Language Indicator

Per-Language Styling of Text Caret and Mouse Cursor

This script keeps track of your current language (or input method, keyboard layout) and changes caret and text selection mouse cursor. It works in most envs, including consoles and Universal Windows Apps (aka Metro apps). Exceptions are Adobe Indesign and some .NET MAUI apps.

Add, change, or delete caret marks and cursors to personalize their appearance. Use the following naming convention:
language#1+capslock → cursors/1-capslock.cur + carets/1-capslock.png
language#2 → cursors/2.cur + carets/2.png
language#2+capslock → cursors/2-capslock.cur + carets/2-capslock.png
...

Installation

1. Download language-indicator.exe, a compiled AHKv2-64 script
