I've always had problems with my keyboard changing from French to English-Armando (November 10, 2007, 08:02 PM)

Many years ago, I got used to the US International keyboard layout. More double-keystoke characters, but it is so complete and matches perfectly with the keycaps. I use it for whatever language I write in (of course, I don't write in Chinease, only in French, English and German)

Lanux, thank you for your hint...

I copied from the source of your app and changed this way:

#InstallKeybdHook
ifWinActive, ahk_class Photoshop
{

è::
SetLayout( 00000409 )
Send, [
SetLayout( 00000410 )
Return

+::
SetLayout( 00000409 )
Send, ]
SetLayout( 00000410 )
Return

}

SetLayout(Locale) {
  DllCall("LoadKeyboardLayout", Str, %Locale%, UInt, 257)
}

Now Photoshop looks like it understands the command, but it does not revert to italian layout after Send command (i love being able to write text with correct keys, you know)... what should I check?

Thank you!

try adding a '$' before the hotkey like the code below. i also changed the IfWinActive directive to be controlled by the keystroke instead of the other way around. let me know if this works.. :)
