Touch Bar input source language buttons

[yfilm]

Hi there,
I switch different input sources (languages) and currently there's only one option to switch between them as long as I know.
I assign 'select next source in input menu' shortcut to a button.
It works fine so far, but as I use more than two languages, it becomes a little awkward to keep pressing this button until you find the right one.

So I'd appreciate it if there's a function to assign specific language to separate button (for example English, French etc.) that I can place on the Touch Bar.
This way I don't need to tap on the button for multiple times until you get the right one.

Or, if you guys know any workaround, please let me know!

Thank you!

have you found any solution?!

I work with 3 Languages in a daily basis, and such a solution would be so helpful!

There are some presets here that can do this

[Khaledm87]

can you please link me to some of them?

another question,
I also want to be able to switch language with a touchpad gesture.
there's no option to do so in the predefined actions in the app.
and defining the gesture to execute the keyboard shortcut for switching the language didn't work for me.

any Presets/solutions for that?

Thanks!

How can I make a widget for language changing in BTT?

I have a few languages on my computer and it would be helpful if there could be a language changer widget.

Change of language in spellchecker

Hello, Does anybody know if it is possible to change spellchecker language with keyboard shortcut using the BetterTouch? I am struggling with this, since I have to write in English and in Slovenian (which is not officially supported by Apple), so I cannot use AutoDetect option. At the moment I have to open spellchecker (via keyboard shortcut) and then navigate to drop down list with my mouse and select correct language. If I could automate switching with a simple shortcut, it would be great. Tn…

Is it possible to show current `Text Input` language on TouchBar

It likely won't make any noticable difference. But compare the energy impact in Activity Monitor (just make sure to close the BTT preference window while doing so or it will seem really high). Also, I know you said it doesn't need to be actionable, but it is possible to make it so that pressing the button rotates between languages, or you can make a group with buttons for each language you use and set them to switch to that language when pressed.

I want to change the Keyboard Input language, not a spell checker.
Or is it behaves the same?

@Khaledm87

I want to change the Keyboard Input language

The keyboard layout you mean?

[Khaledm87]

I don't know what you mean with "keyboard layout", but in the settings it's called "Input source".
maybe that's the same.

Just switching to different language for typing in..

[Caliguvara]

Yupp, that's exactly the same then

Greetings,

When switching languages (English to Russian) or keyboard layout (QWERTY to Colemak) does this preserve the shortcuts?

Cheers.
