------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Feb 15 09:50:20 -0800 2005 ------- I'm agree in the general idea that a user should be provided with some (visual, etc.) clue about 1) the change of keyboard layout 2) what is the current keyboard layout For (2), one may argue that most desktop environment (Windows, GNOME, KDE, CDE) already provide some kind of 'area' to show current keyboard layout. But for the user, having to left his/her eyes from the cursor (I-beam) position is distractive (and the user may not even look anywhere else except the cursor position while he/she do typing). Anyway, in the context of multilingual support, say more than two languages, I'm afriad that the 'cursor shape' approach mentioned by samphan@ may be inadequate. May be another solution is to have a small icon/character near by the cursor to indicate the current keyboard layout. The idea is pretty much the same as MS Office, which use a small icon to indicate a current paragraph alignment style (4 icons for: align left, centered, align right, justified). In this keyboard layout indication case, an ISO language code may be appear near be the cursor (assuming the user will using only one keyboard layout per one input language). --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
