They were planning to sunset Connexion in the near future so they said they
were not actively working on it. However, now it seems they are going to
keep it around, so it is worth to insist in some of our former suggestions.

Two of these points:
1. If you use both Hebrew and Latin alphabets in the same field (which
happens often on RDA), the left-to-right disposition is working poorly.

2. Special character typing is a-ok for Hebrew. However, if you type in
Catalan, Spanish, French, etc. you still need to introduce special
characters based on key combinations. It should be easier to just use the
Windows keyboard layer and type à ç û with it, instead of finding the
corresponding Connexion keystrokes.

My five cents.
