Good day everyone!

It would seem that such a trifle is to switch the keyboard layout, press two ALT + SHIFT buttons, but how many times do you have to retype a word because the layout has not changed, or forgot to press on time and change the layout. I think that even those who type a lot and have mastered the "blind" method of typing on the keyboard will agree with me.

Probably, in this regard, recently there have been quite popular utilities that allow you to change the keyboard layout in automatic mode, that is, on the fly: you type and do not hesitate, and the robot program will change the layout in time, and along the way will correct errors or gross typos. It is about such programs that I wanted to mention in this article (by the way, some of them have long become indispensable for many users) ...

Punto switcher

Without exaggeration, this program can be called one of the best of its kind. Almost on the fly, it changes the layout, as well as corrects an incorrectly typed word, corrects typos and extra spaces, gross errors, extra capital letters, and so on.

I also note the amazing compatibility: the program works in almost all versions of Windows. For many users, this utility is the first thing they install on a PC after installing Windows (and in principle, I understand them!).

Add to everything else an abundance of options (the screenshot is given above): you can customize almost every little thing, select buttons to switch and fix layouts, customize the appearance of the utility, set up rules for switching, specify programs in which you do not need to switch layouts (useful, for example, in games), etc. In general, my rating is 5, I recommend it to everyone without exception!

Key Switcher

A very, very good program for auto-switching layouts. What impresses most about it: ease of use (everything happens automatically), flexibility of settings, support for 24 languages! In addition, the utility is free for individual use.

Works in almost all modern versions of Windows.

By the way, the program corrects typos quite well, corrects random double capital letters (often users do not have time to press the Shift key when typing), when changing the typing language, the utility will show an icon with a country flag, which will notify the user.

In general, using the program is comfortable and convenient, I recommend you to get acquainted!

Keyboard ninja

One of the most famous utilities for automatically changing the language of the keyboard layout when typing. Easily and quickly corrects the typed text, which saves you time. Separately, I would like to highlight the settings: there are a lot of them and the program can be customized, as they say, "for yourself."

Keyboard Ninja preferences window.

The main features of the program:

• auto-correction of the text if you forgot to switch the layout;
• replacement of keys for switching and changing the language;
• translation of a Russian-language text into transliteration (sometimes a very useful option, for example, when your interlocutor sees hieroglyphs instead of Russian letters);
• notifying the user about changing the layout (not only by sound, but also graphically);
• the ability to customize templates for automatic replacement of text when typing (ie the program can be "taught");
• sound notification about switching layouts and typing;
• correction of gross typos.

To summarize, the program can be given a solid four. Unfortunately, it has one drawback: it has not been updated for a long time, and, for example, in the new Windows 10, errors often start to "roll in" (although some users have no problems in Windows 10 either, so here, whoever is lucky) ...

Arum Switcher

A very skillful and simple program for quickly correcting text that you typed in the wrong layout (it cannot switch on the fly!). On the one hand, the utility is convenient, on the other hand, it may seem to many not so functional: after all, there is no automatic recognition of the typed text, which means that in any case you have to use the "manual" mode.

On the other hand, not in all cases and not always it is necessary to immediately switch the layout, sometimes it even gets in the way when you want to type something non-standard. In any case, if you were not satisfied with the previous utilities, try this one (it gets bored, for sure, less).

By the way, I cannot fail to note one unique feature of the program, which is not found in its analogues. When "incomprehensible" characters in the form of hieroglyphs or question marks appear on the clipboard, in most cases this utility can correct them and when you paste the text, it will be in its normal form. Isn't it convenient ?!

Anetto Layout

Website: http://ansoft.narod.ru/

An old enough program for switching keyboard layouts and changing the text in the buffer, and the latter you can see how it will look (see the example below in the screenshot). Those. you can choose not only to change the language, but also the case of letters, do you agree that it is sometimes very useful?

Due to the fact that the program has not been updated for a long time, there may be compatibility problems in new versions of Windows. For example, the utility worked on my laptop, but it did not work with all the features (there was no auto-switching, the rest of the options worked). So, I can recommend it to those who have old PCs with old software, but to the rest, I think it will not work ...

That's all for me today, all successful and fast typing. Best wishes!

The standard combination of switching keyboard layouts in Windows is not convenient for everyone. For this reason, it is possible to change the combination. Let's look at how to change the keyboard layout using our own method.

Let's move on to an overview of the available methods on the Windows operating system.

Changing keyboard shortcuts on Windows 7

Follow the instructions:

1. We open "Start".
2. Go to the "Control Panel".
3. Next, select the item "Languages ​​and regional standards".
4. Now we click on the "Languages ​​and keyboards" section, where the "Change keyboard" item will be available.
5. In the upper horizontal menu, switch to "Switch" and in it, click "Change combination ...".
6. Here the system will display all the alternative options, select one of them, click "OK" and close the windows.

It remains to double-check the performance of the new settings. If everything is fine, we leave it that way, and if the switching does not work, then we try to repeat the same steps again, trying not to miss a single point.

