Input method, Sticky, and Typewriter

[infimum]

There are languages in which "direct input" is not the norm. What do I mean by "direct input"? Have you ever wondered how Chinese characters, for example, are input from a keyboard? This Wikipedia page will give you an idea of how this is done.

Notice strings need to be "edited inline" so to speak and confirmed by hitting Enter. It's sort of like "inline renamig" in Windows Explorer if you will.

Now this function provided by Microsoft needs to be supported if programs are claimed to support unicode. Text editors are a good exmaple. Nowadays majority of them support unicode. So authors of those text editors need to and are able to support this kind of input method even though they don't know a thing about relevant languages.

Here is an exmaple in which the lack of this support is demonstrated.



Can you see it's not "inline" and Microsoft comes in to rescue?

Yes, we are planning to add support of this, but since it is required a lot of work, it is still deffered. hope we will implement this very soon.
