Hi Andrey, I'm starting to feel a bit guilty about wasting bandwidth on the Cygwin mailing list because my initial question was answered by other posters and the problem has, as a practical matter, been solved.
That's not to say I understand all aspects of the interaction between Windows 10 keyboard layouts, the X Server, and xterm windows. To answer your questions: > Why? Do you need the INTL one? If not, just remove it. Yes, I agree. I did remove ENG INTL following Microsoft's documented procedure. (Settings > Time & Language > Region & Language, select ENG INTL, click Remove.) This appeared to work -- ENG INTL no longer shows up in the Region & Language dialog. However, it remains one of the choices I can toggle through using <Windows Key>+space. So... presumably I don''t yet know how to actually remove it. > That makes little sense to me. > What if I have more than one input language? What if I actually NEED both > layouts? Yes, of course, if you need more than one input language you should keep them installed. What I was trying to say in my previous post was simply that the X Server uses the layout that's in effect when you start the X Server. So if, for example, you want xterm windows to start up with "ENG US" rather than "ENG INTL", then you should select "ENG US" before starting the X Server. If you fail to do that, it seems you can switch after the fact using "setxkbmap".
