Disable [Windows]+[Space] hotkey in Windows 8 [duplicate]
this might be considered a duplicate of my previous question: Disable [Windows]+[Space] hotkey in Windows 8
However my problem is more about getting rid of 2 settings, that should be removed, while they stay on keyboard layout selection indicator when I press [WIN]
+[SPACE]
. If I have ony one language set, accidentally pressing [WIN]
+[SPACE]
won't be a problem anymore.
I have only one language on languages list:
However I have 3 options when pressing [WIN]
+[SPACE]
or clicking input indicator
icon in notification area
.
There are Languages, and then there are Input Methods.
If you only have one language installed, but more than one input method, then Win+Space lets you toggle between input methods.
To get rid of extra Input Methods:
In the Languages Control Panel applet, click "Options" next to the installed language.
Remove
any extra 'Input Methods'.
I could not follow these steps because I've had just one language and input method.
But Windows was still showing two language options in notification area.
Then I added the language that was appearing unduly and then removed it again.
That solved the problem.
I found a way without removing it from registry. I had to
- Add all languages you have on
input indicator
(herePOL
) - Go to main (default; the only one I want to have left) language Options, and add all keyboard layouts I have on the
input indicator
(hereUS keyboard
). - Save changes and make sure main language and keyboard layout are currently set.
- Remove keyboard layouts and languages added a moment ago.
