As Bug 900907 mentioned, the current layout of symbol panels do not fit the Simplified Chinese user's requirement. We will make a minimal layout change to enhance the user experience.

Notes: 中/英 symbols do not completely correspond to full/half-width symbols. Actually, most of symbols in both 中/英 symbol panels are half-width, except for ， 。 ？ ！ ： ； …… ～ （ ） “ ” 、 __ 《 》 【 】 ＊ · in 中文 symbol panels

Hi Neo, I would like to know if you have any feedback about this spec. Thanks.

Hi Luke, It's OK for me. The most important is to fit local users' experience. Thanks.

Hi Pin, Xulei and Jing, This is a WIP version. Could you please help me check if the characters (unicode / half or full width) of every symbols are all correct? In addition, I have no idea which symbol is usually used in space key so I chose "⎵" in this version. Feel free to tell me if it is incorrect. Thanks.

@Luke, after confirmed with Jing, only the "…" character does not matching the design. For the Chinese mode(中mode), it should output "……"(two consecutive "…" characters); while for the english mode(英mode), it should output "…"(one "…" chracter). Other parts are all correct.

Hi Luke, the space character doesn't look good on the Unagi, please check this.

@Xulei, Thanks for your feedback. I'll fix it. @Pin, I'm looking for another character but can't find a suitable one. Maybe we need an image for that. BTW, I have two additional questions: 1. Should I remember last used page (1/1 or 1/2) when I click "中/英" button? (or default to 1st page.) 2. Since there is no layout else put a symbol on space key, should we put "⎵" on space key only in pinyin IME?

Yes, it's better to remember the page index when switching between "中/英" > 2. Since there is no layout else put a symbol on space key, should we put > "⎵" on space key only in pinyin IME? So, let's put "空格"/"Space" on the space key for "中"/"英" symbol panel

Hi Jing, Ok, I've modified it. Thanks. Hi Xulei and Rudy, I've sent a pull request. Could you please check if it fits user's need. Thanks.

@Jing, please make clarification about the following cases: 1. Switching between "中/英" should keep the symbol layout on the same page, or the last page? More specifically, if user switches from page 2 of "中“ to "英", should he goes to page 2 of "英" or the last page he visits, which may be page 1 of "英". 2. If user switches to symbol layout from Pinyin layout, should the IME resets to first page of "中" or shows the last page user visits, which may be page 1 of "英", or page 2 of "中"? 3. Will "空格“ be shown on the space bar of all Pinyin IME layouts, or only on the symbol layouts?

Comment on attachment 802160 [details] Pull Request Luke, I made a rough review of your pull request. Some issues need to be fixed. Please refer to the comments of the pull request. And I need Jing's information to perform further review.

Keep consistent INDEX when switching between "中"&"英". Example, "中-1"=>"英-1"=>"中-1"; "中-1"=>"英-1"->"英-2"=>"中-2". > > 2.
