3 months ago As I may have mentioned elsewhere, FeatherPad includes no special code for Chinese, Japanese, Korean, or any other language, whether it's Asian or not. Anything you may see is done by Qt. Apps like KWrite or Kate may have codes specific to some languages.
I don't have a plan to add language-specific codes to FeatherPad, but even if I did, I couldn't do it for the above-mentioned languages because I know nothing about them. If extra codes are needed, they should be added by contributors who know them. A cleaner solution would be that Qt should handle them like other languages, i.e., the solution should be implemented in Qt itself.
I'll leave this report open for a while. Clean and concise workarounds would be very appreciated.
For example, if I type "한글" in "Replace with", "글" is still in the composition mode, and only "한" gets inserted. I tried the same thing with KWrite, and this did not happen in KWrite. Also, it happens with Japanese. But unlike Japanese, where you frequently type Chinese letters and you always press enter to confirm the composition, Korean doesn't usually don't press a key to end the composition, because Korean people rarely type Chinese letters.
