boom problem solved.

Hi,

Now here is a funny thing ... I have 3 keyboard languages installed; Irish, United Kingdom and United States. Hitting alt and shift gives me a different result from hitting control and shift. In one particular case when I am in United States, hitting control and shift does nothing at all. Very strange! Take care, Gerry Ellis If you don't know where you're going, How will you know when you get there?

David, that says something about you, even if it doesn't make that keyboard
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
issue any better. For me, it's control-shift that does it. I believe one must go and change it under language and region, but don't quote me on that. In windows 10, you have this handy switch that involves the spacebar. That is so much better and it almost makes me want to switch to Sin10. I have trouble when I use a dictionary software called WordFinder, for I get inadvertent changes as I go and look up English-Swedish definition or vice versa. You need the US layout as you operate the program, the Swedish (or whatever other language) for the word you're trying to find... And, of course, when you are in the "other-language" layout, your regular windows hotkeys won't react like you're used to. So, when you think you just hit control-s to save something, your system opens Sonar or SoundForge, or whatever program you've given the hotkey control-alt-s. Oh, aren't we glad of all these ways of wasting our time.... Gudrun

One changes language/region the other keyboard layout within a single language.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
IE, changing languages is the difference between US English, UK English, Belgian French and Colombian Spanish while keyboard layout is the difference between standard qwerty layout, standard dvorak, left hand dvorak and right hand dvorak. Note that layouts are specific to a given language/region.

Hi,

No, it means that you were left behind in a left wing but right minded attempt at righteousness. Is that not clear? Let me try again ... Left-leaning rights are often rightly left out of right-thinking peoples' assessments of rights that are left over from rites that are more appropriate to left-over civilisations. Oh, I giv up ... i wish I were ambidextrous! In fact, I've give my right arm to be ambidextrous. Take care, Gerry Ellis If you don’t know where you’re going, How will you know when you get there?

Maybe you defined the key for this as Control Shift, by default it is also the left Alt Key and left Shift Key in Windows 7.
