Switching from macOS to Pop _OS
I haven't tried but it seems like you could use a keybinding daemon to effectively remap any application by changing layer in response to window focus changes.

KMonad gives you superpowers & you'll end up using it everyday
I found the configuration a bit confusing, and an alternative I ended up using is https://github.com/ItayGarin/ktrl.

It's 2021. There is still no option to rebind keys in a Paradox game
On Linux you could use ktrl layers to change the keyboard layout on the fly.

ktrl is based around this idea with layers.

How to bind layout switching to separate key for each layout?
Try using xkbgroup (https://github.com/hcpl/xkbgroup) and next i3 config: bindcode 62 --release exec --no-startup-id xkbgroup set num 0 bindcode 105 --release exec --no-startup-id xkbgroup set num 1 bindcode 108 --release exec --no-startup-id xkbgroup set num 2 exec_always --no-startup-id setxkbmap -layout us,ua,ru -variant ,ruu -option grp_led:caps,grp:alt_shift_toggle Note 1. I would suggest to leave some conventional toggle binding enabled (like alt+shift in my case), since i3 bindings may not always work. Think of screen locker as an example. Note 2. Ukrainian and Russian layouts are almost identical except few letters, and there're variant of Russian layout which also allows to type Ukrainian letters using AltGr key (can be remapped if needed): exec_always --no-startup-id setxkbmap -layout us,ru -variant ,ruu -option grp_led:caps,grp:alt_shift_toggle
