After an unknown config change, CTRL + ALT + [LETTER]
has started producing common accented versions of [LETTER]
. I'm not a big fan of this arrangement, seeing as I've memorized all my favourite ALT + [NUMPAD SEQUENCE]
references and was used to using CTRL + ALT + [LETTER]
for various other application-specific commands in my text editor.
The prominent result from my searching suggests that this has something to do with a switch to an 'international keyboard', and says this can be removed in the control panel or toggled by hitting ALT + SHIFT
, but I can't get my system to confirm this, and the solutions (or close approximations thereof) don't work.
Specifically, I've been to Control Panel\Clock, Language, and Region\Language\Advanced settings
and switched the override for default input method from 'language list' to English and I've been to Control Panel\Clock, Language, and Region\Language\Language options
and made sure that I only have my one input method (UK). Other than that I'm not quite sure where to look. Any ideas?
