I'm currently writing an input method that mirrors the Tamil99 keyboard
layout, and have two questions about Quail.
1. Is there a per-input-method activation hook? I know there's the
general input-method-activate-hook but I want a hook that will be
run whenever a specific input method activates. I can check for
the current-input-method value in the hook but before I go do it,
I wanted to know if I missed something obvious when reading the
Quail docs.
The reason I ask this is because the Tamil99 keyboard layout has
a state to keep track of. I want to reset this state whenever
one activates the input method to avoid surprises.
2. Currently the quail-keyboard-layout-standard resembles the VT100
keyboard layout, can we change it to resemble the US Qwerty
layout instead? This is not a problem when writing a new Quail
keyboard layout in quail-keyboard-layout-alist but it is a
problem when the keyboard layout is printed.
Evaluate (quail-insert-kbd-layout quail-keyboard-layout-standard)
and check the keyboard printed out. I doubt anyone uses a VT100
terminal these days, printing out a US Qwerty keyboard layout IMO
would be less confusing _and_ more helpful for the users.
While we are it, we can also add modern keyboard layouts like
US Dvorak to quail-keyboard-layout-alist. I can volunteer to do
this work.
