Speaking easier, the keyboard layout is a way to understand the computer commands that enters the user by pressing certain keyboard keys.

Almost for each language, their layouts are created and adapted (key matches with numbers, letters, symbols and hieroglyphs). In addition, when entering commands or text, the SHIFT, ALT, CTRL, Capslok and others are often used.

If you look at the layout indicator next to the clock, you will see a pop-up tip on the standard key combination to switch the layout installed in the system.

As can be seen from the screenshot - a combination of Win + space is used. Before you look for the settings, I advise you to try whether other standard layout switching combinations work.

In some cases, they are quite enough. In Windows 8, in addition to Win + Space, there is still a combination of Alt + Shift - these are default settings.

In any case, after setting, you will have Win + space and the combination you assigned.

Click the mouse over the layout icon next to the clock - the window pops up, select the "Setting language" item in it

In the "Languages \u200b\u200band Text Input Services" window, click on the "Create key combination" button.

In the previously open window, click "Apply" and "OK".

The usual Russian-speaking user PC change the keyboard layout in Windows 10 may be needed to switch text input from Cyrillic to the Latin and vice versa.

In rare cases, other languages \u200b\u200bare used, which can be set from two to several tens - although they will be inconvenient to switch, and the optimal amount usually does not exceed three.

To simplify the layout switching process, all Microsoft operating systems have so-called hotkeys - combinations, pressing which changes the input language.

By default, the Windows 10 system has sets such a change using SHIFT + ALT or WIN + Space.

Another option is to click the left mouse button along the language signpost (usually located at the right bottom of the screen) and the selection of the desired one.

But, if the user is more convenient to use other SHIFT + Ctrl keys or even the emphasis sign (the letter E in the Russian layout), the combination can be assigned to its discretion.

There are few ways for this, and their execution will take no more than 2-3 minutes.

Change of keyboard shortcut via control panel

The easiest way is to change the key combination in Windows 10 by clicking on the desired settings window using the control panel.

Here the "Language" icon is selected (with such a display method) or the "Change input method" item (with the form of "category").

In the window that opens, select additional parameters. After the new tabs, one of the possible actions are committed:

Setting the language to be considered the main in the list and set immediately after the PC is turned on or applications.
And, if the user constantly applies, for example, English (more often than Russian, which may be needed, for example, with frequent operation with foreign interlocutors or customers, as well as during the programming process), it should be selected by default it is it.
In other cases, the automatic Russian layout will be preferable, allowing less frequently switch languages;
Show keys to be used to quickly switch from one language to another. To do this, click on the appropriate text highlighted in blue.

The next window will show which keys are used to switch the layouts at present.

Now it follows, selecting the "Switch input language" item, click on the Schedule button below the keyboard key.

The final stage is the choice of the desired hotkeys from the proposed list. In Windows 10, as in previous versions, there are only three of them.

After saving changes, by pressing "OK", you can switch languages \u200b\u200busing a new combination suitable for the user. Sometimes the layout is also selected here.

But, since one layout is most often used, the difference is insignificant.

Changing keys on the login screen

Actions to change the keys that are responsible for input language do not help when you enter a password after loading the welcome window.

In order to solve this problem, the first item highlighted in blue is selected on the window of additional language parameters (Fig. 2).

In the next window, you will need to select the "Copy Settings" button. Although the administrator rights are needed for its presses.

Now, when logging into the system to enter the password, an automatic keyboard layout will be installed, which coincides with the default selected.
