Claveilleur

Claveilleur /kla.vɛ.jœʁ/ is a simple input source switching daemon for macOS.

Inspired by a native Windows functionality, it can automatically switch the current input source for you according to the current application (rather than the current document).

WARNING: This is still a work in progress. Use it with care!

Building & Installation

Installing with brew

brew install rami3l/tap/claveilleur

Building from source

# The recommended way is to use `mint`, so we will install it first:
brew install mint

# To live on the bleeding edge:
mint install rami3l/Claveilleur@master

Usage

Getting started is as simple as:

# Installs the launch agent under `~/Library/LaunchAgents`
claveilleur --install-service

# Starts the service through launchd
claveilleur --start-service

If this is your first time using Claveilleur, please note that you might need to grant necessary privileges through System Settings > Privacy & Security > Accessibility. After doing so, you might need to stop the service and start it again for those changes to take effect:

# Restarts the service through launchd
claveilleur --stop-service && claveilleur --start-service

To uninstall the service, you just need to run the following:

# Stops the service through launchd
claveilleur --stop-service

# Removes the launch agent from `~/Library/LaunchAgents`
claveilleur --uninstall-service
