  1. Toggle to lock keyboard input


    Hi all,


    Is there a way to lock your keyboard input through Windows?


    My cats are a pain in the neck. I normally leave my laptop on for music/calls/etc. at night, and they like to crawl all over the keyboard, causing all sorts of mass destruction by the time I'm up in the morning. It would be so helpful if there was a shortcut or something to toggle locking the keyboard and preventing any input.


    Thanks in advance.

    :)

    Toggling between keyboard input methods in complex Chinese

    Hi, if you need to toggle between different keyboards you need to follow these steps:

    • Click the Start menu and select Settings.
    • Select Time & language.
    • Click Region & language in the left column.
    • Under Languages click the language you want as default and click Set as default.
    Hope that helps.
