Please check the comments here to see if you are using an IME. This feature is designed for CJK language IMEs and as far as I'm concerned only CJK language uses IME so it probably won't work for other languages.
Is it possible to make such an option for IME languages? It is now misleading, and such a feature is needed for any languages

Sorry but Windows doesn't provide such an API for non-IME input.
Alternatively, the layout could be changed automatically when you switch to an application window, and returned when you lose focus
Or make a converter for each "Key" so that each character can be converted to English layout

Just did some research and found that a bit tricky and might conflict with current IME logic. Maybe dive into that in the future.

Literally a bad idea.

So in theory it is possible to do this in the future?

Yes it's possible but probably tricky to implement.
Literally a bad idea.
What is the problem with this idea?
Bascially it's reinventing the wheel. It's exactly what a keyboard layout does.

Implementation is kind of insane but is it what you want?

As a workaround you can enable "Let me use a different input method for each app window" in Advanced keyboard settings. That way you can choose English layout for launcher and every time you open it, it's "automatically" changes.

It will work, but the solution is not convenient. It will be enabled for all applications on the system, but I only need it for one

Please do not proceed with this implementation(Wox PR 3384 or similar) until have confirmed with the team, this implementation is quite an effort.

Well currently I have no plan proceeding this idea. Quite busy IRL in the past few months:(
Literally a bad idea.
Not having this feature is no big deal, but I find it very convenient that JetBrains IDEs do this when I forget to switch the language.
