User reviews

I'm using it from a Chromebook. It works for a lot of text entry boxes, but some cases don't work at all. GMail Google Docs This review text box. Discord I thought it was working on Discord, but then I discovered that as soon as I type another character after the "x" the special character reverts to the normal one (e.g. typing "acxa" ends up being "aca", even though briefly the "c" becomes a "ĉ". Telegram It seems to actually work for Telegram (web.telegram.org/z) but for some reason the "vx" option doesn't. I have to type "ux" even with the "vx" option enabled. I'm sure that this is due to those applications doing really special things with their text boxes. It does seem to work for keep.google.com. I figure it's worth keeping for the cases where it does work. Though, honestly, if the "ŭ" weren't so annoying to type on the US international keyboard (Right-Ctrl+shift+9 then "u") I might not bother. Same if the Esperanto-specific keyboard layout I can get on Android and Linux were available on Chromebook.

It works fine most of time. "ux" doesn't turn into "ŭ". The extension's suggest to use "vx" also doesn't work.
