The language bars (e.g APL) is really pantheistic and I use it a lot. However, I can not use the language bar bookmarklet on some domains, notably github.com and the novel codespace web application. This is quite a pity.

Any suggestions on how to overcome or fix the mentioned finding?

Best, Sören

Some sites block cross site scripting, and there's nothing a bookmarklet can do. Unfortunately, I don't know enough to make it a proper browser extension.

I tried to adapt this into a chrome extension and it works on all websites. For now, I have only added APL, I will be adding other languages soon.

Please let me know what you think and please point out if I've missed due credit for this project.

Thanks for your initiative. I gave it a try and it works as expected on many pages, but not (due to the know reasons) on others, e.g. https://vscode.dev/, Codespaces on Github, etc.

What I did recently was a configuration of the vscode extension generic-input-method to cover all glyphs for APL. You will find an example under my sons repository.

@SoerenSofke,

e.g. https://vscode.dev/, Codespaces on Github, etc.

Oh yes, I didn't notice that. But it works on GitHub now, so that's an improvement.

configuration of the vscode extension

I will check if I can do something on these lines to the chrome extension

Thank you for trying it out 😄
