> International keyboard handling is very difficult. I was talking about a mostly western key layout, I don't even want to know what it's like to deal with non-western keyboard layouts (russian, greek, chinese, japanese, etc). The difficulty here is getting things like dead keys, key combinations (AltGr) and Compose right. Everything after that simply generates a Unicode string in the application. At which point the script is irrelevant. In fact, the difficult parts here happen completely below anything that needs text, so language or script is a non-issue at that point.
