it used to be considered a common and annoying problem to accidentally type a lot using a different language keyboard (e.g. have English keyboard on, but trying to type Russian in), that a lot of people had an automatic keyboard switcher installed for that case (I'm talking like, 20 years ago)

one popular app for that also contained a keylogger with your whole typing history

somehow i don't miss the switcher, but i miss the history sometimes. it surely would be a security nightmare, of course

This one used to be the most popular:

I've never understood the reason behind it though, you're either touch typing and looking at the screen, or switching back and forth every couple of seconds to "re-synchronize" and look for typos. People I know haven't used it for longer than a couple of weeks.
