* Stephan, I would appreciate to know whether it works with macOS
JMarc, that’s pretty cool.
I do not have a use for it, but the technical issues are interesting ;)
Yes, in principle it works on macOS.
Thanks for confirming.
Though I’ve noticed another effect
I’m not sure if it’s a good one: after switching from document language
to foreign by using the OS keyboard selection the entered text is in this
new input language. If I type one word and correct it by backwards removal
I'll reset the „toggle“ to the foreign language and the language is the
document language again. The OS keyboard selection remains „foreign“ of course
but the switch to it is reverted. I’m not sure what one would correct here
and also I’m not sure how to change it.
This is a very good point and such comments are the reason why I
committed my patch instead of just posting it. I want people to try it,
be annoyed by it, complain, propose solutions.
I thoought about this issue this morning, and I think this way of
functioning is not compatible with the usual LyX workflow. Currently, if
my document si in french and I lick on a block marked as english, the
language is set to English. This is done in Cursor::setCurrentFont().
What I could change is to always set the language to cursor language at
this point. This means that you can still change explicitly the language
the old way and input in this language, but the behavior when moving
around would be different.
I pushed a change to do this, please tell me what you think.
JMarc
