Turkish Characters 🇹🇷

A simple package to convert English characters to Turkish.

Vowels

Consonants

Criteria for the 'trigger character'

• Should be accessible with one key stroke.
  • This is why : is not good enough.
• Should be caps lock agnostic
  • This is why repetions are not good enough.
  • E.g. Ii and II should both be replaced with İ. What about iI? Is it İ or ı?
• It should come after the base character. It just feels more natural.
  • : won't work, e.g. "numbers: 1, 2, 3" would get replaced with "numberş 1, 2, 3"
• [base] + [trigger] is not a valid combination otherwise.
  • e after vowels: Goethe
  • x after consonants: Matrix
  • ': Marc's
  • -: i-- (programming)

Decision

- satisfies almost all of the criteria, except for one: it can have a special meaning in some programming languages. But I prefer i -= 1 over i--, you don't need it that often in most of the modern programming languages anyway (because we have for-in loops). And most people don't write code, so it should be okay. This why I decided to go with -.
