Timeout with InputSwitcher

[guenthermahr]

Hi,

thank you for your code, which I thought would help me a lot! When I tried it out on Mac 12.6. it first worked perfectly, but after a while it stopped working for unknown reasons. I actually execute it from an app as an osascript command in Java like this:

private String script = """
ignoring application responses
tell application "System Events"
click menu bar item 1 of menu bar 2 of application process "TextInputMenuAgent" of application "System Events"
end tell
end ignoring

		delay 0.1
		do shell script "killall 'System Events'"
		delay 0.1

		tell application "System Events"
	       	launch
		       click menu item tastatur of menu 1 of menu bar item 1 of menu bar 2 of application process "TextInputMenuAgent" of application "System Events"
		end tell""";

Then I replace "tastatur" in the script with the keyboard name and process it:

String scriptWithRightKeyboard = script.replace("tastatur", """ + keyboardName + """);

Runtime runtime = Runtime.getRuntime();
String[] arg = { "osascript", "-e", scriptWithRightKeyboard };
Process process = runtime.exec(arg);

As I said, it worked, and the very strange thing is that it still sometimes works (very seldomly), but most of the time I run into a
1712 timed out error after 2 Minutes.

Any idea would be very helpful. Thank you!
