sway_independent_layouts

sway_independent_layouts

Saves the keyboard layout for each launched application in the sway environment and automatically changes it when switching between applications.

Also if you use a waybar for widgets, you can set the "signal": 3 for the language widget and it will be updated every time the daemon switches the layout. Example of waybar config:

{
	"output": "HDMI",
	"modules-left": ["sway/workspaces", "sway/mode"],
	"modules-right": ["layout"],
	"layout": {
		"exec": "layout_widget",
		"interval": 1,
		"signal": 3
	}
}
