Say I have a line
XXXX XXXX XXXX
and I want to put one chinese char in each of the two gaps. I go
to the first blank, select the correct char., then want to move to
the second blank with a few C-f ...
I type
b a n g 4 C-f
because i see the default choice is correct already
I dont need to select say the 3rd character with
b a n g 4 3 C-f
If I use just the 4 version, and not the 4 3 version, I will still
be in character select mode, and the C-f will just rotate choices
instead of moving the cursor... which is very unnatural after so
many years of habit.
Anyways, the feeling is "OK, I've already got what I want on the
screen, now can I please move around?" It seems that the easiest
way under the present scheme is to hit SPC Backspace, to break out
of character select mode... a wee bit easier to type than C-\.
Dan, I tried this, and it seems to me there's a very simple solution
that doesn't involve rebinding any keys. If I understand you
correctly, your problem is that you don't want to keep inputting
`bang4', having inputted it once correctly.
Let's try it:
XXX XXX XXX XXX
I'm going to insert 膀 (typed b a n g 4 in GB as you say) in each of
the 3 blank spaces.
I position myself in the 1st blank and type b a n g 4 and now have
XXX膀 XXX XXX XXX
and the point is positioned after the chinese char 膀.
Now I select the chinese char 膀 with the mouse by clicking mouse-3 on
the previous position.
Now the chinese char 膀 is in the kill ring, and I can paste it in the
other 2 SPCs with mouse-2. So two mouse clicks later I have:
XXX膀 XXX膀 XXX膀 XXX
Is that good enough? Did I understand you correctly?
