Switching keyboard language also switches mac input language

Hi,

I'm not sure when it started but it was recent. Now with Windows 8.1, whenever I switch keyboard languages (like English to French) with alt-shift, it changes my mac keyboard language. If I switch back to English, French remains in OS X. It'd be preferable to not switch at all.

 

Same problem here.

Does anyone has solution????

 

Hello ZeevM,

I found this long ago in another forum thread. In your config.pvs for each VM, change:

<KeyboardLayoutSync dyn_lists="">
<Enabled>0</Enabled>

Being easier to find, the default setting, or an option in the GUI would help a lot.

 

Hi Gary, thank you very much!!
I'll look for other configurations on this file, maybe I can find more useful stuff.

 

Thank you for sharing this information.

 

Please refer this steps to disable keyboard layout synchronisation between Mac and Windows virtual machine as @gary mentioned.
