SUGG: Bring back F2 (or equiv) for keyboard switching - Messes with other s\w

OK this isn't going to affect everyone, but I have had to uninstall the Logos Greek keyboard because the <Alt+Shift> shortcut messes with other software e.g. Adobe Illustrator CS5. Alt+Shift is a common combination in Illustrator and other packages which make heavy use of modifier keys, and it when Greek kbd is active, Illustrator's keyboard shortcuts disappear until the English kbd is restored.

A simple F2 or equivalent, as per L3 would be much better.

Thanks
Richard

You shouldn't have to unintall keyboards you don't want to have active. Can't you just click on the keyboard icon in the lower right of your screen and choose a different keyboard from the menu to quickly switch keyboards?

The Regional and Language Options control panel gives you some flexibility in changing the key sequence:

The default can be changed to Ctrl+Shift instead of Alt+Shift. Plus you can assign a key sequence to each specific keyboard.

Unfortunately, all available Windows keybd. switcher shortcuts are modifier key combinations which are commonly used in illustrator - Ctrl-Shift is as common as Alt-Shift.

Maybe I should have rebooted, but until I uninstalled the keyboard, I was still getting the blocking of shortcuts even after I'd deactivated the keyboard combiation to switch keyboards.
