Edit: solved. Windows needs rebooting when installing a new keyboard layout.
Hello there,
Maybe you guys can help me with this issue, having more experience than me.
I set up the engram-es windows keyboard layout in the Layout Creator, generated the dlls and installed using "setup.exe".
After installing it, it shows in the list of keyboards:
I can't seem to set it as the current kb, and even if I remove the QWERTY from this list, it still remains as the current keyboard.
I tried installing a couple more keyboards to test switching between them (Win + space switches keyboards on the fly):
And when I hit Win + space, I see a list of kbs on the right side of the screen, but engram-es is not there:
Of course I have done something wrong somewhere, but I have validated the layout in MS KLC and it only gave 2 warnings about duplicate keys ( ` and ^ ), no errors. So I'm left wondering what might be wrong.
Edit: somehow, at some moment in time, I've managed to switch to engram-es (with other 4 kbs installed) but I switched back to one of the others with win+space, and haven't been able to go back. That means engram-es is installed, but somehow is not displayed.
Edit 2: if I switch the keyboard in this panel, it seems to work:
It still doesn't show up in the win+space list.
OK @NickG13 gave me the answer. Windows happens to need rebooting when changing something slighly more complex than the wallpaper.
Nice owner of a windows engram-es layout now:
