Как поменять смену языка на shift alt windows 11 — Ваш верный помощник с OS Windows

If you’re a multilingual person and need to chat or write in several languages on your Windows 11 computer, you might want to know how to change the language keyboard shortcut. While you can always use the language button in the system tray to switch to another keyboard layout, using a keyboard language shortcut is always faster. If speed is what you’re looking for, read this guide and find out the default keyboard language shortcuts in Windows 11 and how to change them to something more comfortable:

NOTE: This tutorial was created using Windows 11 Moment 2 Update. To find out which version you have installed, read our guide on checking the Windows 11 version and edition.

What’s the default Windows 11 change language shortcut?

Before we get to the change keyboard language shortcut part, you should first know the standard shortcuts for it. Because yes, there’s not just one shortcut, but three different shortcuts for changing the keyboard language or layout:

Windows + Spacebar — switches to the next option in the list of installed keyboard languages or layouts. While this keyboard language shortcut can’t be modified in Windows 11, all the others can be changed.
Left Alt + Shift — is the standard shortcut to change the keyboard language in Windows 11. If you have multiple keyboard layouts installed for the same language, it ignores them and switches to the first one available for the next language.
Ctrl + Shift — toggles between the keyboard layouts available for the current language. Evidently, it works only if you’ve added multiple keyboard layouts for the currently selected input language.

The Windows 11 keyboard language shortcut uses the language bar

TIP: If you’d like to know more about these keyboard language shortcuts, as well as how to add new input languages or keyboard layouts, I recommend reading this guide: How to change the keyboard language on Windows 11.

How to change the keyboard language shortcuts in Windows 11

Now that we know the default keyboard language/layout shortcuts used by Windows 11, let’s see how to change them to something more to your liking:

Step 1. Get to the Advanced Key Settings

The first step is to open the Settings app: a quick way is to press Win + I on your keyboard. Then, select Time & language on the left sidebar, and click or tap Typing on the right side of the window.

To change the keyboard language shortcut go to Settings data-lazy-src=

Time & language > Typing» srcset=»https://www.digitalcitizen.life/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/keyboard_lang_shortcut-1-1.png 648w, https://www.digitalcitizen.life/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/keyboard_lang_shortcut-1-1-228×150.png 228w» loading=»lazy»>

To change the keyboard language shortcut go to Settings > Time & language > Typing

On the Typing settings page, scroll down to locate the Advanced keyboard settings entry and click or tap on it.

Access Advanced keyboard settings

This opens a new settings page called Advanced keyboard settings. At the bottom, you should see the “Input language hot keys” link. Click or tap on it.

Click or tap on Input language hot keys

An old-style window called “Text Services and Input Languages” opens, and its Advanced Key Settings tab is automatically focused. This is where you can change the keyboard language shortcuts used by Windows 11, from the “Hot keys for input languages” section that takes up most of the window.

Hot keys for input languages

Step 2. Change the default keyboard language shortcuts

As you know now, in Windows 11, the default shortcut for changing the keyboard language is Left Alt + Shift. The one that toggles the keyboard layouts is Ctrl + Shift. In most cases, these shortcuts are OK. However, if you want to use one or both of these keyboard shortcuts for other things, you need to either disable or change the hotkeys used to change the language/layout. Here’s what you need to do for that:

In the “Hot keys for input languages” section, select “Between input languages” and click or tap on the “Change Key Sequence” button at the bottom.

How to change the keyboard language shortcut

When you press the “Change Key Sequence” button, Windows 11 opens a new window bearing the same name. In it, there are two panels with alternative shortcuts for the “Switch Input Language” and “Switch Keyboard Layout” keyboard shortcuts. While you can’t specify your own keyboard shortcut for any of them, you can choose between four preset options for each.

Select Not Assigned to disable a keyboard language shortcut, or choose the Grave Accent (`) to change the language or layout with just one key. When you’re done, click or tap on OK.

Select the language change shortcut key and press OK

NOTE: You can’t assign the same keyboard shortcut for switching the input language and the keyboard layout.

Pressing OK brings you back to the “Advanced Key Settings” tab of the “Text Services and Input Languages” window. Click or tap OK or Apply to save the new settings.

Change the language keyboard shortcut and press OK or Apply

Starting now, you can use the new shortcut(s) you’ve set in order to change the keyboard language and layout.

Bonus step: Set a keyboard shortcut for enabling a specific keyboard input language

If you’re using multiple languages while typing or you like working with several different keyboard layouts, switching between them with the standard keyboard shortcuts can quickly become time-consuming. Fortunately, Windows 11 also allows you to set hotkeys for switching to specific languages or layouts previously added.

In the “Text Services and Input Languages” window, select any layout from the “Hot keys for input languages” list and click or tap on “Change Key Sequence.”

Select a layout and press Change Key Sequence

In the window that shows up, check the “Enable Key Sequence” box.

Check Enable Key Sequence to set a language keyboard shortcut

Then, use the two dropdown menus to set the keyboard shortcut you prefer:

Choose Ctrl, Ctrl + Shift, or Left Alt + Shift in the left menu to select the first key sequence
Choose one of the numbers from 0 to 9, the Tilde (~), or the Grave Accent (`) in the second list to select the second part of the keyboard shortcut.

Once you’ve decided on the keyboard language shortcut you want, click or tap on OK.

