SwitchToUS

Brief overview

SwitchToUS is an auto input method switcher.

SwitchToUS switches input methods to Roman one like U.S. when specified applications become active, e.g. Terminal.app. You do not need to change input methods by yourself anymore if you also use inputmethods other than U.S. like multi-byte inputmethods.

Install

  1. Open SwitchToUSxx.dmg. (xx is a version number.)

  2. Copy folder "SwitchToUS" into folder "InputManagers" of folder "Library" of your home folder. If folder "InputManagers" does not exist, please create it.

    Finally, you should find "SwitchToUS.bundle" and "Info" files in folder "SwitchToUS" of folder "InputManagers" of folder "Library" of your home folder.

* You can uninstall SwitchToUS by removing SwitchToUS folder in InputManagers.

How to use

  1. Launch the application you want to specify.
    (or restart it if it is already running.)
    SwitchToUS supports only Cocoa applications.
  2. You can find a menu "Switch to U.S." in the application menu.
  3. Select the menu to enable it. After you select it, you can see a checkmark on it.
  4. Any time the application becomes active, SwitchToUS automatically changes inputmethods to Roman one.
e.g. "TextEdit"
