I think if we do have to go with the _ idea, it should probably be au_M for ॐ, and auM should remain औं as it currently is (coz ॐ is probably lesser used than औं). Also, since 'ं' is used much more than ॐ, its best to keep its input as stable as possible. Also (unrelated to this bug), the idea suggested on hi-wp was for a breaker key, typing which would ensure that joining rules are not applied on the next keystroke (i.e the next keystroke is rendered independent of combining rules, using only the basic input rules). So if = is the breaker key, writing a=u would output अउ instead of औ. This could probably also be made to work like: if the breaker key is pressed once, the first matching rule is skipped and the next one applied. If it is pressed twice, the first two matching rules are skipped and the third rule applied and so on. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
