By Sunday night, he was typing "Ghbdtn" into a text file and seeing "Ghbdtn." No magic. Just silence. He didn't sleep

The first week was denial. He searched "punto switcher linux" and found graveyards. Forum threads from 2012 with dead links. A Python script on GitHub that hadn't been updated since the Obama administration. Someone named @xenolt had started a project called "X-Switcher" but abandoned it after 17 commits. The README said: "Works on my machine. Mostly." No warranty

Then he added a configuration file. Then a tray icon using gtk-rs . Then a toggle key. Then a feature that learned from corrections: if you manually changed a word back, it remembered not to correct that pattern again.

He opened it, heart racing.

He typed "Ghbdtn" in a text editor. Nothing.
