Language Bar hot keys and defaults

I am using the language bar default hot key of left all and shift to change input languages. Problem is the hot key isn't much good if I need to use my mouse to goto the language bar and tell it switch scripts. Is there some way I can tell it to set the korean language default input script as Hangul rather than english? Once I switch it, it stays for the duration of that program, but as soon as I'm in a different window, or I restart the program, it forgets and I need to change it again.

Control Panel | Regional and Language Options | tab Languages | Text services and input languages [Details] tab Settings; in the top section 'Default input language' you should be able to specify which is your default input language

I do not understand what your problem is with Alt+Shift - I always use Alt+Shift to switch between input languages. Yes, I still have to use the mouse to detach the language bar from the task bar, but I could also use the keyboard shortcut Alt+S.

My problem is that the default script for Korean seems to be English and not Korean. So when I hit alt-shift and switch to Korean, I'm still typing in english letters, until I take the mouse down and toggle the input script. See the two attached images to understand.

In the first attachment you can see what the bar defaults to if I alt-shift over to it. Continuing to type at that point just generates English letters. Not until I go down and toggle that script am I able to type in Korean letters. Once its switched, I can switch back and forth within the program I've changed it for no problem. But if I close it, or go to another program I have to set it all over again.

Ah, I understand now. But I am sure that there is also a keyboard shortcut to change between these scripts.

On my Japanese language bar I can change between

  • Direct Input (Alt+D)
  • Half-width Alphanumeric (Alt+P)
  • Half-width Katakana (Alt+A)
  • Full-width Alphanumeric (cannot see the keyboard shortcut)
  • Full-width Katakana (Alt+K)
  • Hiragana (Alt+H)
