Windows 10 is about to change the keyboard layout easily with Keyboard Shortcut Manager

As you know, Windows 10 allows users to rearrange the keyboard layout through a few registry adjustments, but the intervention in the Registry is not simple and not everyone can do it. The reason why there's a third-party 'software market' like SharpKeys simplifies key layout management.

However, with the re-launch of the PowerToys freeware system toolkit, Microsoft is trying to create powerful user support features, and is especially easy to use, from launching the program. come for a faster search experience, and soon to be keyboard management.

The Microsoft PowerToys development team recently revealed information that it is testing a new Keyboard Manager tool that allows users to easily rearrange keystrokes without having to intervene in the editor. Registry or use third party tools again.

'For developers and some professional users, the convenient use of the keyboard will play a huge role affecting labor productivity as well as work efficiency. The ability to rearrange keystrokes in a more convenient, intuitive way can help users save significant time and work more easily. '

This under-developed keyboard manager, called Keyboard Shortcut Manager, can be used to configure keypress on computers with either a built-in keyboard (laptop) or an attached keyboard, which supports rearranging of layouts. keys at the operating system level and provide a new UI experience.

Microsoft is currently considering developing the following features:

1. Disable existing operating system level shortcuts. For example: Windows key + C.
2. Operating system-level shortcuts take precedence over applications that come with keyboard shortcuts. For example, Alt + Enter will trigger the action of the operating system, not the specific action of the application that is launching.
3. Winkey keyboard shortcuts take precedence over application-specific shortcuts.

This tool will allow Windows 10 to interpret the keystrokes you have set up.

Microsoft says the Keyboard Shortcut Manager will only require a reboot when needed, meaning that you won't need to reboot the system after each customization. In addition features that support application-level shortcut editing are also under consideration.

Microsoft has yet to say when the Keyboard Shortcut Manager will be released.
