Mahou

What is Mahou?

Mahou is a versatile layout switcher application that offers a unique approach to managing language input across various applications. Unlike traditional layout switchers that cycle through predefined options, Mahou allows users to switch between specific layouts defined in the settings, providing a personalized and efficient input experience

Highlights

• Selective Layout Switching: Mahou enables users to switch layouts selectively, allowing them to convert only the selected text rather than the entire input. This feature provides granular control over language input, enabling seamless multilingual workflows
• Cycle Mode: For users who prefer cycling through layouts, Mahou offers a Cycle Mode, introduced in version 1.0.2.9, which allows for easy navigation through the available layouts
• Keyboard Shortcuts: Mahou provides a range of keyboard shortcuts to streamline the layout switching process, including "Scroll" for converting selections, "Pause" for converting input, and "Shift+Pause" for converting entire lines. Additionally, users can switch layouts with a single key press using the CapsLock function
• Unrecognized Text Handling: Starting from version 1.0.4.4, Mahou addresses the handling of unrecognized text by rewriting it across all selected layouts, ensuring a seamless and consistent user experience
• Mahou is designed to work with .NET 4.5 or greater, and the developers have fixed any issues related to running the application on .NET 4.0, ensuring compatibility and reliable performance.
