Automatically switching dictionaries based on keyboard layout language #213

Open kurushimee opened 2 months ago

kurushimee commented 2 months ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? If so, please describe. Currently, ZipChord keeps working and with the same dictionaries even if I switch my keyboard layout to a language other than English. This causes issues when trying to type something in a different language because ZipChord keeps functioning with the English dictionaries.

Describe the solution or functionality you'd like Add the ability to either pause ZipChord when using a non-English keyboard layout, or add the ability to switch dictionaries on/off based on currently working language.

Additional context In my example, I'm using a standard English (US) layout, switching to a standard Russian keyboard layout.

Thank you for the suggestion! I'll add it to my roadmap. Eventually, I'm planning on supporting switching dictionaries and ZipChord keyboard and language settings automatically with Windows keyboard layout changes. (Things have been busy with my new job.) In the meantime, a workaround is to use the configurable keyboard shortcut to Pause/Resume ZipChord (https://github.com/psoukie/zipchord/wiki/Application-Keyboard-Shortcuts-window)
