Hi,
Thank you for the wonderful software. I have tried to search the same software on Mac as Aml Maple on windows which use text cursor and/or mouse pointer to be the indicator for the current input source.
Could it be possible to add a cursor presentation option of using the cursor?
Cheers

I would like to have such feature too. Some cursor with language code or colorized cursor would be great.

I totally agree with your idea.
I hope Apple has some API to be able to implement this feature.

Just try this app: https://bitbucket.org/avkorotkov/youtype/wiki/Home
It shows the language icon near the cursor.

YouType is great, but I don’t know how to make third-party input source work with this it, the link on the FAQ page is dead. Anyone knows how to?

You can ask the developer about it in the issues section.

youtype only sets the indicator to the mouse pointer, but does not support text cursor indicator.

I think the text cursor indicator is the best experience.

It seems that apple doesn't provide an api for text cursor position.

Is there a way to display it on the window, instead of the title bar? That would also be nice.

good idea. For example, if you could put an indicator in the middle of a vertical left border, this would be closer to your focus and more visible when typing.

Or maybe you could even recolor/overlay the whole window border in 2/3 colors to make it even more visible regardless of where your cursor is
