Windows 11 - How to set Alt-Right+shift to the Hebrew keyboard?

Question

Once, and I don't remember in what version it was changed, Left-Alt+Shift changed the keyboard to English and Right-Alt+Shift changed the keyboard to Hebrew.

Now in Windows 11 22H2 (build 22621.1413) this setting is gone and I cannot change the settings.

In the screenshot you can see that I can only set Left-Alt+Shift but not Right-Alt.

Do you know of a way I can assign Right-Alt + Shift to a keyboard language?

Thanks!

Answer 1

The option to use AltRight Shift[number] is also missing from Windows 10, 21H2. BTW, note that it's not simply AltRight Shift, but requires another character, e.g., number zero, in your screen shot.

However, use a third-party tool, such as AutoHotKey or Clavier+, to capture that key combination and call a PowerShell or CMD script to change the active keyboard layout to Hebrew,

Set-WinUserLanguageList -LanguageList he-IL -Force

and

Set-WinUserLanguageList -LanguageList en-US -Force

to set it to English (US).

The -Force argument avoids having the dialog on screen.

BTW, I find the built-in keyboard shortcut WindowsSpace more convenient; each time it's pressed, it cycles through the list of available keyboards, with a popup to remind which is active. On the one hand, it's not specific, but with only two layouts, it's sufficient.

Reporting that I have updated Windows to build 22621.1555 and now Alt Gr + Right Shift changes the keyboard to Hebrew without me doing anything else. It was probably a bug.
