Restore combined Javanese keyboard option
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Based on this request on GitHub, one of the contributors shares concerns about a recent change that has split Javanese keyboards. In their own words:

After using it quite a while and rather intensively recently (among others, in Javanese Wikisource), I find this change highly inconvenient, mildly annoying, and unnatural. To switch between different input methods, I have to perform multiple clicks on a very small hovering window that always disappears. While I understand the intent, I highly doubt the current solution is ideal.

As per the suggested change, an ideal solution here would be to modify the following lines to include all three Javanese input methods: ['jv-keyboard', 'jv-transliteration', 'jv-kongres']:

This change would allow switching between the Javanese keyboards smoothly.

Thank you for tagging this task with good first task for Wikimedia newcomers!

Newcomers often may not be aware of things that may seem obvious to seasoned contributors, so please take a moment to reflect on how this task might look to somebody who has never contributed to Wikimedia projects.

A good first task is a self-contained, non-controversial task with a clear approach. It should be well-described with pointers to help a completely new contributor, for example it should clearly pointed to the codebase URL and provide clear steps to help a contributor get setup for success. We've included some guidelines at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/good_first_task/ !

Thank you for helping us drive new contributions to our projects <3

@Bennylin Although the new updates will take some time to appear in the ULS, do you think the proposed changes will help solve part of the problem, which is to display all three Javanese keyboards for both the Latin and Javanese script options?

@Bennylin This change has been deployed. Feel free to reopen the task if you are not satisfied with the outcome.
