Swapping Thai and English layouts
Posted: Tue Oct 18, 2011 10:17 am
I'm interested in how the T/E key works. I did a fair bit of googling but couldn't find much of anything.
Here's my guess:
When in Thai mode, pressing it switches to English mode and pressing it with Shift inserts a % character.
When in English mode, pressing it switches to Thai mode and pressing it with Shift inserts a ~ character.
There's also a Thai-only layout where the key is used to insert _ characters instead of swapping layouts; is that commonly used in Thailand? It's the behaviour I get when choosing Thai language in my English version of Windows 7.
The attached photo has ` on the English side, can the key be used to insert that instead of swapping to Thai? That's what it does in normal English (US) layout.
Edit: To clarify, I don't have a keyboard like this myself and I'm not trying to configure my own computer to work like this. I'm just curious to know how it works in Thailand.
