experimental

This plugin implements the very special feature: text input in the different languages and keyboard layouts, without having them installed on your local system. Only the requirement - browser should support Unicode fonts to display the whole range of characters.

Plugin is tested in Mozilla FF 1.5&2.0, IE6.0&7.0, Opera 9.02.
Javascript engine is considered stable, although it is still under the development. Known issues are described below.

• Turned on, keyboard does capture the real keyboard input and convert it to the virtual layout.

• Imcomplete Opera support - it does incorrectly handles non-alphanumeric keys in keyboard events, like layout-dependent key codes, mess control key codes with char ASCII codes (i.e. Del gives code 46, means '.' (dot) symbol). Also, Opera does not allow to process Alt key pressing.
• memory leakage and bad input performance after several reloads.
