Switch or Not?

Well, i've been learning c++ for 4 months (at March 1st) and it's been good-ish. So far, i've learnt: variables, loops, functions, arrays, vectors, enums, switch & if/else, pointers & references, dynamic mem. allocation, conditional operators and recently, classes. I haven't learnt much on classes because i realised the '~' key exists periodically on the computer i'm using. The plan was to learn c++ for 6 months (console part) then learn c++ for another 6 months with Qt (gui part) and the directx, maths, physics before making games. I didn't have a problem with this other than the fact that i don't like the console. I don't mind using it to learn c++ but if i had a choice, i would leave it for qt immediately. Another idea today about a game but it was different because it's always about 3d games but this one was about a 2d game. An open world, third person game based on the best 2d cartoon/animation ever created that's available for Microsoft (xbox, pc, phone), Apple (i<whatever>, pc) and Google (android). I've got everything worked out except the fact that 1) it's based on a cartoon (license needed) 2) Unity seems like the best option 3) Unity uses C# (i know about the boo and javascript). It's the first game idea that didn't make me not like Apple, the idea of making a 2d game, being available on mobile and multiplayer support. I was just wondering if i should start learning C# and pause the learning of C++ and then continue learning C++ later on (in order to accomplish my other dreams) or continue learning C++? Sorry for how long it is.

C++ is getting interesting again, especially classes. Benefit of this thread.
Thanks.

Did you feel a sense of irony when making this post? I certainly did.

There are no benefits from this thread; as you appear to hear what you want to hear and ignore the rest.

Maybe he has multiple keyboard layouts and accidentally presses 'shift + ctrl', which on some setups switches between the different keyboard layouts?

Another shortcut can be "Alt + Shift".

In either case, if that's the problem, a solution can be found here.

Lol, you are probably right. It has been ages since I have worked properly with a Windows machine, but it is the same idea.

EDIT: OOPS, sorry for keeping this thread alive.

I agree this appears to have run its course, since the OP doesn't actually appear to be interested in advice that isn't affirmation of his own agenda.

Consequently, I will solve the problem "keep alive" problem.
