A Flutter plugin for controlling IME (Input Method Editor) state. This plugin helps you manage keyboard input modes in Windows and macOS applications, particularly useful for login forms and password fields where English input is preferred.

Features

• Check current keyboard input mode
• Automatic IME mode switching for password fields
• Native API implementation (Windows IMM32, macOS Carbon)

Getting started

Add this to your package's pubspec.yaml file:

dependencies:
  flutter_ime: ^2.0.0

Usage

import 'package:flutter_ime/flutter_ime.dart';

// Switch to English keyboard
await setEnglishKeyboard();

// Check if current keyboard is English
bool isEnglish = await isEnglishKeyboard();

Automatic Password Field Example

class LoginPage extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  _LoginPageState createState() => _LoginPageState();
}

class _LoginPageState extends State<LoginPage> {
  final _passwordFocusNode = FocusNode();

  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();

    // Switch to English keyboard when password field gets focus
    _passwordFocusNode.addListener(() {
      if (_passwordFocusNode.hasFocus) {
        setEnglishKeyboard();
      }
    });
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return TextField(
      focusNode: _passwordFocusNode,
      obscureText: true,
      decoration: InputDecoration(
        labelText: 'Password',
      ),
