Testing the typing tool

A typing tool is a component that allows keyboard strokes to be received as input. In this way users can enter characters and symbols not found on their input devices.

Set up your test environment

Enter <XXX: URL>
Select your language using the Universal Language Selector at the top.
1. Not every language has a typing tool. If your language does not have a typing tool, and you think it needs one, please have a look at the technical specification. If you cannot create a typing tool for your language, or do not have the time to do it, please request a typing tool at the GitHub issue tracker.

<XXX: Add screenshots>
