--- Comment #7 from Shai Berger <s...@platonix.com> --- Hi, I want to support Eyal's suggestion here. Some background: I was involved with the Hebrew keyboard layout standardization effort which led to the inclusion of Maqaf in the layout; in fact, I authored that part of the "il" XKB symbols file. AFAIK, the alt+- key combination produces a Maqaf on Windows too, since Windows 10. I think the suggestion to use an emoji-like construct (":+-:"), is missing the point: Because of decades of this character not being available on keyboards; and the fact that it's a 3rd-level key, meaning it is still not engraved on most physical keyboards, people have been taught not look out for it. However, since it is still used in newspapers and books, its use will make texts look better, and people will be happy to see it offered to them. I think it is comparable, culturally and technically, to the fixing of ordinal numbers (where 4th is changed to 4^th): - It is something which makes text look much nicer; most users would just not bother to find the option to do it themselves, but would be happy to see the computer do it for them; - There are contextual constraints on the transformations -- th is transformed in "4th" and "1234th", but not in "a4th" (not pure number before) nor "4thd" (not end-of-word after). Considering your question if this belongs in localized options -- I'm not sure. The number suffixes are localized, as they change from language to language. "Capitalize first letter of every sentence" isn't, as it is apparently relevant to all users of Latin, Greek and and Cyrillic scripts. I think this feature is closer to the latter -- relevant to all users of the Hebrew script (the two most significant languages are Hebrew and Yiddish, you can see some uses in Yiddish at https://yi.wikipedia.org/), but I'll accept the argument that the whole script is fringe enough to put the option in "localized". -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
