Usage Note 59803: The Alt+Shift keyboard combination in SAS® Enterprise Guide® conflicts with a similar shortcut to switch keyboard input languages

DetailsHotfixAboutRate It

Beginning with release 7.13, SAS Enterprise Guide enables you to set focus on the first item in the currently active window by pressing Alt+Shift. For example, if a process flow is active, pressing Alt+Shift sets focus on the Run button. If you are in the Program Editor, pressing Alt+Shift sets focus on the Save button.

However, you might encounter a conflict with this keyboard combination. Specifically, when multiple languages are set at the operating-system level, the keyboard combination Left Alt+Shift can be used to switch keyboard input languages. Under these circumstances, pressing Left Alt+Shift in SAS Enterprise Guide changes the keyboard input language instead of the focus in the currently active window.

To avoid this problem in SAS Enterprise Guide, you can change Windows key combination for switching the keyboard input language.
