Remarks

Changing the keyboard

ChangeKeyboard is immediately taken into account. The keyboard language can be changed while typing.
ChangeKeyboard can only be used if the keyboard is installed on the current computer.

Keyboard used by default

If several keyboards corresponding to the same language are installed on the current computer and if <Sub-language> is not specified (Algerian and Egyptian for Arabic for example), WINDEV is using the first keyboard found.
