Keyboard input language change, dynamic?

McGreed

Hey, I'm normally using an english keyboard layout, but whenever I use e-mail or MSN programs, I often change to Danish so I can use the extra danish letters. The problem is just that I have to change keyboard input setting ever time, so I was wondering if anyone knew a way for Windows 7 to remember which keyboard input setting is for which programs?

Try pressing ALT+SHIFT. As far as I know, it toggles the layout between your original layout and an English layout so you might have to set Danish as your standard keyboard layout for it to work.

I disabled all key commands for keyboard changes. I think it's the last language per app.

Are you sure you can't use these extra characters through key combinations? For instance, the keyboards in belgium (azerty) have

I know, but it doesn't remember it from session to session, it keeps only it in the memory and forgets it. I wanted something more permantly (without shortcuts)

@Lamont
Yeah so do I, because I always hit it when I'm working and suddenly my shortcuts doesn't work in the program because layout changed.

@MightyPea
No idea, haven't tried that, no idea how to actually get it and still, it would be a bit of a pain, I was just wondering if there would be a way to get around that. Guess not, but thanks anyway.

Extra question.

Can you disable the ALT+CTRL language switchin entirely?

Zooming in the graph editor is screwing with mah hotkeys!

@bejkon
Yeah, just right click the language bar beside the tray and select Settings... (or if you don't have it there, go to Control Panel /Region and Language and then go to the tab Keyboards and Languages and click Change keyboards) and under the Advanced Key Settings you can change the hotkeys there (or change them all to None as I)

Or just delete the extra languages, which is what I do.
