That's great news! Thanks so much for your work and the software itself, happy to use it! 73s Kevin

@iz1fks I've made a dirty workaround for this on my end: In windows' localization settings, I've added the german (or in your case italian) keyboard layout to the english localization (for windows 7 it should kinda look like this: https://thetypingcat.com/howto/change-your-keyboard-layout-win7 but of course you will add italian instead of dvorak) and removed the US keyboard layout out of it. So now, even though windows will switch to the english localization, it still uses my german keyboard layout. It's a bit dirty and of course it would be nicer if the programm wouldn't do it in the first place but for now it works for me.

@irad d Thanks for checking it out! I've just recorded a quick and dirty video of this behaviour, so it's better visible what happens: https://youtu.be/G9R4veXanQc (it's not publicly listed, just for the sake of showing it here). Take a look at the localization setting next to the clock in the taskbar as it changes everytime, VarAC get's the focus. Most likely, this really is Phil's problem as well. Whenever the localization changes from a localized keyboard to english, some key's are (virtually) placed elsewhere even though both languages have them in common (most popular is the switch between Y and Z but also all sorts of punctuation is on a different position then). @iz1fks I'm using Win10 x64, so I guess it's not about the windows version but some call that VarAC does whenever it get's focus. 73 Kevin

I have noticed that everytime I start (or switch to) VarAC, my windows keyboard scheme changes automatically to ENG (as seen in the taskbar). If I manually switch it back to my localization (German), everything is fine again. However, this happens everytime I start the programm or Alt+Tab out of it and in again, while this doesn't happen with any other programs. Is there some part of the runtime that tells Windows it prefers the english keyboard layout over any other so Windows feels obligated to switch to that?
