Removing a keyboard

Post by jmt356 »

I have the following two keyboards installed:
ENG INTL United States-international
ENG US US keyboard

How do I remove the second one?

When I go to settings, only the United States-International keyboard is displayed, but in the language bar on the bottom right, ENG INTL United States-international and ENG US US keyboard are displayed, so I am obviously having troubling removing the latter.

I would rather avoid tampering with the registry.

It appears my keyboard is switching between the English US keyboard and the English International keyboard whenever I press control + shift, which is particularly inconvenient because I use those keys + the arrow keys when selecting text. Is it possible to disable that shortcut to switch between languages?

Alt + tab is currently my keyboard shortcut to switch between the English keyboard and foreign (non-English) keyboards. I want to keep that shortcut in place while disabling the ctrl + shift shortcut.

Thank you Hans - I was able to disable the CTRL + SHIFT shortcut by following these steps:
Advanced keyboard settings (you can find it with Start search or with Windows Settings search), choose Input language hot keys, next Advanced Key Settings, then Between input languages and set Not Assigned
