I use both US and Korean IME keyboard inputs and need to switch between them regularly. I normally have US setup as "left alt + shift + 2" and Korean IME as "left alt + shift + 3". I do not like the 'toggle' shortcut, as I often accidentally toggle a two-key combo like "ctrl + shift" or "left alt + shift".

Well for some reason in Windows 7 the 'toggle' shortcuts work perfectly, but the direct shortcuts seem to only work in instances of explorer.exe... In any other program at all I can not switch to korean, although if I manually switch to korean I can switch back to US (and then am locked there, shortcut wise).

Anyone have any suggestions? It is pretty irritating and works fine in Windows XP.

Check Application Specific Settings: - Test the keyboard shortcuts in various applications to determine if the issue is widespread or limited to specific programs. - It's possible that certain programs may have conflicts with the keyboard shortcuts you have defined. 4. Testing in Safe Mode: - Boot Windows 7 into Safe Mode and test the keyboard shortcuts to check if any third-party software is causing the issue. - If the shortcuts work fine in Safe Mode, a third-party application may be interfering with the keyboard input settings. 5. Update Keyboard Drivers: - Ensure that your keyboard drivers are up to date. Check the manufacturer's website for any available driver updates that might address compatibility issues with Windows 7. 6. Run System File Checker: - Open a Command Prompt with administrative privileges and run the command sfc /scannow to check for and repair any corrupted system files that might be affecting keyboard functionality. By following these steps, you should be able to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue with your custom keyboard shortcuts in Windows 7.
