Ctrl-shift-0

Community General Discussion

I found this question on the US forum, but since Blizzard has decided I’m not allowed to post there, being a EU-player, I figured I’ll post the solution here. This is cut and paste from a Google search.

Why is Ctrl+Shift+0 not working?

Settings > devices > typing > advanced keyboard settings > input language hot keys > advanced key settings > change key sequence, then set both “switch input language” and “switch keyboard layout” to “not assigned” to enable ctrl+shift+0.

You can post there courtesy of your EU sub, here is how:-

  1. Go on to your account and create a US starter account on your existing battle net.
  2. Log into your US account on battlenet and create a character (no sub is required)
  3. Level that character to 10 in order to be eligible to post
  4. Post on the US forums to your heart’s content!

Not only Ctrl+Shift+0 but also just Shift+0 must not be working.

This seems to be an issue because the combination Shift+Insert is one of the 2 mostly used to switch keyboard layouts in Windows (the other being Alt+Shift). When you have NumLock disabled, Numpad 0 acts as if you press Insert, so when you press Ctrl+Shift+Numpad 0, Windows acts as if you pressed Ctrl+Shift+Insert, and there it catches Shift+Insert and doesn’t transmit it to the game. The exact same reason is why you can’t bind Alt+F4 to anything.

Isn’t it CTRL+V to paste a text?

Yes but they are talking about something else.

I had to google what it does.

Ctrl+Shift alone changes keyboard layout within the language, and so does Alt+Shift between he languages - if I recall correctly. And the 0 is for changing to a particular one, isn’t it?

Of course, so does Win+Space (go through the list) and Win+Shift+Space (previously used one), so none of this is needed. Not sure why it’s still there.

But Windows re-enables them occasionally after turning them off, providing a little “helpful” message in the lower right corner that hey, by the way, you can use these keybinds! And then I have to go in there and turn it off. Again.

This is super painful at work because I use ctrl+shift all the time to write all of APL’s various symbols, such as these silly bois: ⍨⌶⍫⍒⍋⌽⍉⊖⍟⍱⍬⌹⍠⍤⌸⌷⍎⍕⍞⍣⍙⊣¢⍝ We just got some Chinese employees and they need the IME to write to each other and they are losing their minds over this.

I also had to deal with that problem there because I used to play left-handedly. My left hand was on my mouse and I moved with PLÆØ :slight_smile:
