im-select

Switch your input method quickly via VS Code commands. Supports up to 3 configurable favorite input methods.

Why this extension?

VSCodeVim has a vim.autoSwitchInputMethod.enable option based on im-select, which is a great feature. This extension brings that same capability into more workflows — such as Which Key, Command Palette, or any custom keybinding.

Example: Which Key integration

Bind your favorite input method switch to a key sequence, then open Which Key:

{
  "key": "shift shift",
  "command": "runCommands",
  "args": {
    "commands": ["im-select.switchToFavIM1", "whichkey.show"],
  },
}

Features

• Quickly switch to one of 3 favorite input methods via keyboard shortcuts or command palette
• Requires im-select CLI tool installed on your system

Requirements

Install im-select via Homebrew:

brew tap daipeihust/tap
brew install im-select
