Suggestion to auto-disable win+space hotkeys after a fresh installation if Win10/11 using multiple keyboard layouts.

Dear Fences developers

 

I currently use Chinese language that need Input Method Editor (aka IME,https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Input_method) in Windows 10/11.

I find that after a fresh installation of Fences 4 on Windows 10/11, the default hotkeys win + space of changing keyboard layout, which are needed to quick-switch between English and Chinese IMEs, conflict with Show Fences hotkeys. Not really a problem to PC user since 1999 like me. But for PC newbies, it may cause confusion.

My suggestion is that as long as (a fresh) installation program detects multiple keyboard layouts, Show Fences hotkeys be disabled automatically. My experience may apply to other East Asian languages like Japanese or Korean, since they also rely on IMEs.

 

EDIT: There may be other approaches to solve this small issue. Got a prompt stating hotkey conflict? Change win + space hotkeys to alternative combination?

 

 

Thanks!
