Sorry to arrest you twice here. First of all, the hotkey for changing a keyboard layout, is and has always been, Alt-Shift. I have never seen the Ctrl-Shift combo used for this purpose. Unless someone has changed it on your system. I have had several computers, running different flavors of Windows, and based on both English and locale versions. And as I stated, never hav seen anything but Alt-Shift being the standard hotkey provided by Microsoft. Note, that it is fully possible to change that hotkey, and if someone has done that on your machine, you may be right enough in your statements..
Secondly, I am changing keyboard layout several times every week, and with the newer versions of Window-Eyes, it definitely announces the new layout activated. Seem to my memory, that this was not the case in old versions, but for at least the last few years, the announcement has been there. I even tested it right ahead of writing this message. Once again, sorry for arresting you, but think it will help the initial user the better, if we give correct info from bottom up. Smile. David On 9/5/2014 7:09 PM, Kevin Minor wrote:
Hi. You have to keep hitting CTRL+SHIFT to get to the keyboard you want. Window-Eyes doesn’t tell you what keyboard you’re using. I wish it did. I’ve used JAWS with this feature, and it reported the keyboard that was being used, so it can be done. Have a good day, and don’t work too hard. Kevin Minor, Lexington, KY
