Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; CrOS x86_64 8350.68.0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/52.0.2743.116 Safari/537.36 Platform: 8350.68.0 (Official Build) stable-channel peppy Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Use Hebrew Keyboard. 2. Attempt to insert vowels. 3. What is the expected behavior? Keyboard should possess an option to enter niqqud (Hebrew vowels). What went wrong? There appears to be no way to type Hebrew vowels, even in Google docs, which accepts Hebrew vowel input from other operating systems. Did this work before? N/A Chrome version: 52.0.2743.116 Channel: n/a OS Version: 8350.68.0 Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 22.0 r0

Tried on all methods I know of for adding vowels, none worked. warx@ how hard would you think it would be to add such support See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niqqud#Macintosh as an example

Not sure on this part. But I am interested to take a look.

abodenha@: why did you add OS=Android? Chrome on Android does not have its own kbd but it just relies on whatever keyboard/IME OS has (either out of the box or user-installed kbd apps).

Xiangye@, can you get warx@ in touch with a team that has worked on CrOS input ? Thanks

shuchen@: what'd be the best way to implement one of methods described in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niqqud ? BTW, we need to figure out which is the most widely used (and/or the best) method (among those described above)

I think the best way to implement it is to define a new XKB symbol file with dead keys (like how we input ĕ, á, etc. in US International keyboard).

jshin@, I feel this would require some inputs from i18n team for the CrOS keyboard layout standards. Something like this: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/19rS9q8Rf6NxcDk_iXdPB14PQfmeNniUrMtS4Q5LBvo4/edit#slide=id.ga28ac0e9e_0_68 I can help to update the XKB symbol file per the requirements.

Thanks for keeping this conversation going. Our elementary school could convert entirely to Chrome OS were this feature were available.
