What to do if Punto Switcher doesn't work? We have collected all possible problems that arise when the program operates in different environments, the occurrence of conflicts, their causes and possible user actions.

Problems and errors may occur when working with the Punto Switcher keylogger.

Let's start with the most common complaint that the Switcher does not switch layouts.

Absence

The lack of switching (or the first letter not being corrected) can occur due to the installation of switches such as “Switch It!” on the PC. or RusLat.

Incorrect

May appear when other languages ​​(besides Russian and English) are used in the system. Enabling the auto-switching option in “Troubleshooting” “Settings” only between them will eliminate unexpected jumping of the indicator when using a third language.

Unexpected when editing a word

To prevent this switching from happening, you need to enable “Cursor keys” in “Settings” - “Troubleshooting”. Then, when correcting a word when using these keys, there will be no switching (however, when moving the cursor with the mouse, it will remain).

Hotkeys not working

Occurs when input (added by the user) conflicts with system or combinations used in other programs. The problem can be avoided if you assign hot keys to a combination of Win, Ctrl, Shift or Alt.

Correction of entered abbreviations

Turn off the Correct Abbreviations tool in Advanced General Settings.

Conversion

May be missing in utilities that do not support copying and pasting using known keys using Ctrl, C and V.

Incorrect use

Other applications

Possible (especially when using Telegram, IntelliJ IDEA, WhatsApp, Synergy, PhpStorm, QIP and others), since initially there was no such calculation. However, the developers claim that they are working in this direction.
