  1. How do I stop a specific app from triggering the language change hotkey?


    When playing videogames, I sometimes press Ctrl+Shift, which is the layout switch hotkey that I'm used to. I don't want to completely remove/change it, just stop it from working when I'm gaming. Is there anything I can do?

    :)

    Is it possible to assign hotkeys to change the language, I want the "Russian and Ukrainian" language to change to the combination of keys ctrl + shift, and the "English" language to change to shift + alt ?

    I would appreciate if you can provide us the following information to help us understand the issue better.

    • Is the issue specific to some apps or with all apps?

    Step 1: Set the display language to English by following the steps below and check if the issue is resolved.

      Settings and select the top most search result.
    • Select Time & Language and click on Region & Language from the left side panel of the window.
