With two layouts in my input sources (Swedish-Pro and U.S) I get a strange behaviour. When

xkbswitch -s 1

does nothing, while

xkbswitch -s 0

switches to Swedish-Pro and

xkbswitch -s 2

switches to U.S. layouts. Is this behaviour expected?

@JezuzStardust hi! Yes that expected behaviour because of strange logic behind layouts in macOS that gives not sequential identifiers 😄 This numbers are system level identifiers of the keyboard layouts. For example I have only Russian and English layouts. When English layout is chosen xkbswitch -g gives me 0, but when Russian layout is chosen xkbswitch -g gives 3.

@JezuzStardust I am closing this issue, feel free to reopen it if you think that we need to handle this case somehow.
