Dead-key highlighting

Keyman Keyman Feature Requests
1

Hello,

On Windows the dead key is hidden until you hit another key to form a combination, however, on macOS with native keyboard layouts, you immediately see the dead key highlighted, which then gets replaced after hitting the next key.

For example, we type

1-tilda

then

2-iota-sub

and then η to get

3-eta

It is very handy to see what you type in real-time.
I just wonder, is it possible to have such behavior on the keyman platform?

Thank you for the suggestion. @Matthew_Lee had also requested this feature several years ago. It’s on our roadmap, but it will be a few release after we consolidate the OSK behavior across all our platforms.

I’ll add your details to the existing issue:

I look forward to seeing this feature on Windows or Linux.

Thanks
