Keyboard Layout Auto Switch

If you are multilingual, you probably use several keyboard layouts depending on which language you are writing in and which websites you are visiting. Of course, switching between these manually can get irritating, and that is why this program may interest you.

Keyboard Layout Auto Switch is a small application that can select a user-defined keyboard layout automatically when you visit a particular website or use a certain browser function. It only works with Firefox at present, but more browsers are likely to be supported in the future.

This application is primarily designed to let you select the keyboard layout you wish to use for websites in different languages. You can assign a specific one for each domain, and the switch will be made automatically when you visit the website.

You can create any number of rules for all the web pages you visit, and the program can perform the switch while running in the background.

Aside from detecting visited domains, Keyboard Layout Auto Switch can also tell when you select the search and location bar or when you use the page search function.

It is possible to configure a specific keyboard layout to be used for each of these functions, or you can just let the browser use the default system settings.

Keyboard Layout Auto Switch is very easy to configure, so users shouldn’t even need to read the documentation, though it certainly helps that it is available.

This is a great tool for users who frequently switch between keyboard layouts and are looking for a quicker way to make the change. It only works with Firefox for the time being, but support for more browsers is likely to be added in the future.
