Switch-keyboard-layout shortcuts for Windows

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
;
; Aidan Kehoe, Thu Jul 2 13:32:25 IST 2015. This is a backup of my
; Windows Registry settings relevant to switching between input
; methods; it specifies that Control + Alt + Home is my modified İrish
; layout, Control + Alt + Page Up is the system Persian layout, and
; Control + Alt + Page Down is the system Azeri layout. It’s not
; possible to specify these key sequences using the GUI, which is
; unfortunate, ideally you want to use a rarely-typed sequence to
; switch between input methods.
