To quickly go back, I press <strong>CTRL + SHIFT + TAB<\/strong>, but occasionally, I end up releasing\u00a0<strong>TAB<\/strong> too quickly, and just shuffle <strong>CTRL + SHIFT<\/strong>, which then changes my keyboard layout.<br \/>\nTo make sure that you would have a higher risk of messing this up, Microsoft also made <strong>ALT + SHIFT<\/strong> a possible combination \ud83d\ude42 <em>#notsaltyatall<\/em>. So when you shuffle between open programs with <strong>ALT + TAB<\/strong>, and you want to go back one window, pressing\u00a0<strong>ALT + SHIFT + TAB<\/strong>, you will occasionally shuffle <strong>ALT + SHIFT<\/strong> instead of <strong>ALT + SHIFT + TAB<\/strong>, making you switch input language.<\/p>\n<p>Brothers and sisters&#8230;.
