native support for disable Plover translation for a single stroke
Closed this issue · 1 comments
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
So I went online to find that this feature was not a natively supported command in steno which surprised me
so for example:
"HL PHRA*EUBL HL WORL" would output "hello HL world"
where PHRA*EUBL means Plover disable
Describe the solution you'd like
something like KPA* which enables the next word to be capitalized
as well as something like KAPD* which retrospectively capitalizes a word
but for Plover disable of course
Describe alternatives you've considered
there's a solution to this (for the next word)

and also one in the Plover dictionary examples
Why make the core more complex? Just make plugins.
Wouldn't a Python dictionary be sufficient? See the example in https://github.com/benoit-pierre/plover_python_dictionary#usage .
KA*PD are actually "just plugins" (they're defined as separate functions and linked together with setuptools entry points), they just happens to be bundled with Plover source code. https://github.com/openstenoproject/plover/blob/master/setup.cfg#L86-L99
