Hi there,

I've cloned the repo and tried to build it using swift build --configuration release, however, after it complained about not finding a prebuilt standard library for arm64, it errored out with package.swift:4:8: error: no such module 'PackageDescription' import PackageDescription is a recurring error I have seen with other previously downloaded XCode projects. This might be entirely on me, however, I do not know enough about Swift development to be able to come up with a solution to the issue.

Hi, not so much an issue, but a way to figure out if I'm doing something wrong

I installed autokbisw and I see no difference with vanilla. I'm not sure if it isn't working properly or if I am doing something wrong. There are no information in the readme about what is supposed to happen and when.

I imagine it's supposed to do something like that:

• start typing with a keyboard 1 to make it active
• select input source 1 for that keyboard
• start typing with keyboard 2
• select input source 2 for that keyboard

Now, when you type with keyboard 1, input source 1 is used (you can see it change on the upper right) and when using keyboard 2, input source 2 is used.

That's what I imagine is supposed to happen (but nothing happens here for me), but I can't be sure without a description.

Hello, this isn't an issue but a function request. Would it be possible to switch modifier keys (e.g: Ctrl is mapped to CMD, CMD is mapped to Ctrl) when switching keyboard layout ? This way the internal keyboard would have the original settings but any external Windows keyboard would have Windows modifier keys working on iOS. Thanks !

Is it relaly required to have XCode installed or is that an error in the brew installer?

❯ brew install ohueter/tap/autokbisw

....

autokbisw: A full installation of Xcode.app is required to compile
this software. Installing just the Command Line Tools is not sufficient.

Xcode can be installed from the App Store.
Error: autokbisw: An unsatisfied requirement failed this build.

Is this an install dependency or does this need to be present when using it? Either way, that's quite a heavy dependency. I'm downloading 13GB now just to switch the language of my KB 😹

Hello, I'm using 2 keyboards: a Logitech PC keyboard and the internal Macbook keyboard. The PC keyboard is using a custom layout made with Ukulele and the Macbook keyboard is using the Apple French AZERTY layout. When starting a virtual machine on Parallels Desktop, the layout is switching back to the internal Apple layout and pressing a key on the PC keyboard doesn't make it switch back to the custom layout. I think that this is because of the way Parallels is switching layout, making Autokbisw thinking that the change is user made.

I will open a ticket to Parallels Desktop, but do you have any clue how to fix that ?

Thanks

Thanks for updating this useful tool to work on the latest OSX! My new Logitech mouse reports as a keyboard so it would cause unintended language switching whenever I moved it (same problem as this issue https://github.com/jeantil/autokbisw/issues/18 in the older version). This check to see if it conforms to mouse solves the issue with my setup at least.

I have two Logitech devices - a MX Master 3 (Mouse) and a MX Keys (Keyboard). For mouse events, I see the appropriate message of ignoring events from it when looking at the logs with autokbisw -v 2:

received event from keyboard MX Master 3-[1133-45091-Logitech-8650418194568778] - 661132639 - 4299630569
ignoring event as device is a mouse

But this also appears when I am typing in my MX Keys:

received event from keyboard MX Keys-[1133-45915-Logitech-58FD86B9CF3FE9CA] - 3158248515 - 4299633249
ignoring event as device is a mouse

Because of this, I currently can't use autokbisw to switch language inputs, because the external keyboard is not recognized and so will not trigger a language change.

Both devices are connected through Bluetooth on macOS Monterey 12.6.1

Currently, my Keychron keyboard is being detected as a mouse by autokbisw.

To fix this problem, I patched IOKeyEventMonitor.swift so that conformsToMouse is false for Keychron devices (vendor id 13364).

I suspect that the keyboard could be detected as a mouse since its firmware allows to perform mouse actions. Cleaner ways to address the problem should be investigated, but this is a working temporary patch.

Tested on MacOS 12.6.

Hello, not an issue, but more of a question.

I have a mac mini m1, I have two keyboards on it. One is in English and another one in Spanish. Mostly because I have a K400 that has a trackpad and makes my life easier to control my computer when I'm a bit far.

My idea was that autokbisw would automatically switch between keyboards depending of which one was in use, but so far not much in terms of luck. If for example I start typing using my Spanish keyboard and manually switch to Spanish then go to to my English keyboard it will stay in Spanish. I have tried a few alterations, but so far nothing has really worked. I'm starting to think that this only works with laptops and a single external keyboard perhaps?

thanks!
