I use multiple input sources (English, Ukrainian and Russian) and frequently face the following issue.
When I invoke Alfred but forget to switch my input source to English, I may end up typing e.g. "сркщьу" instead of "chrome". "сркщьу" is not a real Russian word, it's just what I get if type what would have been "chrome" if the input source was set to English.
The question is, is it possible to make Alfred recognise this and treat "сркщьу" as "chrome"? Some other apps, in particular IntelliJ, do this and it's very convenient.
I'm willing to write some code if that's what's needed, but I'd appreciate any guidance.
