I have installed Russian - Mnemonic Basic from Keyman Configuration on Windows 10. I have rebooted the OS and switched to Russian - Mnemonic Basic.
When I type in a file explorer, the Russian letters are typed. But in the browser or in the Windows’ search field English letters are typed, except for AltGr+8 which inputs Russian ruble ₽.
I change the input language to Russian - Mnemonic Basic by Alt+Shift+R. I tried also to change by Win+Space or left Alt+Shift, but the issue still exists.
What is the proper way to change the input source to not interfere with Windows’ input languages?
Should the Windows language bar appear on the taskbar beside the Keyman icon?
Keyman’s hotkey setting and Windows’ language bar option do not have anything to do with how characters are output when using the keyboard.
Can you try and send a diagnostic report to us following the instructions here? I don’t have high hope though that this issue can be fixed as it cannot be reproduced on my side.
But I can share the log files from %localappdata%\keyman\diag.
During the debugging, I closed all applications, started the Keyman, changed the input language to Russian - Mnemonic Basic by clicking on the Keyman icon and selecting it then opened the Chrome browser and typed in the address bar. The letters were English instead of Russian, but the symbols accessed by AltGr were as expected (e.g. AltGr + 8).
Okay, I’ve looked at the log. Keyman is working and there’s no issue with certificates or anything like that. The log reflects the symptoms you describe – I can see the translation of AltGr+8 but unmodified keystrokes are not being sent by Windows through Keyman, but direct to the app.
Can you check your keyboard settings in Windows? Do you have any of these options on?
Glad this fixed the problem for you! This is something we may try and see if we or Microsoft can resolve – text predictions should not be interfering with Keyman in this way But it may take some time…
