If you are using *buntu/Mint etc (and maybe other distros) you could try
this: -
*Public Sub Form_Open()**
**Dim sKBFile As String[] = Split(File.Load("/etc/default/keyboard"),
gb.NewLine)**
**Dim sLine As String **
**
**For Each sLine In sKBFile**
** If sLine Begins "XKBLAYOUT" Then **Print sLine**
**Next**
**
End
*
Output using a UK (gb = Great Britain) keyboard is: -
*XKBLAYOUT="gb"
*Charlie*

thank you very much Lee
you solved it
I used:
Desktop.SendKeys("[Alt_L] + [Shift_L]")
so another problem appeared,
I need to detect if language is Arabic or English
I can't find a solution for that
Can you help me?
