I've written an AutoHotKey script which changes keyboard layout by pressing CapsLock.
Pressing CapsLock simply emulates "LeftAlt down + Left Shift + LeftAlt Up" combination.
It's obvious, that my program won't work if Control+Shift is set to keyboard layout change method.
I've tried searching over registry, but there's no useful information in HKLM/System/CurrentControlSet/Control/Keyboard Layout(s).
So, is it possible somehow to find out user's method to change layout?
Answer
The information you're looking for is stored in the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Keyboard Layout\Toggle
The key sequence is determined by the Layout Hotkey
value:
1 = Left Alt + Shift
2 = Ctrl + Shift
3 = Not assigned
4 = Grave accent
When the value is missing, that means the default setting is being used (i.e. Ctrl + Shift).
