| Feb 27, 2017 at 17:06 | comment | added | Brane | I realise this answer is 6 years old but it's still, or especially now quite relevant. @hamstergene can you elaborate on how you managed to remove other input methods / keyboard layouts from your system? When I tried that, my keyboard stopped working in some programs altogether (even after a restart). | |

You can see this in the Chrome task manager as "Browser". | |

Another very useful symbol for e.g. rightAlt+0, is the degree symbol, °.

| Mar 29, 2014 at 7:19 | comment | added | Evgeni Sergeev | @mathijsuitmegen I've set it up this way, and for me things like Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V work as expected in all the applications that I've tried, whether CapsLock is ON or not. (Unfortunately, though, Inkscape doesn't accept Russian input directly, it might be guessing for us that CapsLock ON is equivalent to Shift down, which it's not, with this setup.) I've checked on Windows7 and Vista. | |
| Mar 5, 2013 at 11:23 | comment | added | Tass | This drives me nuts. I think it's per process, not per thread. Windows 8 has an option to set it system-wide which is great, though that's not a solution for everyone... | |
| Apr 20, 2012 at 13:02 | comment | added | mathijsuitmegen | Unfortunately Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator does not support the option 'ctrl + SGCAP + <Key>'. I work with a Dvorak layout and I couldn't get shortcuts like 'ctrl + S' (save) to work while caps lock is on. | |
| Mar 28, 2012 at 23:46 | comment | added | ADTC | "Windows maintains different input language for each thread." < The thing I don't understand is this: Google Chrome uses multiple threads YET a change in keyboard layout/language applies to the entire browser - not each tab/thread separately. I can't for the life of me understand why Microsoft didn't do the same with Internet Explorer when they went multi-threading in IE. One guy working at MS even justified this odd behavior as "the correct way an application should behave" WTF! (Apologies for the rant.) | |
