Present "System input method" option as a "Disable input method" action about jquery.ime HOT 7 CLOSED

This also causes bug while alternating between languages.

Steps to reproduce :

1. Choose Hindi language, transilteration is defaulted.
2. Disable IME using Control M, now system becomes default to Hindi
3. Chose Tamil language,, transilteration is defaulted.
4. Disable IME using Control M, now system becomes default to Tamil
5. Chose Kannada language,, transilteration is defaulted.
6. Change back to Hindi, expectation is system to be defaulted. Works fine
7. Control M, loads Kannada Transliteration while chosen language in Hindi

@srikanthlogic This bug is about changing the label of "System input method". Yours is separate bug. File it as different issue. Also make sure that you validate it against the latest source code.

@pauginer, where you would suggest the 'Disable input methods' link should be placed when we need to show it ? At present it is at bottom of the IMs available for a selected language. Do you want to it to be there only ?

Also, when you want to style it as link, you want it to be styled just like 'Help' link at the bottom ?

Attaching a screenshot for better visualisation.

If there is no other input method, a grayed text indicating "No input methods available" can be shown.

When such scenario is possible ? Wouldn't all languages will have at least one input method ( and only then it will qualify to be in the list of languages) ?

With the disabling of IME, we went in a different direction of the one described above. Applications integrating jqueryIME (e.g., MediaWiki), may want to support both (a) disable IME effects but keep the menu, and (b) remove completely the menu. The two kinds of disabling were presented in a different way in the menu:

• Input method disabling is presented as a "Use native keyboard" input method. The disabling is not emphasised in this case to avoid confusion with the "menu removal" scenario described below.
• The removal of the menu is presented at the bottom of the menu with a stroked keyboard icon. Applications adding this, should provide also a way to re-enable the menu.

Once both scenarios were considered, the issue I initially reported should have been closed.

I see. Which issue takes care of the re-envisioned scenario ? Do we have the stoked keyboard icon ? I guess we can present aforementioned as configuration options while initiating a plugin.

The disabling functionality and the stroked keyboard are added by the host application. For the case of the ULS, they are added by the MediaWiki extension. Maybe that can be moved to jquery.IME and allow to be enabled on creation. @santhoshtr can probably provide more info on whether this approach is preferred or not from an architectural point of view.
