Non-standard keys for changing the layout in Windows 7

Question

Keyboard layout

I would like to change the layout using the Caps Lock key, and the caps function to Shift + Caps Lock. I have this on Linux, and switching layouts by Shift + Alt has become terribly inconvenient) Can you tell me if it's possible to do this in Windows 7?

Answer 1

Since “punto” is too heavy for me, I once found and have been using keyla ever since . Allows you to hang the switch on any (I have caps) key; supports the same layouts that are installed in Windows. And, it seems, some of the versions crashed IE8 under the seven =) But here I recommend downloading and trying it yourself.

Answer 2

Try Punto Switcher.

Answer 3

And can someone tell me how to change the transliteration (what the punch-switcher does on the printscreen) to hang on the caps?
Switch language with left control

Answer 4

“I switch the language with the left control”
Ummm, but copy, paste, save, etc. doesn't interfere?

Answer 5

I use RusLat95
Can assign switching to any combination.
A little buggy: I have Win7 Home Basic, switching layouts - by LShift (EN), RShift (RU). At the same time, if you press CAPS, then the "shift" functions are completely blocked: only a single click on the "icon" of the program in the tray helps.

Answer 6

I used this program on Windows.

Answer 7

I support the Punto Switcher option.
Changing the layout by CapsLock (and Caps - by Shift + Caps), by any of the Shift||Ctrl (including LShift||Ctrl - рус||eng, RShift||Ctrl - eng||rus) - everything works.
For many years of acquaintance never met glitches. And the only drawback voiced by “non-fans” of the program is that auto-switching in inappropriate situations often interferes with turning off auto-switching and using Break, Shift + Break when you need to change the language of the typed text.

Answer 8

Try my development: punto switcher helper It
is more convenient to switch layouts using the f+j keys, and to correct the layout using d+k. This is much more convenient for blind typing. Without it, typing blindly is not at all comfortable for me.

Answer 9

For three years I have been using the wonderful program "SimpleSwitcher".
Weighs less than MB, light and fast. Correction of the layout of the written text can be assigned to a hotkey. Fix "the last word/consecutively each previous word/and the entire line.
It can also distinguish between left and right shift modifiers, which made it possible to set a more convenient layout change.
LCtrl+RShift - eng>rus
Lshift+RShift - rus>eng
I did this a long time ago, because at some point, especially when you write code, you started to stare at the rightmost monitor in order to understand the layout. Punto did not cope, because if he was coding, then he was distracted to answer someone, and then returned to the terminal again, punto often did not change the language on many functions. And if you compare punto with a simple, it's like a fat mastodon and a little fast mouse))