Set a keyboard shortcut to change the language to the one you use more

Confirm your choice once more by clicking/tapping OK or Apply.

Confirm your choice to use the new keyboard language shortcut

From now on, every time you use the new keyboard shortcut, the language assigned to it is instantly enabled.

TIP: If you’ll want to disable such a custom shortcut later on, follow the same steps and uncheck the “Enable key sequence” box in the “Change Key Sequence” window.

Why did you change the keyboard language shortcut?

In my case, it’s simple: I type a lot each day, and I usually write in two languages: English and Romanian. Thus, I want to be able to quickly change the keyboard layout and input language. What about you? Why did you want to change your keyboard language shortcut? Moreover, what languages are you using for typing on your computer? Let me know in the comments section below.

When Alt + Shift is not changing the language on Windows 11, you can use Win + Spacebar for the same effect. Also, make sure to use the Left Alt + Shift not the ones from the right of your keyboard.

Why is Alt + Shift not working to change language?

You don’t have more languages to choose from.
The input language hotkeys have been changed.
A bug in the latest Windows Update prevents you from changing the keyboard language. Uninstall the latest update to fix this issue.
You are in an active window of an app that is using the same hotkeys for another action.

How do you change the language on Windows 11 with Alt Shift?

1. Use the correct sequence of key presses

First of all, make sure you are using the correct method of using the Alt + Shift combination. Press and hold the Left Alt key, then press the Left Shift key. It won’t work with the Right Alt and Right Shift.

If you look at the keyboard language selection, that will be changed, but only if you have other languages available.

Now, if you release the Shift key and keep the Alt key pressed, you will also see the pop-up prompt showing you the change, and pressing the Shift key while still keeping Alt pressed will continue to switch between them.

If you press both left Alt and left Shift together and release them at the same time, the language will change, but you won’t see the prompt on the screen.

2. Set Alt + Shift as the input language hotkeys

Click the Start button and select Settings.
Go to Time & language on the left pane and click on Typing from the right.

Now, select Advanced keyboard settings.

Картинка с сайта: windowsreport.com
In the next window, choose Input language hot keys.

Картинка с сайта: windowsreport.com
Make sure that the Left Alt + Shift is the hotkey. If not, click on Change Key Sequence and select if from the list of options.

Картинка с сайта: windowsreport.com
You will also notice that you may also change the keyboard layout with the Ctrl + Shift key combination.

Please note that the input language is not the same as the keyboard layout. While the input language changes the language you’re using while typing, the keyboard layout will remap the keys on the keyboard to match the standard layout of the keys for a language.

The reason you can’t change the keyboard language in Windows 11 might be just because you can’t see the change. If the keyboard language bar is hidden or transparent when inactive, you might simply not notice it.

If that’s not the case, we also have a dedicated guide on what to do if the language bar is missing on Windows 11.

Other methods to change the language on Windows 11

On Windows 11, you can also change the language by using the Win + Spacebar hotkey.
Another way is to simply click on the language bar and select the language from the available options.
You may also activate the on-screen keyboard and click the language option from the bottom-right corner of the virtual keyboard to change it.

Now that you know how to change on-screen keyboard language on Windows 11, you might also be interested in the most useful shortcuts on the latest OS.

Here we conclude our guide on what to do if Alt + Shift is not changing the language on Windows 11 and we hope that now everything returned to normal.

If you still can’t change the display language, you should consider the possibility that one of the Alt or Shift keys is stuck or malfunctioning.

One last advice is to minimize all the apps that are opened on the screen and try the Alt + Shift combination. An active app may circumvent the shortcut for another action with the same hotkey.

Before you go, don’t miss our guide on Alt F4 not working, since it can provide you with more potential solutions.

Step 2: Then click Settings on the prompted menu.

Step 3: Go to the Time & language tab and then select Typing from the right side of the window.

Step 4: Hit the Advanced keyboard settings option.

Step 5: In the elevated window, uncheck the Hidden and Show the Language bar as transparent when inactive boxes.

Solution 2: Configure Alt + Shift as the Input Language Hotkeys

Alt + Shift doesn’t change language if this keyboard combination is not configured as the input language hotkeys. Therefore, an available way to resolve Alt + Shift not changing language is to set the keyboard shortcut as the input language hotkey. Here’s the full guide for you.

Tips:

If Alt + Shift to change language no longer working, try using an alternative keyboard shortcut (like Ctrl + Shift ) to switch languages.

Step 1: Open the Settings app on your computer.

Step 2: Navigate to the Time & Language tab in the left pane of the Settings app. Then tap the Typing option on the right side of the window.

Solution 3: Check Issues and Glitches

When Alt + Shift doesn’t change language, check if the startup that includes the parameter that is responsible for switching language is turned on and check if there are glitches in the Registry.

Ctfmon.exe is responsible for switching the input language in the system. If this utility doesn’t start automatically for some reason, manually turn it on and then check if the issue is solved. To do that, navigate to the System32 folder which can be found in the system drive in the Windows folder, and then activate the utility.

If this works but the issue occurs again after a restart, it means that the utility doesn’t turn on automatically after reloading. In this case, head to the / Users / User Name / AppDate / Roaming / Microsoft / Windows / Main Menu / Programs / Startup folder on the system drive and add a shortcut for the ctfmon.exe utility. After that, reboot your PC and check if you can switch languages successfully.
