Will try that one, too, thank you. Yes, keymapper is quite flexible until you get into OEM (3-byte) key codes. > Also, Windows has the builtin Win+Space combination for switching > keyboards, but I expect you've tried that. My fingers are quite old and don't want to bend like that. -- With best regards, Andrey Repin Wednesday, July 13, 2022 09:45:53 Sorry for my terrible english... -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
