Layout switching does not always occur or the first letter is not corrected
If you have other language switchers installed (for example, "RusLat" or "Switch It!"), this problem may occur due to a program conflict. Report it via .
Layout switches unexpectedly when editing a word
This is because the program treats the characters you added by moving the cursor as a new word.
So that when correcting a word, the layout does not switch, in the menu Settings → Troubleshooting enable the "cursor keys" (arrow keys) options. Now, when you correct a word using these keys, the layout will not switch.
Note. If you move the cursor with the mouse, the program will interpret the correction as a new word and the layout may switch.
Some keys do not work or work incorrectly
Perhaps, when setting up keys, there was a conflict with system hot keys or with keyboard shortcuts in other programs. Check the hotkey settings in the menu Settings. Problems can be avoided by assigning hotkeys in combination with service keys as hotkeys: ctrl, alt, Shift or Windows.
Punto Switcher often fixes the abbreviations you use
Try to make an abbreviation in the dictionary (menu Settings → Switching rules) and send to developers.
You can also turn off the option Fix abbreviations on the menu Settings → General → Advanced.
Incorrect auto-switching when typing words in Russian or English
Perhaps the reason is that you use layouts for other languages besides Russian and English.
Go to menu Settings → Troubleshooting and enable the option Auto-switch only between Russian and English layout- then Punto Switcher will only switch between these two languages. Or turn on the option - Punto Switcher will track text input only in the two main languages for it.
Punto Switcher doesn't always switch layouts correctly when there are other languages in the system
Punto Switcher can correctly switch the layout between Russian and English. If, when correcting the layout, the language switches to the third language set in the layout, or when typing in a third language, the layout switches to another language, do the following:
Go to Settings Punto Switcher.
In chapter Troubleshooting enable options Consider input only in Russian and English layouts And Auto-switch between Russian and English layout.
The program does not work correctly in some applications
Initially, Punto Switcher was not designed for use in console applications, so there may be problems when working with them. There may also be problems when working with programs such as Telegram, WhatsApp, IntelliJ IDEA, PhpStorm, Synergy, QIP, Miranda, AutoCad.
We are constantly improving Punto Switcher. Problems caused by the operation of programs that we are not directly involved in the development of, require some time.
Selected text conversion does not work in some programs
Text conversion may not work in programs that do not support copying to the clipboard via ctrl + C and insert by ctrl + V. If possible, set up the program you are using to work with these key combinations.
Unstable operation of Punto Switcher with MS Office applications
You may have enabled the option to fix the layout from MS Office, which interferes with the work of Punto Switcher.
To disable this option, do the following:
MS Word 2010
Open MS Word 2010.
Go to the tab File (file) → Options (Options) → Additionally (Advanced).
In chapter Edit Options (Word Options) disable the option Automatically switch keyboard layout according to the language of the surrounding text (Automatically switch keyboard to match language of surrounding text).
Click OK.
MS Outlook 2010
Open MS Outlook 2010.
Go to the tab File (file) → Options (Options) → Mail (mail format).
Punto Switcher does not work in a program running as administrator (on Windows 8 and 10)
IN Windows system 8 and 10 programs launched without administrator rights may not work properly with programs launched with administrator rights. By default, Punto Switcher starts without administrator rights.
To avoid this, launch Punto Switcher by enabling the option Run with administrator rights(on the menu Settings → General).
Problems when working with Microsoft Word 2016
A conflict between Punto Switcher and other programs may arise due to a mismatch of algorithms when working with the keyboard.
If you have a combination assigned to switch keyboard layouts ctrl + Shift, try replacing it with alt + Shift. If the problem persists, please report it via .
Problems with AutoText in WinWord
Go to menu Settings → Troubleshooting and enable the option Do not switch layout using the "Tab" and "Enter" keys.
This is not only an automatic keyboard layout switcher, but also your secret agent and indispensable assistant!
In this article I will tell you and show you all the hidden potential of this small, wonderful, and free program. Of course, this is not a rare program, and 75% of PC users actively use it. However, 60% of them use this program only as an automatic switch, from Russian to English and vice versa. This is her original purpose.
I’ll tell you right away how this auto-switching works: Let’s say you sit and write some kind of scientific work, and rarely look at the monitor, and after a while, glancing at the work done, you suddenly discover with horror that more than half of the text you have typed some kind of abra-kadabra.
