Hello,

currently Alt-Shift is bound to the function <language-change> with the
effect of changing most keybindings on my keyboard (e.g. z <-> y)
I've tried to change the keybindings in different ways to switch off
this shortcut, however without success, e.g.

(global-set-key [<Meta-Shift>] 'ignore)
(global-set-key [<Shift-Meta>] 'ignore)

What do I do wrong? Any help is welcome.

Thanks,

Will

language-change is an event, not a function.

Assuming you're on Windows, it's Windows who's switching keyboards,
not Emacs. Probably Emacs should try to do something when it detects a
language-change event, but preventing them it's outside its
attributions. If you don't want Alt-Shift to change the current
keyboard you can deactivate the hotkey (for all apps, not just Emacs)
on the Control Panel, in the Keyboard settings.
