Description Mahitgar 2013-07-15 10:49:16 UTC
currrent 'control+m' toggel option is available but is usefull in between selected language keyboard and pc-native keyboard, one more toggle option for bilingual usage like say japanese and sanskrit, this option would be benefitting for wiktionaries.






Thanks and Warm Regards

I don't understand. Could you elaborate what is missing and why current functionality does not work for you? :(
Comment 2 Mahitgar 2013-07-16 09:45:31 UTC
The current functionality is working what I am asking for is an additional feature.


Say presently I am usually using अक्षरांतरण (transliteration) method in available input methods for marathi language  In current functionality control+m allows me to toggle only with my native pc-keyboard (Which is english).So this functionality is any way needed.

But when I will be working on  wiktionary  I know language Hindi also. While ULS provides me with facilty to use Hindi transliteration input method लिप्यंतरण but for that also with control+m I can togggle in between Hindi and native pc keyboard which is english.If I am a bilingual usually at wiktionaries and at time of translations I need to toggle directly in between two languages say for in my case I want to toggel directly between Marathi  अक्षरांतरण and Hindi लिप्यंतरण 


The additional feature will also be usefull while writing language learning articles on wikibooks


Thanks and regards

The feature request is clear to me. In my opinion, this is outside of the scope of what we want to provide with ULS. If switching between one keyboard layout and the native keyboard layout is wanted, I consider this already an expert use case, and I would suggest finding specialised software (or operating system supported features) to make fulfilling the need possible.

Adding this to ULS would increase the complexity of the solution, most likely increasing difficulty of the basic use cases, or allowing more room for confusion because of the increases number of use cases. I also do not see value in adding this feature for a large group of potential users.

I'm assigning "lowest" priority to this feature request. I think there is a high chance of this issue being closed as "won't fix" in the future because of the above.

(Removing private flag from comment 3 as there's no good reason to hide it from others, except for being a duplicated comment by mistake.)

>>increasing difficulty of the basic use cases<<

::I also do not want this solution at the cost of increasing difficulty of the basic use cases ; So frankly I prefer to withdraw the request and would welcome to put to wontfix so rest expert level people do not put pressure on ULS developer team.

Thanks and Regards
