Fix keyboards detection and do full swicth on input method

[mnivet]

I don't know if you expect to really maintain your copy
But it seems to be the most recent one among all the forks that I've found, and none as really tacle the main issue of that program which is that keyboard detection and switch is only based on languages and not really on input methods (which are a language + a keyboard layout)

this should fix:
agabor/RightKeyboard#1
agabor/RightKeyboard#2
agabor/RightKeyboard#4

https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/20994/Using-multiple-keyboards-with-different-layouts-on?msg=5646681#xx5646681xx
and probably others…

Also note that some dev have already tried to do that fix, but I looked at it and in fact it just write the id of the keyboard but not the name:

Thanks for this update! Is it possible to tell the tool to only switch the (layout, language) pair to the respective default if a keypress comes from a different keyboard than the last keypress? This would allow me to manually switch languages on a given keyboard

@Jonas-Metzger: Not sure to really understand your question so I will reformulate the facts:
The tool allow to switch the (layout, language) pair each time it detect that a keypress (any key) comes from a different keyboard.
The first time a keypress is detected from a new keyboard it display a screen so you can assign a (layout, language) pair to that keyboard
The goal is to switch automatically

On the other hand if you want to switch manually the (layout, language) pair on a keyboard you can use the windows native shortcut which is Win+Space. Maintain the window key and repeat space key to scroll up to the desired layout.

@mnivet Thanks a lot for your response! Here's my problem: I would like to always have the tool running, so whenever I switch keyboards it automatically switches to a respective default (layout, language) pair. But while the tool is running, I would like to have the option to manually switch the (layout, language) pair via Win+Space, without having my choice overriden on the next key press, if I'm still on the same keyboard. My feature suggestion for RightKeyboard would be to only switch the (layout, language) pair to the respective default when when it registers a key press coming from a different keyboard than the last key press. That way, RightKeyboard would also work for users who need to use multiple languages per layout. Does that make sense?

@Jonas-Metzger ok I understand now and it's probably do-able
I just saw that you already open an issue that describe that: #3
So I will try and give an answer in the issue instead of in that PR which is not linked to that request.

@mnivet Do you mind publishing an exe?

[mnivet]

@chuakc92 on this repo I can‘t.
But you can found one that match this PR on my fork here: https://github.com/mnivet/RightKeyboard/releases

I should admit that there is still some issues, but I won't try to fix them because I don't use the tool anymore.
It was useful for me for a time, but now, I've totally switch to a new layout and don't come back to the one I was used to before.
