iOS supports using one keyboard for two languages (for me, a USA keyboard with English and Italian). Unfortunately this doesn't exist on macOS yet.

Sorta. macOS "Japanese – Romaji" input method supports capslock to switch between English and Japanese (easier than using the standard keycombo).

You can configure macOS to switch between languages by pressing the globe key, but it’s a far cry from letting you type in any of your languages without it autocorrecting/red-underlining.

#45Clever! For bonus points, fix my typing when my hands are misaligned by one letter. :)
hah, that’s a good idea!

#46Oh, this is a great idea! I've never realised that the keyboard layout I want correlates with the active app quite a lot! Can we get per-team Slack support? And an option to set the layout for all the Xcode versions, including the ones that will be installed in the future (using https://xcodes.app/ ) Also, it doesn't seem to work with iTerm2 for me.
Hi, yeah! thats a great idea and i will push it on the next version!

#47This seems like a giant security issue.
I mean yeah it is basically a keylogger, it's closed source, and it was made by a guy in Israel. I would not install it on my machine.
i understand the concern of it being closed sourced, to make it safer i notarized it with apple, and the only request the app will ever make is to girhub to see if there are updates. it is closed sourced since there is a voluntary option to purchase the app… the fact im from israel by itself shouldn’t be the reason to be concerned IMO.. vut thats only my opinion…

btw I see I didn't address the most important point, A keylogger's whole job is to record or send what you type. FlicKey does neither. It keeps a tiny in-memory buffer of just the last few characters you typed (so it can delete-and-retype them when you fix a wrong-layout mistake), and that buffer is wiped constantliy, on every 'return", arrow key, click, shortcut, and app switch. Nothing is written to disk, and nothing is sent anywhere. No network calls at all. You can confirm that part yourself with Little Snitch/Lulu or by watching its connections, it'll have none..
