Reminds me of my "favourite" macOS issue: alternative keyboard language input is carried over to the next app I switch to, or Spotlight. Almost 20 years of forcing me to switch back to the default language hundreds of times a day. Any idea if it can be fixed by an app? Thanks!
That has (since forever) been covered with a Settings toggle.
Keyboard -> Input Sources [edit] -> Automatically switch to a document's input source.
Checking it maintains different "active input source memory" per app.
Unchecking it keeps a global "active input source".
This only works if the next app has a text input in focus.
Not sure what you mean.
With this setting, I never have to "switch back to the default language", it only switches when I explicitly do so with a "next input source" keyboard shortcut.
Regardless if the "next app has a text input in focus" or not, the language I have set (english or my local one), sticks when I change apps.
