Microsoft, Keep Your Hands Off My Keyboard
- its_the_future 7y agoI don't know why it happens, but it seems to be "all the time" sometimes. Like if I lock the computer. I've grown a habit of peeking near the clock for the language and resigned myself to hit Alt+Shift whenever it's the wrong one.
- CTOSian 7y agodid you run some app built with SDL before that? This is what I reported to SDL bug list looong time ago https://bugzilla.libsdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1697 https://bugzilla.libsdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1697 and btw, no, M$ does not give an F, really: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-other_settings/windows-keeps-automatically-adding-en-us-keyboard/69aaea0d-f588-4d54-89fa-a632ae7bced3?page=1 https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10... indeed this thing started with windoze8.
- CTOSian 7y agoThis is an SDL bug (wontfix IIRC) I found that 6yrs ago, after running some emulators (build with SDL library), What I did was to disable the US keyboard from the registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SYSTEM ControlSet001 Control Keyboard Layouts 00000409 Then remove Layout File : KBDUS.DLL remove Layout display: @%SystemRoot%system32input.dll,-5000
- HissingMachine 7y agoI have never thought that it might be something windows does automatically. I have had this problem even back in XP since some programs that I use like photoshop use keyboard shortcuts with space involved so sometimes I accidentally press win + space and change my keyboard layout, it's not that big of a deal since I switch often between layouts since I use US layout when programming. But now that I think about it, my machines switch layouts randomly during the day.
