Implementing some keyboard shortcut

Closed this issue · 2 comments

IMO we can adapt some of these shortcuts from https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/google-input-tools-by-goo/mclkkofklkfljcocdinagocijmpgbhab?hl=en-US

"""
Keyboard Shortcuts:

SHIFT - Toggle between active/inactive state for all transliteration (IME) tools

ALT+SHIFT - Switch to next input tool in the list (if the extension is off, turn it on; if the current input tool is the last tool in the list, turn the extension off)

CTRL+SPACE - Revert to the last input tool used (if none, turn off the extension)

SHIFT+SPACE - Toggle the SBC/DBC mode (Chinese input tools only)

CTRL+PERIOD - Toggle Chinese / European language punctuation (Chinese input tools only)
"""

Using SHIFT, CTRL+SPACE and SHIFT+SPACE as keyboard shortcuts could be problematic.

I can think of a range of keyboard layouts for African and South East Asian languages that when ported to jquery.ime would run into problems if such keyboard shortcuts where present in jquery.ime
