Keyboard Left Alt + Shift XBOX Series X

sn0u| · Jun 8, 2023

Hello i own a XBOX Series X, i use also Logitech G Pro keyboard and Mouse, when im typing i want to change between two languages, but the most known global hotkey to do that suddenly Microsoft forgot to add it as an option at settings. I would like to add second language and make keyboard recognize it by switch with Left Alt + Shift.

Is that possible if technical guys read it and fix it?

I understand but this does not prevent the technicians if they are notified of this problem to put it in the next update. It will just make things better for many users.

Hello there!

My name is Jonny and I will be assisting you today!

First, thank you so much for contacting us regarding your inquiry/ concern.

I do look forward to resolving this problem together!

If a certain feature isn't supported, it sadly isn't something that can be added based on request as it would require a worldwide update.

The shift button allows you to assign a secondary set of mappings to controls.

So, for example, in your screenshot the lower-left paddle is mapped to LS, however, if you hold in shift and press the lower-left paddle, it's then mapped to X instead of LS. That allows you to do 2 different actions with the same paddle, depending on whether you have shift held in or not.

Think of it like your computer keyboard. If you press the 7 key by itself you just get the number 7. If you hold down shift and press it, you get the & symbol instead. 2 different characters are mapped to the same key, and which one you get depends on if you're pressing shift or not.

Hi. My name is Mel and I am an independent advisor. If your computer is beeping at you whenever you press Shift / Control / Alt / Windows Key, you may have enabled Sticky keys. (By default, this will turn on when the shift key has been pressed 5 times in a row). To turn this off, open up Windows settings, the easiest way to do this is by click on the Windows icon at the bottom left and then click on "Settings." Then click on "Ease of Access" to take you to the Accessibility settings. Scroll down the menu on the left side until you reach "Keyboard" and click on that. From there, look for the section on "Sticky Keys." Make sure that the slider is turned off (it is also a good idea to disable the shortcut by unchecking the box "Allow the shortcut key to start Sticky Keys" as this will prevent this from being turned on in the future.)
This should stop your keyboard from behaving strangely. Hope this helps and have a lovely day
