Set Windows 8 to per-application input language mode
In Windows XP, Vista, 7 whenever one was using sevaral input languages, switching between applications would default input language for an application to defalut language.
For example when I have opened MS Word and switched input to type in Russian, switching to Command Prompt application would automatically set the input language to English (default). When I was going back to MS Word, language automatically was turning back to Russian as I left off.
So it was like a per-application input setting.
In Windows 8 an input language switch affects an enitre OS input. So if I want to type in a command in CMD, I have to manually switch to English.
How can I have Windows 8 to behave the way Windows 7 did with respect to input language switching?
- Open control panel
- Switch to all items view
- Click language
- In the left hand side panel choose advanced settings
- Check the box under switching inputs that says "Let me set a different input method for each app Windows"
