The Keyman Language Switcher is a single popup menu to let you rapidly
|
|
switch between any installed Keyman keyboard, Windows language or
|
|
Windows layout.

## Opening and Using the Language Switcher
|
|
|
|
To open and use the Keyman Language Switcher
|
|
|
|

|
|
(Left.Alt + Shift) or another hotkey with Alt, you will need to
|
|
press and HOLD the Alt part of the hotkey and press and RELEASE the
|
|

|
|
release Alt, the Language Switcher will close.

|
|
|
**Note:** By default, the Language Switcher hotkey is Left.Alt + Shift. You
|
|
can view or change the current Language Switcher hotkey from the
|
|
[Hotkeys tab](config/hotkeys) of Keyman Configuration.
|
|
|
|
|
|

2. Navigate the Language Switcher using the arrow keys or by pressing
|
|
Shift to select your Keyman keyboard.

|
|
|
3. Release the Language Switcher hotkey or press Enter to activate the
|
|
selected keyboard and close the Language Switcher. You will notice
|
|
the Keyman menu icon change to the icon of your Keyman keyboard.
