This simple program allows you to switch between languages using only one reconfigurable "Cycle Switch" hotkey - like the CapsLock one that is set by default.
If you have more than two languages installed, you can configure ones you want to switch between into groups, which you can cycle through both with the group hotkey and with the main "Cycle Switch" hotkey.
If you accidentally typed some text in the wrong layout, there is a "Convert Inplace" hotkey that helps to fix it. The success however depends on the current application.
If you are using the default configuration with Caps Lock as a Cycle Switch - original functionality of the Caps Lock key is available with hotkey "Left Alt + Caps Lock".
Additional indication about currently active layout is the country flag in the application icon, ScrollLock keyboard LED and on-screen overlay indicator.
Yet another hotkey may be assigned to execute optional "Eject CD" action. That is may be usefull for notebooks without mechanical eject CD button.
If the installation contains no country flag for your layout - tell us, and we add it to the next version of the program. You can also assign any icon in format 32 x 32 pixels True Colors to the layout. Other formats and sizes are supported too, but may be affected by conversion artifacts, especially on grayed images for disabled layouts.
