Is there a way to set up keyboard layouts preferences to have a **separate layout for each window**? **Use case described step by step:** - I use **two keyboard layouts**: English and non-English one. - I often open Terminal, where I use English layout. - And I often chat in another app using my native language. - I am tired of switching **global keyboard layout** back and forth. - I would like **macOS to remember**, which layout was **last-used in each window**. Especially interesting, if it is possible to do with **native tools** or settings in Monterey rather than 3rd party app. Just like it is possible to do in Linux with a single click in Input methods settings. PS: there is the same question here , but the **answer is outdated**. There is no such setting anymore. At least **in Monterey**.
