LangSwitch (AutoHotkey v2)

Direct, non-cycling keyboard layout switching on Windows using custom hotkeys:

• Shift+Alt+W → English (US)
• Shift+Alt+E → German (Germany)
• Shift+Alt+S → Russian (Russia)
• Shift+Alt+D → Ukrainian (Ukraine)

The script sends WM_INPUTLANGCHANGEREQUEST to the focused window and includes safe fallbacks for common edge cases.

• Windows 11/10
• AutoHotkey v2.0+
• The target input layouts!!! installed in Windows (EN-US, DE, RU, UKR)

1. Install AutoHotkey v2.
2. Clone/download this repo.
3. Double-click LangSwitch.ahk to run.
4. Optional: add to auto-start.

• Press the hotkeys above to switch directly to the desired layout without cycling through others.
• To avoid conflicts, disable Windows’ default language hotkeys (Alt+Shift, Ctrl+Shift, Win+Space...) in: Settings → Time & language → Typing → Advanced keyboard settings → Input language hot keys.

• For elevated/system windows, run the script "as Administrator" to avoid access restrictions.
• When no window has focus, Windows won’t switch the input for existing windows; the script sets the default input for new threads as a partial fallback.
• Close AutoHotkey before launching games with aggressive anti-cheat to avoid false positives.
