I am using two different keyboards for the greek language and I want users to be able to switch between them using the control-shift combination.

Here is what happens while testing the above:

In keyman configuration, keyboards appear in the following order:
1. English Windows
2. Greek automated
3. Greek for all

I start from the English Windows keyboard.
Alt-shift ---> Greek automated
Alt-shift ---> English Windows keyboard.
Alt-shift ---> Greek automated
Control – shift ---> No change (I should have gotten my second greek keyboard, Greek for all)
Alt-shift ---> English Windows keyboard.
Alt-shift ---> Greek for all!!!! It looks as though when I pressed control - shift previously, keyman memorized the change.
Control – shift ---> Greek automated. This time the control-shift works! However, if I press control-shift again, it does not revert to Greek for all!
Alt-shift ---> English Windows keyboard.
etc.

In other words, control-shift works on Greek for all (the second greek keyboard defined in the configuration section) but not on greek automated.

I have noticed that this happens when I use Word.
When I use the keyboards from within a form (for example, now), the keyboard interchange works fine.

Any idea why this happens?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi Amaryllis,

Thanks for the extra information! I've just done some more testing with this and have found a few odd issues which we'll have to look into.

I will get back to you as soon as we've made some progress.

Kind regards,

Paul Durdin
