Prerequisites

Install

macOS

Homebrew

brew tap daipeihust/tap
brew install im-select

Or you can run following command in your console:

curl -Ls https://raw.githubusercontent.com/daipeihust/im-select/master/install_mac.sh | sh

The im-select program will be downloaded to your /usr/local/bin/ path.

windows

Download the im-select.exe, and move it to the proper path.(If you need the 64 bit version, you can download this one.)

linux

You don't have to install this for linux. linux have tools to switch input methods

Usage

macOS

If your PATH contains /usr/local/bin, you can just use im-select instead of /usr/local/bin/im-select

To get current input method key

/usr/local/bin/im-select

To switch current input method

/usr/local/bin/im-select imkey

For example /usr/local/bin/im-select com.apple.keylayout.US

linux

ibus

@mengbo provided this configuration for ibus

"vim.autoSwitchInputMethod.enable": true,
"vim.autoSwitchInputMethod.defaultIM": "xkb:us::eng",
"vim.autoSwitchInputMethod.obtainIMCmd": "/usr/bin/ibus engine",
"vim.autoSwitchInputMethod.switchIMCmd": "/usr/bin/ibus engine {im}"

xkb-switch

@VEL4EG provided this configuration for xkb-switch

"vim.autoSwitchInputMethod.enable": true,
"vim.autoSwitchInputMethod.defaultIM": "us",
"vim.autoSwitchInputMethod.obtainIMCmd": "/usr/local/bin/xkb-switch",
"vim.autoSwitchInputMethod.switchIMCmd": "/usr/local/bin/xkb-switch -s {im}"

fcitx

@yunhao94 provided this configuration for fcitx

"vim.autoSwitchInputMethod.enable": true,
"vim.autoSwitchInputMethod.defaultIM": "1",
"vim.autoSwitchInputMethod.obtainIMCmd": "/usr/bin/fcitx-remote",
"vim.autoSwitchInputMethod.switchIMCmd": "/usr/bin/fcitx-remote -t {im}",

gdbus

@d-r-q provide this configuration for gdbus

Put gdbus call --session --dest org.gnome.Shell --object-path /org/gnome/Shell --method org.gnome.Shell.Eval "imports.ui.status.keyboard.getInputSourceManager().currentSource.index" | awk -F'[^0-9]*' '{print $2}' into get-im.sh.

Put gdbus call --session --dest org.gnome.Shell --object-path /org/gnome/Shell --method org.gnome.Shell.Eval "imports.ui.status.keyboard.getInputSourceManager().inputSources[$1].activate()" into set-im.sh.

"vim.autoSwitchInputMethod.enable": true,
"vim.autoSwitchInputMethod.defaultIM": "0",
"vim.autoSwitchInputMethod.obtainIMCmd": "<path to get-im.sh>",
"vim.autoSwitchInputMethod.switchIMCmd": "<path to set-im.sh> {im}",

qdbus (KDE)

@igorechek06 provided this configuration for qdbus

"vim.autoSwitchInputMethod.enable": true,
"vim.autoSwitchInputMethod.defaultIM": "0",
"vim.autoSwitchInputMethod.obtainIMCmd": "/usr/bin/qdbus org.kde.keyboard /Layouts getLayout",
"vim.autoSwitchInputMethod.switchIMCmd": "/usr/bin/qdbus org.kde.keyboard /Layouts setLayout {im}",

windows

The im-select.exe is command line program, but it can't work in cmd or powershell. It's microsoft's bug, the keyboard API doesn't support in cmd and powershell. I recommend you git-bash.

Note: The git-bash is not required. It's only used to get current input method key, which needed in VSCodeVim's configuration.

Run tests

To get current keyboard locale

/path/to/im-select.exe

To switch current keyboard locale

/path/to/im-select.exe locale

Note: The path in windows is like: C:\Users\path\to\file
