About:
cmd-eikana is a keyboard layout switcher for macOS that allows users to change input methods using specific key combinations. It provides a more intuitive alternative to the default macOS shortcut, enabling seamless switching between languages without using the Caps Lock key. The tool runs as a background process and is particularly useful for developers and multilingual users who frequently alternate between keyboard layouts.
Key Features:
  • Customizable keyboard shortcuts for layout switching
  • Lightweight background operation with minimal resource usage
  • Support for multiple keyboard layouts and languages
  • Alternative to macOS default Caps Lock behavior
Use Cases:
  • Multilingual users switching between Japanese and English keyboards
  • Developers who need to quickly toggle between different input methods
  • Users who want to remap Caps Lock functionality for better workflow
Alternatives:
  • Karabiner-Elements – More comprehensive keyboard customization tool, but heavier and more complex
  • macOS native input switching – Built-in but limited to Caps Lock or Ctrl+Space shortcuts
