## What it is
InputTip is a rule-driven input method (IME) state manager for Windows built with AutoHotkey. It visually indicates the current input state (CN/EN/Caps/US/JP/KR) via cursor styles, overlays, symbols, or window borders, and can automatically switch input states based on window, hotkey, timer, and text-monitoring rules.

## Use cases
- show whether my input method is in Chinese or English mode near the cursor
- automatically switch to English input when a specific window is focused
- get a visual indicator for caps lock state on Windows
- switch keyboard layout per application window
- customize mouse cursor color based on IME state
- avoid typing Chinese in terminals or code editors by accident

## When to choose
- you are on Windows 10+ and want real-time IME state awareness
- you need per-window or rule-based automatic input method switching
- you want multiple visual indicator styles (cursor, overlay, border, symbols)

## When to avoid
- you are on macOS or Linux
- you need a cross-platform input method manager
- you don't want to run an AutoHotkey-based background tool
