Hello OpenOffice developers, I love your software and I use it regularly. Now I need to use OpenOffice to input Text in Indian languages. I have written Java based input methods for Indian languages and I have made them available as Open Source . I am updating them shortly and this time around I'd like to use them in OpenOffice applications too.
I am seeking your advice on the right way to do it so that the patch is included in the next release thus saving time for my self and users who will like to to see this feature. Below is my requirement: 1. Ability to input all Indian languages in the same document along with English 2. Ability to switch thru the Input methods via a (configurable) hot key such as (CTRL + SPACE) \ 3. Ability to display the active input method on the status bar (at the bottom) 4. Ability to display the active Locale on the status bar (at the bottom) 5. Ability to select a input method from menu system or via status bar pop-up menu (that we get by right click) Below are my questions: 1. What is the recommended place from where we can enable Java based input method? Do you recommend it be enabled via Tools -> Options-> Languages or can we enable it from a Status bar popup menu? (I ask this so that I adhere to the coding practices and standards). 2. What are the that require to be modified? (I am being lazy here... :) ) Hoping to hear from you soon.
