Windows 10: Command Prompt Shortcut: Language Input

Shortcut Creation: I am trying to create a shortcut that will help me in optimizing my switching between language inputs. I have downloaded the necessary language packs and know the shortcuts for opening a virtual keyboard Windows Key + ctrl + o along with the shortcut for switching language inputs Windows key + Spacebar. I would like to combine these two shortcuts or have one preformed right after the other. I am trying to create a notepad "- .bat" file for this purpose, I have the onscreen keyboard command osk.exe, I would like to know the executable name for the switching language com

:)

 

command prompt will not open in safe mode with command prompt

Would I just follow the same steps within safe mode after hooking up to the other system?

 

Language input problem after updating

If you add a secondary language to Windows 10 version 1803 that shares the same base language as the Windows display language, neither language can be removed.

For example: If English (United Kingdom) is the current Windows display language, and you then add English (India) to the Preferred languages list, afterwards neither English (United Kingdom) nor English (India) can be removed from the Preferred languages list.

Note: The most notable effect of having multiple related languages in the Preferred languages list is additional entries in the text input selector. You can remove unwanted language list entries using these steps:

1. From the Start menu, search for powershell.

2. Right-click Windows Powershell in the search results and choose Run as administrator.

3. Type or copy/paste the following command at the command prompt, and then press Enter.

Get-WinUserLanguageList

After typing this command, make note of the “LanguageTag” listed for the language you wish to remove, as you will need it in the next step.

4. Type or copy/paste each of the following commands at the command prompt, and then press Enter. In the following commands, instead of typing <languagecode>, replace it with the language tag you wish to remove, such as en-in for English (India).

$LangList = Get-WinUserLanguageList

$MarkedLang = $LangList | where LanguageTag -eq "<languagecode>"

$LangList.Remove($MarkedLang)

Set-WinUserLanguageList $LangList -Force

 

Shortcut Key for Language Input?

Hello,

So an older feature that you could use in the Control Panel through the clock/region/language settings was to set shortcuts for the language input on you computer's keyboard. This allowed me to shift through multiple languages by using combinations like
Ctrl+Left_Alt+(number) to switch. So I would set it like 0 for English, 1 for Spanish, 3 for Japanese, and 5 for Greek. This was a really useful feature for multiple languages since it allowed you to change through a long list of inputs without going through
the entire list via either clicking a language on the taskbar, or using the less useful shortcut to cycle through each language.

From other posts, it's to my understanding that Microsoft is gradually shifting the features of Control Panel to the general settings, allowing the features to not be fragmented on different interfaces. I'm very happy to hear about these changes, but it
seems that this shortcut function has yet to be re-implemented.

I guess my first question is whether the feature still exists and has just been moved to a location I haven't found yet. If it has been deleted, I was wondering if there are any plans to replace it, or if there is any way I could produce my own shortcuts
through either an alternative Windows service, or through a third-party application.

Lastly, a minor complaint I had with the original setting is that it always reset with every new Windows update. So after an update, I had to remap all of my language shortcuts. Note, this is on my personal laptop, so I don't think this is an issue with
some administrative setting deleting any template (though I may be wrong). If it is (or will be) in the settings, I was hoping that my shortcuts would be saved through each update.

Thank you!
