Best layout switcher for Windows
Nice!
The app allowed me to customize my Windows setup so I can use different shortcuts for different language pairs, making the whole experience much smoother.
Pros: a huge number of settings, open source, the author responds to private messages. Cons: chaotic arrangement of settings by tabs, lack of up-to-date documentation, no quick search for settings, no updates since mid-2019.
Dead and abandoned
I can see plenty of commits this and last year.
While last stable release was 6 years ago, it is still very stable and works perfectly. If you need fresh version, click on releases, latest pre-release was 2 months ago.
Fast, clean, without trackers
Many functions and one-button language switching
One of the best keyboard layout switchers and, I think, the most customizable. You can customize practically each parameter of this layout switcher from it's decoration to behavior. Also the big advantage that program is open-source, so you can be sure, that it will not steal your passwords or any valuable information. Five stars and I personally declare that my quest for the best layout switcher is over, I found it!
