This small utility was born out of frustation after a mob programming sesssion. The session took place on a french mac book pro, using a pair of french pc keyboards. Some programmers were used to eclipse, others to intellij on linux, others to intellij on mac.
While OSx automatically switches the layout when a keyboard is activated it doesn't change the keymap, meaning we had to remember changing both the os and the IDE keymap each time we switched developper.
This software removes one of the switches: it memorizes the last active osx input source for a given keyboard and restores it automatically when that keyboard becomes the active keyboard.
