User Experience Design
Based mostly on older version of Windows system:
- In Chinese input mode (implicit) by default.
- Can switch to-and-from English input mode (英數), a.k.a. pass through mode, by either the top menu toggle or SHIFT button.
- The SHIFT button hot key is only triggered if only the SHIFT key is pressed an released. Prevent messing behaviour of other SHIFT+ situation.
- When toggled to English input mode, input engine stop processing any of the input and pass through to normal keyboard handling.
- Half-width / Full-width character mode only has effect in Chinese input mode.
- Top symbol signify both the input mode and the Half-width / Full-width character mode.
