Make input methods play nicely with alternative keyboard layout on OS level
Let's suppose you have switched to an alternative keyboard layout. Chances are you're going to use that layout everywhere, not only in Emacs, so you set it up on the OS level or maybe you even get a special keyboard that uses that layout. Now suppose that you need to use an input method in Emacs. The nightmare begins: the input methods in Emacs translate Latin characters assuming the traditional QWERTY layout. With an alternative keyboard layout, the input methods do not work anymore. One solution is to define a new custom input method and call it for example `dvorak-russian'. But that is not a general solution to the problem—we want to be able to make any existing input method work with any Latin layout on the OS level. This package generates input methods knowing the input method that corresponds to the layout on the OS level and the input method you want to fix.
