Feature request: select key notation/language

[CharHeap]

Currently the app's key notation (and language) seems to be set according to the system's language (e.g. values-de seems to be used in my case). It would be nice to have an option to select it manually.

Thank you for this wonderful app!

Yes, the key notation is based on the language.

Thanks for your interest in the app.

I guess you would prefer the English notation, since it regularly used also in other countries (like Germany)

So, there are two ways:

• Wait for Android 13, which allows app-specific setting of languages, but then the whole app will be English.
• We could say, the English system is not language-specific, but the "international" notation. And then have the extra option in the settings for "international" notation ... similar to the Do-re-mi-notation. Question is if it is worth, having such an extra setting? Downside is: more settings (I am rather trying to reduce the number of settings, they are too many anyway) and more code.

Would be good to have some opinions here.

Exactly. In my opinion having an additional switch preference, at least until Android 13 arrives, wouldn't hurt.

Thanks for the feedback. I will give it another thought, but it will take some time, since I am trying to finish other things first.

You can give it a try here: v5.4.0-rc1 ("international" in the "notation"-settings).

Is now official in v5.4.0.
