Thank you for your bug report:
I wish more people would report crashes when they happen so that they can be tracked down and eliminated. It can only help.
Repeatable crashes can always be fixed if we can recreate them.
I added 3 keyboard layouts to my mac and changed them when Sigil was running with no difficulties. I even modified the change keyboard layout shortcut to match the default Ctrl+2 (h2 Sigil shortcut) to match your case. The Ctrl+2 key event is properly intercepted by the OS which properly changes the keyboard layout. That shortcut never reaches the Sigil app at all. No issues whatsoever.
So whatever is causing this is Windows or system specific and does not happen with macOS.
Is anyone else who uses Linux or Windows seeing similar crashing when changing keyboard layouts?
We will need more info please to track this down:
1. What keyboard layouts do you have installed? Which one causes the crash?
2. What else on your system uses the Ctrl+2 shortcut?
3. Have you tried rebooting Windows into safe mode to prevent broken shell extensions from loading?
4. Does the problem keyboard layout use a different IM or result in a different keyboard driver being used?
5. Have you tried changing the keyboard change shortcut key Ctrl+2 sequence to something else to see if that impacts the issue?
Any details that could help us recreate the crash would be very useful.
Thanks,
KevinH

On my machine (Windows 10, with all patches installed), ctrl+2 is assigned to switch to a specific keyboard layout (I’ve got 4 installed on my machine, for various languages). I thought this was due because of a conflict with Sigil’s own Ctrl+2 used to insert h2, but even when I disabled this shortcut, Sigil kept crashing when I hit ctrl+2.
