Vomnibar: Search based on the keyboard layout (not actual characters), regardless of chosen language in keyboard #131
Comments
Currently there's no option to do this.
It seems possible to implement this strategy on Vomnibar, but I have not very much rest time to add and test it. Maybe I can finish it in this year...

Subject: [gdh1995/vimium-c] Vomnibar: Search based on the keyboard layout (not actual characters), regardless of chosen language in keyboard (#131)
Can we have an option to search based on the keyboard layout (not actual characters)?
Example of the problem:
When I search for "Calendar", I get this (the Google Calendar tab):
Sometimes though, I am in Greek keyboard, so the search (reasonably) does not work:
So, I lose time deleting the characters, changing the keyboard, write again, then changing the keyboard back to English, etc.
Solution:
This is what JetBrains does (it is not even an option, it is automatic):
Searching for "index" (works ok obviously):
Searching for "ινδεχ", which is "index" in Greek (still works!):
Is this already an option? If not, can it be done somehow?
Thanks!

Thank you! That would be great and a very useful feature for all international users! (this is why Jetbrains implemented it, it happens A LOT to be on the wrong keyboard setting when you search for something) |
Is it enough if Vomnibar only does search using English-alphabet version, when a current query (from IME) matches nothing? I need to know it because sometimes a user may do want to search some non-English text (like Chinese titles of web pages). |
That could be OK. This is what JetBrains does, which is even better: They show both the "selected language alphabet" results and the corresponding "english alphabet" results. So, you always have the "english alphabet" results, even when no result is found on the "selected language alphabet". You could implement it as you mentioned if that is much easier for you, it will still be a great addition! Thanks! |
@gdh1995 I have the latest version, I do not see the option to "ignore case" in options (neither does it behave as such automatically). Can you show us where we select this? Thanks a lot! |
@afilp you may add |
Thanks, it worked! Where is this process shown in the UI? It seems like hidden. I thought that this could be a check here (that would apply to all 3 variants, T, b, g): Thanks a lot, when you have time it would be perfect to also have the "find results even when typing in other language's characters). Thanks! |
Well, I think such a usage of As for this issue, I prefer a special checkbox for it, to let more notice it. But it's really very hard to maintain a list of English characters corresponding to what one types. I haven't got a good idea to implement it. There're also some other features in my TODO list, so maybe "adding it into find mode" will be delayed for months or even years. |
Thanks, I will try at some point to implement it up to a point (you know the internals better) in a new branch and show it to you so that you make adjustments, if possible. |
