How to make macOS remember each app’s input source? There are some setting, they don’t really work. It’s my only serious problem with the best OS around. Can anyone make an app to fix this? Thanks!

Interesting. I've always preferred the input source to be global rather than scoped-to-app. I can remember one input source but I can't remember for every open app, so I always know whether I have to switch.

Are you switching between English and some other Latin alphabet language? Or non-Latin?

Switching to Bulgarian in Notes, then switching to another app (where the focus isn't on an input field) and the new app gets Bulgarian input, which prevents me from controlling it by keyboard.

Would it be solved with a simple macro such that Ctrl+F2 (i.e. switch to menu bar, which is the way I mostly start to interact with UI using the keyboard) automatically reverted to Latin alphabet input? Hypothetically speaking.
