hs.keycodes.setMethod() stopped working in Tahoe (26)

[patrickli]

I use hs.keycodes.setMethod to customize the keyboard shortcut used to swith input methods. It has worked for the past 3 years without an issue.

My mac upgraded to Tahoe over the weekend and I found hs.keycodes.setMethod no longer works for switching from ABC to Pinyin - Simplified. However it still works when switching the other direction, but that uses hs.keycodes.setLayout instead of setMethod. (Don't ask me why, ask Apple for this retarded decision).

I also tried to use hs.keycodes.setLayout on Pinyin but it doesn't work since it is a method not a layout.

Observation is that hs.keycodes.setMethod returns false when trying to set to Pinyin. Pinyin is listed as one of the methods when calling hs.keycodes.methods().

Is hs.keycodes.currentSourceID still ok?

By OK you mean returning some data? In this case yes.
ABC -> com.apple.keylayout.ABC
Pinyin -> com.apple.inputmethod.SCIM.ITABC

This tool seem to work fine. https://github.com/laishulu/macism/ That would be my temporary workaround.

hs.keycodes.currentSourceID('com.apple.inputmethod.SCIM.ITABC') can set input method as well. I use this method for years, but I did not upgrade my MBP to Tahoe so I do not know whether it still works.

Ah this works! Thanks for the tip.
