Source games adding another keyboard layout upon launching.
It's a pretty old bug. How come Valve didn't fix it still ?

What do you mean?

The keybinds on some games - source included - may be different from what you're used to.

Which specific game are you talking about? Is it source or gldsrc?

Are you using a qwerty keyboard or a different one?

I mean that when I launch a source engine game (DOTA 2, Left 4 dead 2, CS global offensive) another keyboard layout is added to my system. Specifically, English (United Kingdom). The language isn't displayed when I go to language setting in windows, however, it is still in my current keyboard layouts. The only fix to the issue is to add the language in windows settings and then remove it to delete the additional keyboard layout. It's a pretty old issue from what I gather, so it's pretty bumming that Valve haven't addressed still.
i did this on win11 and it worked:
Time & Language > Language & Region > Administrative langugae settings > Copy settings > check two boxes on the bottom and press OK

Not a steam issue, its game devs issue, i and other have seen even Bethesda use American keyboard layout with ingame consol "~" that is diffrent in my local language keyboard layout,

Just like abouve user try to explan, in the old PC day before own local OS and keyboard we did have US keyboard, so you see how OS and hardware ius matter here, and how game devs made it. ( fallout4 did have US in game overlap, they change it later. ) also why many ppl had issue with what is my consol key activation. )

This thread was quite old before the recent post, so we're locking it to prevent confusion.
