This script keeps track of your current language (or input method, keyboard layout) and changes caret and mouse cursor based on files inside folders ./carets/
and ./cursors/
.
The caret and cursor might also be altered depending on capslock state, e.g. create ./carets/2-capslock.png
for secondary language with capslock on.
Reliable: Works everywhere, including consoles and Universal Windows Apps (aka Metro apps).
Customizable: Add, change, or delete cursors in ./cursors/
to set the look for different languages and Caps Lock state. For example 2.cur
to be used if secondary input method is turned on. Same with caret marks in ./carets/
folder.
- Download
language-indicator.exe
(the compiled AHKv2-64 script) - Download
./carets/
+./cursors/
folders. - (Optional) Remove unwanted, or add your own carets or cursors in corresponding folder.
- Create shortcut for
language-indicator.exe
. - Move shortcut to the startup folder. For Windows 10, this is typically
%appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
- Written for AHK v2.
- Supported cursor file formats: CUR, ANI, ICO.
- Create your own cursor with Sib Cursor Editor.
- Currently, the script only affects the text selection cursor (
ibeam
). This can be changed within the script.
Cheers!
