mathematic Posted December 11, 2019 Posted December 11, 2019 While I am typing something fairly lengthy, occasionally a message pops up asking if I want to go into some mode, where I don't type. When I see it, my answer is always no However on occasion I am busy typing without looking at the screen. If this message pops up and I don't check no, it assumes a yes answer and locks the keyboard. How can I get the keyboard back? Whenever it happens, the only recourse I know about is do a restart, which is a nuisance.

There are certain key configurations which cause quick switch of keyboard and language. What they are you can see by clicking on the right bottom bar where is keyboard small icon, press RMB, and pick up "Settings..", then in tab "Advanced Key Settings".. they are mentioned. Alternatively Start, enter "Language", then pick up "Region and Language", then tab "Keyboard and Languages" and "Change Keyboard.." this will bring you to the same window as above. (there is more possible ways to get to it) I verified it on my Win7. A few screen-shots from the net: It is the first thing I am switching off after fresh installation of new instance of OS, as it is unbearable annoying.. Press "Change Key Sequence" and pick up "Not Assigned" on both and voila! Edited December 11, 2019 by Sensei
