What is Mahou?
Mahou- The magic Layout Switcher
How it works
Mahou works completely different from other Layout Swtichers, it switches not by next layout, but by specified in settings layouts. Even selected text switches just between selected layouts, though if you liked cycling through, starting from v1.0.2.9 there is Cycle Mode. Mahou requires .Net 4.5 or greater to work properly. Begining from v1.4.3.9 error when running on .Net 4.0 were fixed. Features
How to use:
To convert selection hit Scroll when select text. To convert input hit Pause when typing. To convert line hit Shift+Pause. To change layout by one key press CapsLock. Starting from v1.0.4.4 in Convert selection unrecognized text by all selected layout in settings (example: ?) just rewrites.

Nice!

Especially it has useful snippets and Caps Lock layout switch for Windows.
Dead and abandoned
Fast, clean, without trackers
Many functions and one-button language switching
One of the best keyboard layout switchers and, I think, the most customizable. You can customize practically each parameter of this layout switcher from it's decoration to behavior. Also the big advantage that program is open-source, so you can be sure, that it will not steal your passwords or any valuable information. Five stars and I personally declare that my quest for the best layout switcher is over, I found it!
Very needed application for cases when more than 2 languages installed. Windows built-it switcher is suxx. Unfortunately, number of features in Mahout, most of which are unneded for me, was prioritized over quality: program often hangs and glitches.
Similar program with only advanced keyborad switching capability would be appreciated.
