Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.5) Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages OS: Linux It would be very useful to add feature for changing layout in which message is entered. This applies to non-english users, whose writes messages in outher than english layout. This feature already exists in QIP ICQ messenger (qip.ru) for Windows. In QIP you can press ctrl+r to change layout of selected entered text in currently editing message (if no text selected layout changes in all message). For example if you entered russian text in english layout you will see something like this: "Plhfdcndeq Vbh!", and after changing layout (and entering once more) "Здравствуй мир!" ("Hello World!" in russian). Thanks!
I had title this wish more like "Automatic keyboard layout switching".
You might want to check out XNeur for this functionality. Doubt it is worth doing on the DE-level.
Dear user, unfortunately Kopete is no longer maintained. Please migrate to another solution, e.g. for Jabber a possibility is Kaidan, for Matrix a candidate is NeoChat.
