"/" search with auto layout switching

Hello!

You can use CmdlineLeave and CmdlineEnter autocmds if it's possible.

Thank you for your great plugin!

Suggestions for MacOS version

Hi! Thank you for making NeoVim alternative of the original xkbswitch. Love to see people making more and more lua stuff out there.

I tried your plugin, and it didn't work for me, so I decided to give you a couple of suggestions.

When you build vovkasm/input-source-switcher on MacOS you get libInputSourceSwitcher.dylib and issw. That issw binary is basically xkb-switch. It also has -l option, which produces the following on my machine:

com.apple.keylayout.ABC
com.apple.keylayout.Russian

There was also a change on recent MacOS versions on Apple Silicon Macs, which changed permissions for /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/bin. I don't want to use sudo, so I put libs and bins into another directory. I think people do the same, but I am not sure. Anyway, it would be great to have an ability to change default paths.

In short, my suggestions are:

• add ability to use issw
• improve US layout finder
• add ability to change default paths

ru+phonetic_mac russian layout

Привет!

Плагин не работает на раскладке ru+phonetic_mac

OS: Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS x86_64

Подключение плагина:

│   use {

│     config = function()
│       require('xkbswitch').setup()
│     end

Перехожу в insert mode, переключаю раскладку на русскую, возвращаюсь в normal mode, раскладка остается русской.

g3kb-switch -n работает.

Remember used language per buffer

I tried out this plugin, and it only works for 1 instance of Neovim. Furthermore, the language persists between buffers. If multiple buffers/instances will be supported, then this plugin will deserve an ultimate status.

unclosed if statement

looks like you have an extra space in the else if statement in the latest fix ( # 4 )
see

xkbswitch.nvim/lua/xkbswitch.lua

Line 48 in b3cd50c

else if string.find(value, '.US$') then

error log:

MacOS: english layout not found error

On my mac the US layout has a name
com.apple.keylayout.US.

And i get the following error on neovim start:

Error detected while processing /Users/Emptyfruit/.config/nvim/after/plugin/xkb-switch.lua:
E5113: Error while calling lua chunk: .../site/pack/packer/start/xkbswitch.nvim/lua/xkbswitch.lua:52: (xkbswitch.lua) Error occured: could not find the English layout. Check your layout list. (xkb-switch -l / issw -l / g3kb-switch -l)
stack traceback:

MacOS: 12.6.3
Neovim: 0.8.3
issw: 0.3

Modify README with the info of how to install this into lazy.nvim

Using LazyVim juste create a file
~/.config/nvim/lua/plugins/xkbswitch.lua

with content

return {
	{'ivanesmantovich/xkbswitch.nvim' },
}

FocusLost, FocusGained strange behavior

When I switch from nvim to KDE application with non US layout and switch back, Insert mode uses this non US layout even if it was US before switch to other app. This is misbehavior and I had to comment out FocusGained and FocusLost events in autocmd. Is this logic really needed and works as intended?
