Windows 10: How to set a default keyboard input language for a particular program permanently so that...

I need to use English keyboard input layout whenever I type in Visual Studio Code for example. However I use usually different keyboard language layout for other situations. Is it possible to set that anytime I open that program, my default keyboard input language will switch to the preferred one (in this case English)?

Input language and keyboard language are different.How to set as default.

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand your query related to keyboard language and input language on your PC.



One of the things you can try is to override the default input method and see if that helps.

1. Press Windows +
   I keys to open Settings.
   
2. Click on Devices and then select
   Typing.
   
3. Under More keyboard settings click on
   Advanced keyboard settings.
   
4. Now on the Override for default input method select the drop down to the
   language you want to set.
   
5. Restart the PC.
   

Let us know how it goes.
