Windows use the registry to adjust the order of input methods

An easy way is to first remove the most commonly used input method, and then reinstall the input method, the most commonly used input method is installed in the front.

The second method is to adjust the order of the input method by modifying the registry, adding or removing input methods, and even the default input method after Windows startup is Chinese instead of English. Through the analysis of the registry, we can find that the corresponding primary keys of each input method are stored under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard layout\, as shown in the following table:

Under Hkey_users\.default\keyboard layout\preload\ is the primary key and key value of the input method installed by the system, the primary key is the natural number, and the key value is the primary key of each input method in the above table. For example, the system has installed smart ABC, full spell, and Wubi input methods, you can see the following primary key and key values:

Primary key key value

1 00000409 2 E0040804 3 E0010804 4 E0220804

Here we change the order of input methods:

Suppose you want to change the input method order to English, Wubi, full spelling, and smart ABC, you can make changes to the primary key and key values as follows:

Primary key key value

1 00000409 2 E0220804 3 E0010804 4 E0040804

Then restart the computer, the input method order is changed over.
