Punto Switcher known issues
Some people believe that the program is more harmful than confusing. There is a grain of truth in this - if you often write deliberately distorted words (or even shorten them), then Punto Switcher will always strive to switch the layout. Even when it is not needed.
The problem is solved by fine-tuning the program. Attention! During installation of the utility you need to be extremely attentive. You will be prompted to download Yandex Browser, antivirus and multi-caliber toolbars. Uncheck the corresponding checkboxes if you don’t need them, of course.
The utility is suitable for people whose professional activities are related to the processing and writing of a large amount of textual information. It helps to solve a number of small but unpleasant problems. Thanks to the “diary” function you will no longer lose your texts.
