    Is there a keyboard shortcut to switch between the language script I'm typing?


    Just to preface, I am already aware that you can hit left alt + shift to switch between input methods. My computer has both English and Korean. When I switch to Korean, I have the option to type in either English or Hangul when I hover, it's called "input mode". How can I switch between these options while in Korean IME quicker without having to click? Is there a keyboard shortcut?

    :)

  2. Problem with the new keyboard language switching menu

    Hi Jugan,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    The default keyboard shortcut to switch between system language is by pressing the
    Windows and Spacebar keys.



    So, if you don't want the language menu to appear while playing the game, then I suggest you to change keyboard shortcut by following the below steps and change the keyboard shortcuts for changing the system language or keyboard language.



    1. Go to Settings > Click on Devices > Click on
      Typing from the left pane.
    2. Scroll down and click on Advanced keyboard settings and click on
      Input language hot keys.
    3. In the Advanced Key Settings tab, you will find the key sequences for the input languages that you can change as your preference.


    If you would like me to provide additional advice, simply respond to this thread. I will get notified and I’ll reply to you as soon as I can.

  3. Switch between different language keybords with shortcut buttons.

    Hi Oguzhan,



    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I understand your concern to switch between different languages on keyboard on Windows 10 and will assist you to resolve this issue.

    • On which application, you need to switch the input language?
    Use the Language bar to switch between languages that use different keyboard layouts. When you switch a language by using the Language bar, the keyboard layout changes to the native keyboard for that language.

    Let’s try to press Windows logo key +Spacebar together to Switch input language and keyboard layout .

    Refer to these Microsoft article links below and check, if these articles helps you to fix your issue:
