[Bug 1430416] Re: Should remember keyboard layout per conversation

 

I think this is very interesting, I have this issue on other platforms
as I often switch languages & need different OSK. I would have it in
settings so user can choose whether it's a global or conversation-
specific setting

  Should remember keyboard layout per conversation

Bug description:
  Steps:
  * go to a conversation
  * select a non-default keyboard layout
  * go to a different conversation
  * select a different keyboard layout
  * go back to the first conversation

  Expected:
  * the selected layout should be restored for each conversation

  Current:
  * layout is "global" for the whole session

  Thinking about the solution... it'd probably be best if text fields
  had a "context" property that the input method could read and restore
  layouts per context. If a field had no context, it would fall back to
  the generic behaviour - per-c

  Rationale: you generally change layouts per contact, to write to
  someone in a different language.
