Mac OS X Applications for Everyday. Keyboard Layout Switchers.


After two years of Mac user experience, I'd like list the applications I use everyday.

I am Russian, so I need a to write the texts in other encoding than ISO. Under windows, there is nice tool called Punto Switcher. For long time there was no such tool for mac, except RuSwitcher by Alexey Proskuryakov. RuSwitcher works only on Tiger and does not work under Leopard.

Hopefully, guys from Yandex has ported PuntoSwitcher to Mac OS X (Leopard & Snow Leopard). It is still a beta but I have no problems using it.

Some of the Punto Switcher's features are:
  • Switching keyboard layout automatically or with a hot key.
  • Fix incorrect layout for selected text.
  • Mac and Windows layout support.
