Ditto ctrl+1, 2

I did try a couple of utilities such as Keyman to allow remapping the ctrl-1,2,3...9 key combos for the purpose I was using them for but none of them worked reliably especially after opening multiple programs and caused some weird interactions even when it was working.

Seems to be available in Version 21H2 of Windows 10 Pro. Maybe it's gone with Version 22H2 which I've yet to allow… because I still have no idea what's in it. Until now I have never used the keyboard switch feature, except inadvertently.

Anniversary Edition was 1607 - i.e. August 2016.
