The current wikitext editor seems to be missing an option to easily add signature to talk page discussions. It would be nice if it was enabled in some way. Two possibilities are:
- Keyboard shortcut
- Option in menu bar
Expecting one soon!

The keyboard shortcut is ~~~~.
The option in the menu bar is halfway down in the Insert menu: Insert > More > Your signature.
Yeah, but when I was mentioning about signature I had the signature added by the old wikitext editor (- -~~~~) in mind. I guess a keyboard signature to add would be useful for users who are in a situation to sign often. (Obviously, this isn't required if Flow is used in places requiring user interaction)
Regarding the option, it would be better to show it more explicitly as a way of inducing the user to sign their posts in Talk pages and other pages where signature is required.
But for Me. I want to switch to engish keyboard layout from Malayalam first to get the ~ character. then press ~ four times is the only way. If i get a keyboard shotcut like Alt+Shift+S or something like that for this thing then it is a way better . If I am typing in english pressing a ~ four times is not a big deal. But changing the keyboard layout from Malayalam to english is a different scenario. Hope you understand.
Now my keyboard short cut is
Super+Space > Select English > ~ four times > Super+Space > Select Malayalam
What I expecting is
Alt+Shift+Somekey
No changing of keyboard layout Included.
Also I think lot of non latin people face this problem.
That's right. Other language editors would be a great audience of this shortcut.
