So you are saying that the candidates are shown only when selection is
done by typing a digit?
Can we add an optional feature where the candidates will be shown even
in deterministic input methods, although the way to choose the
candidates is not by typing a digit? For example:
a["'/^_`~] " - ä ' - á / - å ^ - â _ - ª ` - à ~ - ã
or something similar?
Thanks.
