GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 315199
Palettes should be sensitive to current locale
Last modified: 2020-11-07 12:25:47 UTC
It would be really useful if charpick was sensitive to the current locale and offered characters as appropriate. For example, it would be useful if when charpick loaded it recognised that I was using cy-GB, and offered me the characters ŴŵŶŷ to begin with.
Note that it is probably more common for charpick to be used for characters *not* used by the current locale language, as those characters will usually be available via the keyboard. So for a feature like this to be generally helpful, it would need to know the keyboard type in addition to the locale.
Nope, pallettes should have a language configurable entry by default.
Also see bug 342259. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_modern_Latin_alphabet lists latin alphabets and their special letters per language.
... plus current sorting is in http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-applets/tree/charpick/charpick.c

If you still use gnome-applets and if you are still requesting this feature in a currently supported version of GNOME (currently that would be 3.38), then please feel free to report it at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-applets/-/issues/ Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry it could not be implemented.
