GhbdtnTyped in the wrong layout? Ghbdtn fixes it for you
It runs in the background, watches what you type and retypes the word in the right layout: ghbdtn becomes "привет", and руддщ becomes "hello". Manual mode is a double press of Left Shift.

The word is retyped in the other layout and the layout is switched
Features
Automatic switching
Each word is read twice: as typed and as text in the other layout. It is switched when the other reading is clearly more plausible. Three modes: cautious, balanced, aggressive.
Double Left Shift
Retypes the word, converts the selection or the word at the caret. Pressing it again restores the previous text. Double Left Ctrl converts the whole typed line.
No waiting for the word end
Optionally, a word is switched after a few letters if its beginning looks like no word of its own language. Double Left Shift before the word ends cancels it.
Learns from your corrections
An undone correction is remembered and the word is left alone. A word you switched by hand is switched automatically next time. Records are kept per application.
Stays out of the way
In password fields it does nothing. Words with digits, addresses, paths, mixed alphabets and abbreviations are left alone. It stays quiet in full-screen apps and password managers.
Per-application rules
An exclusion list with wildcards, separate settings per application, a quick pause from the tray menu, including 30 minutes or an hour.
Hint at the caret
When the layout changes, a small RU or EN tag appears near the caret. If the decision is not obvious, the tag names the reason: learning, dictionary or "leave alone".
Case and Caps Lock
"ТОлько" becomes "Только", "пРИВЕТ" becomes "Привет" and Caps Lock is turned off. Double Right Shift changes the case of the selection, and the tray menu offers transliteration.
Context aware
A short function word before the word being fixed is converted with it: D yfxfkt becomes "В начале". Only the wrong part of a word is fixed.
Offline
Nothing you type is sent anywhere, and the program does not go online on its own. Settings live in config.json next to Ghbdtn.exe.
