What it does

It shows your keyboard layout right where you type. CyrFlip puts a small EN / RU / UK marker on the system text cursor (the I-beam) and next to the blinking text caret, updated live as you switch layouts - so you never start typing in the wrong one. (The pointer is often an arrow while you type, which is why the caret marker matters.)

And when you do slip: select the text, press the hotkey, and CyrFlip transliterates it in place between QWERTY and ЙЦУКЕН (EN ↔ RU, with UK planned).

How to use

  1. Run CyrFlip.exe - it sits in the system tray (no window). The tray icon shows the active layout (EN/RU/UK).
  2. Select the text you typed in the wrong layout.
  3. Press Ctrl+Shift+F12 - it's replaced in place.

Right-click the tray icon for the menu: it shows the flip hotkey, a Start with Windows toggle, and Exit. CyrFlip runs in your session (it isn't a Windows service), so autostart is a per-user startup entry.
