I don't like this behavior in Windoze, here is why:
I want to do something that needs Alt-Shift (like Alt-Shift-R, reading
my mail in Emacs), I press the Alt-Shift and then I regret, and wants
to do something else, but alas, the language has changed and I must
press Alt-Shift (alone !) again just to exit this unwanted change. And
as I'm not sure if I really pressed the Alt-Shift combination (no
external indicator), I must check it by typing some unneeded letters
(things are more annoying, because I may be working on a read-only
buffer or a buffer I do not want to change, so I must switch buffers
just to check).
Ehud.
