Hi,
I notice quite often that my german keyboard-layout in mintty gets
changed
into an english one. Alt-F8 (Reset) does not bring back the german
layout,
so I can only exit and restart mintty. I think it mostly happens when
doing
Copy/Paste-operations using Ctrl-Ins/Shift-Ins but I'm not sure about
this.
Is there a way to avoid this or to reset the layout back to german?
I'm using mintty 1.0.3 on cygwin 1.7.13.
I'd suspect a system-wide shortcut for switching keyboard layout.
Those are well hidden in the Control Panel, under 'Region and
Languages -> Keyboard and Languages -> Change Keyboard -> Advanced Key
Settings' (on an English Windows 7). Looks like the default shortcut
for switching between input languages is 'Left Alt + Shift', which
might collide with shortcuts in terminal applications.
True - it was set this way. I've deactivated it now and will see if it
helps. Maybe I switched accidentally when doing Copy/Paste.
