I have a UK English keyboard and I've recently installed Visual Assist X. I'm finding that sometimes Visual Studio forgets what language I'm using and the keyboard is switched to American (e.g. the " key becomes @ etc.). If I restart Visual Studio all is OK again.
Any ideas? Is this a VA bug? Installing VA is the only change I've made recently. I've searched the forum but couldn't find anyone else with this problem. Thanks.

I'm using:
- Visual Studio 2010 SP1
- Visual Assist X 10.7.1901.0
- Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 64 bit
- Region and language settings (including keyboard) set to English (UK) throughout.
- English (UK), English (US) and Japanese(Japan) keyboards installed, not that the Japanese is important, that's just left over from some previous experiments.
- English, German and Japanese display languages installed. Again, I don't care about German or Japanese display languages, they're only there because of previous i18n experiments.
- Project settings are C++ MFC 64 bit Unicode.

That was it, Left Alt+Shift is set to switch between input languages. Clearly this is a key combination that I've not used before but which you use quiet a lot in VA.
Thanks very much.

Another thing to check is if there is a keyboard shortcut to change the active keyboard. Open the language bar, and then go into the settings. In the settings dialog, look at the "Advanced Key Settings" tab. Here you can set a keyboard sequence to switch between keyboards, or to jump to a specific keyboard.
If either of these are set, you might be accidentally triggering this while working with the IDE or with VA.
Alternatively, if you are not currently using the other keyboards, you can always uninstall them for now, and reinstall them at a later date if required. |

Visual Assist should not cause anything like this. One thing that can cause similar symptoms is when the default language is not set correctly.
Can you please check what is the default keyboard language?
Start / Control Panel / Clock, Language, and Region / Change keyboard or other input method
here, click on the "Change keyboards..." button on the "Keyboards and languages" tab.
You can change the default keyboard in the dropdown menu.
(Alternatively, you can search for "input languages" in Start menu and click on "Change keyboard or other input methods")
I understand that it worked before you installed Visual Assist but this is a setting that is worth checking, first. |
