A long time in the making, I am finally making "Key Curry" public!
"Key Curry" is a web application and set of web components that allows one to easily type many world languages and specialized orthographies on the web. Please check it out and provide me feedback: http://unifont.org/keycurry/ In addition to supporting major world languages and orthographies, I hope that "Key Curry" makes it easy for language advocates and web developers to provide support for the orthographies of minority languages -- many of which are not currently supported (or are only poorly supported) by the major operating system vendors. Under the hood, the software uses a javascript user interface framework that I wrote called "Gladiator Components" along with the popular "jQuery" javascript library as a foundation. I have used HTML 5 technologies such as localStorage to implement certain features. Currently, Key Curry appears to work well in the latest versions of Google Chrome, Firefox, and Safari on devices with standard QWERTY keyboards (e.g. laptops, desktop computers, netbooks, etc.). Recent versions of Opera and Internet Explorer version 9 appear to have bugs which limit the ability of Key Curry to operate as designed. The app is not likely to work well on older versions of any browser. I have not yet tested IE 10 on Windows 8. Although Key Curry appears to load flawlessly on the very few Android and Apple iOS tablet and/or mobile devices that I have "dabbled" with, the virtual keyboards on those devices are very different from physical keyboards and I have not yet investigated that problem area at all - so don't expect it to work on your iPad or other mobile device. Constructive criticism and feedback is most welcome. I have many additional plans for Key Curry "in the works" - but I'll leave further commentary to another day! - Ed
