A small command-line utility that reports and switches the current keyboard input method on macOS and Windows. It was built primarily to power VSCodeVim's autoSwitchInputMethod feature.
Use cases
- switch input method from the terminal
- automatically switch IME when entering vim normal mode in VSCode
- get the current keyboard layout identifier in a shell script
- toggle between English and CJK input methods while coding
- script input method changes on macOS or Windows
When to choose
- you use VSCodeVim and want automatic input method switching between insert and normal modes
- you need a simple scriptable way to query or set the system input method on macOS or Windows
When to avoid
- you are on Linux, which already has native tools like ibus or fcitx for input method switching
- you need a GUI input method switcher rather than a command-line tool
