Microsoft Win 8 RP input method switching skills

If it is not better, do not easily try to change the user's usage habits.

It is well known that before the win8, the Chinese user input method switching mode has been:

EN is the default; then use Ctrl Space to switch EN-Chinese main input method; use Ctrl Shift to cycle all Input.

One of the advancements of Win8 is that it can set the main input language. The default is not EN, but a Chinese input method.

But the problem is that in the input method advanced options, "Allow me to set a different input method for each application window", Win8's loop switching input method operation: Win key Space is invalid. Why? If the default is EN, enter the Chinese keyword in the browser search bar. At this time, press the Win button, the focus will return to the desktop from the browser search box, and the input method will automatically switch to EN. Therefore, use the Win key to switch. Valid for the desktop and not valid for browser input.

It should be said that this "innovation" is quite awkward. But Win8 also has a shortcut similar to the previous Windows version of the switch EN-Chinese main input method: Alt Shift, which is equivalent to Ctrl Shift before Win8. If the author uses the QQ input method, in the setting of the QQ input method, Win8 comes with "Microsoft input method is simple", the default use EN knock code, when using Chinese input, use Alt Shift to switch QQ input method, in In the case of a large number of Chinese input, if you need to input English, use Crtl Space to input EN. Note that you have not switched to the EN keyboard at this time, but input English in the state of QQ input method.

Another pretty solution is to set the QQ input method (or other Chinese input method you want to use) as the main input method, and then enter the input method into English by default (such as QQ input method, attribute). -> Initial setting -> Basic status -> Initial -> Language, select English), press Shift when you need to input Chinese. The downside is that if you need to use WASD as the arrow keys in the game, if you don't switch back to the EN keyboard, the game will get stuck.

If you insist on using Win Space to switch input methods, you can remove the option to allow me to set the unused input method for each application window in the advanced settings of the input method. This input method of the Win95 era is experienced.
