Displaying Current Language in Panel #345
-
|
Hello. Could you please tell me how to display the current language in Sketchybar? For example, I have multiple keyboard layouts - English, Spanish, and German, and in the standard macOS panel, I can see which keyboard language is selected. I would like to display the selected language in Sketchybar as well. |

If you howerver want to customize the behavior and make a custom item, there is an event that can be used to detect changes in the input source i.e.: sketchybar --add event input_change AppleSelectedInputSourcesChangedNotificationyou could then use a regular item with a script and subscribe it to the above event for all the customization you want to do. |
