I'm now thiking about adding a mechanism to switch to and
back from another input method by a specific escape key
(e.g. "/"), and allow users to customize which input method
to switch by which escape key.
Then we can add various kinds of input methods for symbols,
and allow users to use what he prefers.
That is a good idea as long as
a] this switching is easy [Even using ibus with m17n it is possible to switch through various input methods using a shortcut key. But doing so is laborious (I use 4 different input methods and cycling through them takes time.)]
b] We include some switches by default. [Many users don't want to have to configure things - Eg: I cannot expect my parents to make even simple changes to configuration files.]
