I have 3 languages on my computer (has recently added French) and switching them with default Alt+Shift is really annoying, because sometimes you can type the wrong symbol if you forget the language you are using at the moment. I use French, but not so often as the other two.

So, my question is: can one bind a certain key or key combination to switch to only this one language?

  • Okay, guys, the question is closed, because I've found Autohotkey, and it suits all my needs. Thanks for your answers.

  • Ah, and for anyone interested, here's a link to the script threads. I've binded the language switching to Capslock too. It still functions, but you need to press Shift + Capslock instead. +CAPSLOCK::CAPSLOCK Capslock:: Send {Shift Down}{Alt Down}{Alt Up}{Shift Up} RETURN French language is not on the panel, so it doesn't get in the way when cycling through languages with Capslock, but I can switch to it by pressing RCtrl.

  • Thanks for the input. It works, but the problem is, you can still access the third language with normal alt + shift. Is there a way to isolate it somehow? And another thing, can one possibly change the key sequence? I guess you have to edit registry for this.

  • Yes you can isolate Alt' + 'Shift . Just select the Between input languages & then Change Key Sequence. Select them to Not assigned & you are done. Which key sequence you mean.?? Yes you can change it.

You could probably setup a link which executes a script like this article shows (You can add key combinations to links).
