On windows 11, I am unable to use the korean / english key toggle to switch input languages. I have setup the machine to be able to switch between Korean and English, but none of the hotkeys work to switch between language input. I bought the Korean keyboard specifically to do this but unfortunately none of the hotkeys seem to function. I can toggle it manually by clicking, but otherwise nothing in windows 11 seems to allow me switch between the inputs. I can switch between Language and keyboard inputs, but not between the input for a specific language. The right alt key should default to this, but on the framework it does not.
I have even tried using things like windows power tools and autohotkey but cannot get it to toggle the language.
Any insight or help would be appreciated on how to solve this problem.
In order to narrow down where the issue is, I’d suggest trying a USB keyboard, just for troubleshooting your settings. Check if your setup works from USB keyboard. I don’t think it will. And that tells you it’s not the Framework keyboard or the Framework laptop, but something in windows at fault, or just something missing in the setup.
Keyboards don’t actually send letters or keys like right-alt. Rather they send keycodes, and it’s the OS which decides how it will interpret the key. Keys A, B, C, are not ABC until and unless the OS decides they are. Right-alt is not right-alt unless the OS decides. I know some layouts use the key as alt-gr instead. That’s how keyboard languages are changed. The OS just makes the same keycode, output something different.
So that is one thing to check, that windows is interpreting it as right-alt. I don’t use windows though so I can’t help with programs to show the actual key output, or the raw keycodes.
