Keyboard Pilot overview

Let Keyboard Pilot take over switching keyboard layouts for different apps. If you're using a non-English keyboard layout, you might have noticed that some applications work better with an English layout. Things like key shortcuts in Photoshop, or typing symbols like [ ] { } in Xcode.

By letting Keyboard Pilot take over switching keyboard layouts to give you the best layout for the current application, you can focus on the actual task at hand instead.

What’s new in version 1.9.1

Version 1.9.1:
  • Add preference for not showing the menubar icon.

When it comes to write in different languages especially when one or none of them use Latin fonts then this utility really shows its muscles. If you are for example writing in Hebrew (right-to-left script) in Pages and then decide to consulte something on Safari your actual fonts with the help of this utility are then automatically switched into Latin fonts to allow you to enter text with Latin characters and only switch to Hebrew when you are back to Pages. Before using this App I had to be careful which language was active before switching between several open applications. Hundred times I typed mistakenly in Persian/Arabic when I was searching for something in English on Safari or erroneously added Latin characters to my Persian or Arabic texts. If you type in several languages specially those written with right-to-left scripts then go ahead and buy this time-saver to relieve yourself from head-ache. Amazing tool to put it mildly.

I use a Dvorak keymapping (to make typing more comfortable) but many games assume QWERTY (for WASD movement, etc.), and this great utility makes it easy to switch keymappings when I launch those apps.
