Otherwise, you might not be able to sign in. You can change your keyboard layout on the sign-in screen by tapping or clicking the language abbreviation button in the lower-right corner. Whenever you add a language, a keyboard layout or input method is added so you can enter text in the language. If you want to use a different keyboard layout or input method, you can add a new one or switch between the ones you have.
Tap or click the language you want to add a keyboard to, and then tap or click Options. Tap or click Add a keyboard , browse the input method list for the one you want to use, and then tap or click it.
You can enter text with different keyboard layouts or input methods by switching between them. There are a few different ways to switch between keyboard layouts or input methods:. On a hardware keyboard, press and hold the Windows logo key , and then press the Spacebar to cycle through your input methods. If you have a touchscreen, you can switch your touch keyboard layout by tapping or clicking the keyboard icon, and then tapping or clicking the keyboard layout you want to switch to.

Note: If you don't see the keyboard layout or input method you want, then you haven't added it to your input method list. For instructions, see the Add a keyboard layout or input method for a language section. You can change the language Windows uses to display text in wizards, dialog boxes, menus, and other items in the user interface. Some display languages are installed by default, while others require you to install additional language files. To install a language pack, follow these steps:.
If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation. Note: The Display language section will be visible only if you have already installed a Language Interface Pack or if your edition of Windows supports a language pack.
Language packs are available only in Windows 7 Ultimate and Windows 7 Enterprise. When you change the display language, the text in menus and dialog boxes for some programs might not be in the language that you want. They simply map one key on a keyboard to another or create different layouts of the standard keys. Finanlly I can change Escape button to F7 button thanks :.
I have an Indonesian computer, and I need a pound sign! I have a function key number 5. Can i assign my Function key number 5 to be a pound sign? The Control key is a cornerstone key used by Windows Hot Key sequences several dozen hundred?
Note to the wise: Never buy a laptop with a Function key where normal keys go or you will suffer through so many mistakes during the day. Had the same problem. To get to BIOS you have to press one of keys when starting up before windows starts loading. I really love it, it allows mouse movements to be easily remapped to anything. Would love a program that removes key combos such as Left Alt Tab.
Even auto hotkey is letting me down here. Also, it seems EA games override any key reassignment of the tilde key. I have found none useful so far. MS KLC — once installed it is overridden by other keyboard layout e. Korean etc. What a dismal digital dismal dark age we live in! Using PC with Win 7. Win 10 is good for many, but it is much more geared for I-Pad gadgetry stuff.
Hi All, 1. Thanks RAY for this wonderful article! Hi Friends, i have some words 1 Keytweak download is not available from here. Regards, Vineet Garg. Ashearon 2 years ago. HAL Author 2 years ago.

It doesn't matter what layout you are using, as you are just seeing which keys are being used the most.
If you want to make a good layout, you can't be afraid to go away from the norm. I'd suggest putting the top 11 keys along the home row, then the next top 11 keys as the top row leave the 2 keys above the return key as the least used keys , then the 3rd top 11 keys as the bottom row.
There should be 4 keys left over now. You have now made a great keyboard layout for your purposes! Overall, I think having a good text editor and knowing how to use it is better than trying to improve your typing speed. Being able to record and replay macros is sometimes a lifesaver, and a selection of shortcut-assigned code snippets can be handy because there's normally language-imposed limits on what can be turned into a library.
FWIW, I'm not claiming to be strong on all those. I've always been too biassed towards solving problems myself, and with too strong a tendency towards reinventing the wheel and grand architectural schemes. Anyway, I just have this suspicion that time spent changing and learning keyboard layouts would be a distraction from more important issues. Changing the keyboard layout is a bad idea since it would perhaps boost your typing speed on one keyboard, but severely damage your typing speed on other keyboards or on computers where you don't have your special keyboard layout.
I've found that it is often better to adjust yourself to the defaults, that having to change them everywhere. Personally, my fingers are heavily Emacs-biased, which causes lots of typing friction everywhere else. Stack Overflow for Teams — Collaborate and share knowledge with a private group.

Maybe it's just that I am thinking too slow - but raw typing speed is usually not my limiting factor when developing software.
If it was, I'd probably think that I'm doing something wrong. Lucero: Overall , no, but when I've finally! Once you've done all your hard thinking, sometimes there's just a lot of code grinding to do Jon: Strongly recommend making this a CW before it gets closed as subjective which, after all, it is. A good layout isn't an issue of raw performance so much as it is one of comfort—but comfort is very important to performance. It's funny how you got slammed by quite a few people, I'd suggest ignoring them.
It's not only typing speed which is a factor if you can type enough to be able to "program as you think" , ergonomy trumps that. But speed and ergonomy go together: moves that strain your hands are slow to perform, fatigue leads to errors and fixing those taxes your hands even more. Show 13 more comments. Active Oldest Votes. Oh, no, typing speed isn't a bottleneck by any means, but at the same time, why let something as silly as a keyboard get in your way?
I've had no trouble switching back and forth between my layout and others, because I use both frequently; I simply prefer mine. And I must admit, emacs makes programming fast as can be—when I don't have to look up a key sequence.
Oh, and the simultaneity of left and right hand movements also doesn't make a difference: the modifier still has to be depressed before the key is struck. A difference of milliseconds, surely, but again, why hinder yourself? Programming with a layout that doesn't work for you is like programming on a sticky keyboard.
