I'M BACK with my plea to PLEASE bring back the vowel markings native to MacOS keyboard
It's been a few months since my last plea, and with L9 coming out, it did not surprise me that my request was met with crickets from Logos/Faithlife...
But now that I bit and bought the system upgrade for L9, I installed it hoping that I would be able to press and hold a vowel on my Mac keyboard and have that vowel marking option window populate overhead.
But alas...when I typed, I typed didooooooooooomi instead of didōmi (see, I can use it in this window, but not the app itself!)
And that workaround that was suggested to me several postings before—that I use the keyboard viewer and find the marking there? That gives me didõmi instead of didōmi.
And to make it more frustrating...that workaround was totally useless when I wanted to simply type agapē. I would find myself typing agap˜e, which looks totally ridiculous. So I would go for a (perhaps) less ridiculous option: agapë. But that is a different sound still than agapē. Or, I would press and hold the "e" and get agapeeeeeeeeee.
So at the risk of being redundant, allow me to review my numerous posts to this forum in the past:
Back in the day of Logos 7 for Mac, I was able to utilize the vowel marking feature native to the Mac keyboard (i.e., I was able to press and hold the vowel key until the vowel marking options populated in a window above the vowel, then I was able to select the mark I wanted and we were good to go). But starting a couple of updates into Logos 8, that capability went away. I have had to substitute markings that were similar but not accurate (for instance, I have to use echõ instead of echō, and agapë instead of agapē). But since I copy some of these notes into Evernote, I am able to correct those markings in Evernote, since that app utilizes the Mac keyboard capabilities.
So, will this plea to Logos to please include this feature get met with crickets yet again?

I didn't know about your first request and I didn't know about this feature. I don't have much use for it, but it sounds like a göød rèqūêst! [:)]

For clarification: The ability to long press a vowel and get markings DOES work in some text fields but NOT in notes.
You mentioned that this previously worked... I assume that this was broken when FL transitioned to the new notes engine. I don't know if they will be able to fix it or not. [:s]

I have not been able to make it work in ANY text fields in the app.
But, as you can see on a web page, I can make it work jûst fīne, thānk yoū.
In fact, when I access Logos online, I can utilize the feature.
The app? Uh-uh

I created a new post: https://community.logos.com/forums/p/198514/1150698.aspx#1150698
Hopefully we can get some movement. It appears that this happened with the release of the "new notes" tool... which was in beta in L7, and released to everyone in L8.
I hope that this is something that can be fixed, but the notes tool utilizes third party code. Hopefully that isn't the problem. [:s]

Nope, but I fixed that mistake faster than FL has fixed this one. [:O] [:S] [:)]
