You can type in the alphabets of languages with click consonants with all the special letters! The currently supported language for this is Khoekhoe (also known as Nama and Khoekhoegowab). More languages may be added in the future.
To enable it, do the following:
- Click the search box at the top of the page.
- Click the little keyboard icon that appears near the search box.
- If your language name appears at the top of the list, select "Click consonants keyboard".
- If your language name doesn't appear at the top of the list, do the following:
- Click "..." at the bottom of the list. A panel will appear.
- Find your language name in the panel. Click it.
- Click the little keyboard icon again, and select "Click consonants keyboard".
To disable this special keyboard and go back to type usually, click the little keyboard icon and then click "Use native keyboard", or press Ctrl-M. To re-enable the keyboard, press Ctrl-M, or repeat the steps above.
