Extension summary
This extension allows you to type hiragana and katakana characters without downloading an IME.
To use: Type the pronunciation of the character you want into the input field, use up and down arrows to navigate and press enter to select.
Change notes below: Truth be told I had no idea that people were actually using this and had only chanced upon the comments in the reviews this morning while I was trying to publish one of a couple of terrible themes that I use while I'm at work.
The comments were all absolutely valid and I felt pretty bad that I hadn't addressed them sooner so I got working as soon as I got home. Please feel free to let me know what you think!
- Added a method to restrict the character set to only use hiragana or katakana
- Made exactly-matched characters appear first in the selection
- Refactored the code to be only slightly better than it was when I initially made this