Changing keyboard shortcuts on Windows 8

Follow the instructions:

1. Click on the language bar in the lower right corner of the screen.
2. A window will open with available layouts and the "Settings" item - go through it.
3. The user will be transferred to a new section of settings - go to "Additional parameters", which are available in the left vertical menu.
4. We are looking for the blue text "Change combinations", which is located in the section "Switch input methods".
5. Go to the "Toggle" item in the upper horizontal menu and select an alternative change method.
6. Click "Apply" and close all windows.

We double-check the efficiency of the method. If something does not work as it should, then we try to repeat the same methods again, carefully following the instructions. Perhaps a point was overlooked.

Changing keyboard shortcuts on Windows 8.1

Follow the instructions:

1. Open "Start" and go to "Control Panel".
2. We find the item "Clock, language ...", open it and click on "Language".
3. In the left horizontal menu, go to the section of additional parameters.
4. Go to "Change keyboard shortcut", open the item with the same name again and select an alternative method in a new window.
5. Confirm the action by clicking "OK" or "Apply" and close all windows.

We check if we can change the language using the new method.

Change keyboard shortcut on Windows 10

Follow the instructions:

1. Click on the language bar in the lower right corner and select "Language Settings".
2. Now you need to pay attention to the right horizontal menu and go to the "Additional keyboard settings" item.
3. In the window that opens, click on the blue text "Language bar settings".
4. Another settings tab will open, where in the horizontal top menu select "Switch" and at the bottom click on "Change keyboard shortcut".
5. All available methods will be displayed. Select the appropriate one, apply it and close the windows.

If everything works as expected, then there is nothing to worry about. If an error occurs, it is recommended to go through each step of our instructions again.

How to change the keyboard layout on Windows

Now we will consider each standard combination for changing the language to Russian, English, Ukrainian and others.

• Windows 2000 | XP | Vista - Shift + Left Alt;
• Windows 7 - left Alt + Shift;
• Windows 8, 8.1 - Win + Space;
• Windows 10 - Win + Space or Left Alt + Shift.

As you can see, the standard combinations on computers with different operating systems do not differ much from each other.

Outcome

We've seen how to change and customize keyboard shortcuts. There are various methods of positioning combinations, which are convenient for each user in their own way.

If you find a method that is not described in our article, then be sure to share with us in the comments!

Quite a common situation. Let's imagine that you entered a password from the Russian keyboard layout in English or Russian Windows. And it seems to be okay, but if you cannot change the layout in the Windows login window, then how can you enter the password and get into the long-awaited system?

Ordinary ASCII will help to solve this problem. Yes, yes, you also have them, you don't need to go anywhere.

All operating systems natively support international ASCII characters. This means that we have the ability to enter characters from another layout, even if it is not installed. That is, if the layout is only English, it will not hurt to enter characters in Russian. Beauty!

Entering a password on this screen without the desired layout is easy

In order to enter an ASCII character, you need to press and hold the key , then (without releasing it) press the key 0 (zero) on the numeric keypad and then immediately enter the required value.

How to enter an ASCII character

Let's test it right now. Select the Russian keyboard layout (RU) in Windows. Let's try, without changing it, to enter the English letter “Q”.

To do this, we perform the following steps sequentially. Beforehand, of course, open any text editor, in general, an area, even ICQ, where the character will be entered.

1. .
2. Press and hold 0 .
3. Without releasing these two keys, press 81 .

As you can see, the capital letter Q has appeared. This allows us to enter the password without any problems in any layout.

It is not necessary to type numbers on the numeric keypad - it is just more convenient that way. But you can use the usual keys of the top row of the keyboard without any problems.

Now let's try the other way around - select the English layout (EN) and enter the Russian letter “G”.

All steps are the same as last time, just enter a number this time 195 ... Immediately after letting go , the capital letter we need appears.

As you can see, all you need to know is the number of the required symbol. It is not difficult to find it - the following table will help us with this.

Basic ASCII characters

The following ASCII characters will help you enter any letter you want in an English or Russian keyboard layout.

Now you will not have any problems with entering passwords if the layout is suddenly "buggy", or you did not select it at the installation stage.

Switching the input language on the keyboard of a computer or laptop is almost the most frequently used function. And not everyone, especially novice computer users, knows how to translate a keyboard into English and vice versa on a computer. In this article, we will describe all the ways to switch the keyboard input language on a computer and laptop.

Switching methods

We will now take a closer look at both methods.

English keyboard translation by keyboard shortcut

There are two possible combinations of buttons on the keyboard to switch its input language.

• "CTRL" + "SHIFT";
• ALT + SHIFT.

This is how these buttons look on the keyboard:

Switching the keyboard language with the ALT and SHIFT buttons

Switching the keyboard language with the CTRL and SHIFT keys

To switch the language with these buttons, you must first hold down the first of them ("CTRL" or "ALT"), and then, without releasing it, press the second button - "SHIFT".

By default, after installing Windows of any version, the installed keyboard language change combination is "ALT" + "SHIFT", but sometimes "CTRL" + "SHIFT" can be used.

In any case, it is worth trying the first, and if the switch does not happen, then the second.

The current keyboard input language is displayed on the taskbar next to the clock in the lower right corner of the screen.

If your language bar is missing, you can return it to the taskbar by.

Switching the keyboard language via the language bar

The second way how you can translate the computer keyboard into English is by switching it with the mouse in the language panel itself.
