Guild Wars 2

Hey there,

I have a little problem with my keybindings and I wonder, if there are more people out there having this problem and maybe know a workaround.

I bind the auto attack to Left ALT (thumb), and I dodge with Left Shift. The main idea is that I don’t have to move my fingers away from WASD for this basics. It works well for me. The problem I’m having is, that pressing Left ALT and Left Shift simultaneously changes the keyboard input language (in my case german keyboard layout to english). And that happens way to often while I play the game. I end up writing stupid things in chat… ;-)

Now you can switch off this function in windows, what I have done. But it seems like this “feature” is in the game. I can’t think of any sitution where I want to change that input language. So is there a possibility to kill this function in GW2?

If not, I would love to see an option ingame to switch it off. If there are no more people complaining about that, I understand that this would be too much to implement it.

Thanks for you attention

It sounds like you still have multiple keyboards set in your windows settings. I have just one keyboard set and the keys do not trigger anything.

I used to have the same problem, like Khisanth said I had 2 keyboards set, when i deleted one the problem solved.

Hope it helps.

Thank you for your replies. But unfortunately that is not the case for me. The english keyboard layout is erased in windows, and there are no keybindings active in windows. But this brought me to a new idea.

Maybe the problem is that my GW2 Client was originally installed in german. and I downloaded the english language pack later on.

Have you installed the english client directly?

I only have one language installed for GW2.

There is also a toggle language keybind in GW2.

Yeah, but this keybind means you translate onscreen text in another language. For example Queensdale to german Königinental. Maybe I download gw2 again one day in english. Seems to be the only option. But thx for your help
