Tablet mode, auto-switch or correct virtual keyboard layout? #47

Hi, been using EPiKaL on Windows 11 for Colemak-DH.

It's been working perfectly. Only thing can make it better is, if when I switch to tablet mode, that either:

a. The virtual keyboard is the right layout b. It auto-switches to qwerty when in tablet mode.

I'm not sure if anyone knows if either of these options is possible. Thanks!

It's a good suggestion. However, I have no idea how to detect tablet mode. Not sure the AutoHotKey language has picked up on it yet either, although there probably are some Windows DLL calls that could do the trick.

Not sure what you mean by "The virtual keyboard is the right layout"?

The only remedy I can suggest for now is a manual layout switch using the change layouts (default Ctrl+Shift+2) hotkey.

In tablet mode, when you go to an input field it pops up a qwerty virtual keyboard. (Much like on a smart phone), but since the AHK overrides it, if I press "J" on the qwerty virtual keyboard, it inputs an "N".

The only remedy I can suggest for now is a manual layout switch using the change layouts (default Ctrl+Shift+2) hotkey.

Thanks! I'm doing the "double-click" taskbar icon to switch atm.
