For a long time – I’ve had the “pleasure” of sometimes being pretty annoyed when I press “something in VS” and I all of a sudden am working with an English Keyboard. It is only so in VS and not in all other applications.
Today a colleague showed me what was the issue: When you press LeftAlt + Shift + F10 to resolve a class into the proper namespace – you actually invoke the Windows Language bar as well. This triggers Windows to perform a keyboardswitch into English (which is default language). As I’ve only removed the languagebar from view – but not uninstalled the English keyboard support – I had a problem.
To resolve this:
- Open “Regional and Language Options” in Windows
- Go to Keyboards and Languages
- Change Keyboards…
- Delete English keyboard support
- Voila!
That is all there is to it. You don’t even have to restart Windows to see the effect.
