What is new in Ghbdtn 1.1

Fix text typed in the wrong keyboard layout with **⌥⌘** — `ghbdtn rfr ltkf` → `привет как дела`.

- Converts the selection, or the last word before the cursor (symbols included: `nj;t` → `тоже`)
- Flips every letter to the other layout, so mixed EN/RU text works; case is preserved
- Switches the keyboard layout to match and restores your clipboard
- Works in menu bar apps without ⌘C/⌘V through the Accessibility API
- 0% CPU when idle

**Install:** download `Ghbdtn-1.1.dmg` below and drag Ghbdtn to Applications, or `brew install --cask skriptoff/tap/ghbdtn`.

**First launch:** the app is not notarized yet, so macOS blocks it once — open it, then System Settings → Privacy & Security → **Open Anyway**. Then allow Ghbdtn in Privacy & Security → **Accessibility**.

Requires macOS 13+ with one Latin and one Cyrillic keyboard layout enabled.
