23 hours	input: Add my own keyboard layout.HEAD master	JSDurand
	* input-conf.el ("durand-fr"): I use a French layout, where the arrangements of the keys are quite different than the "standard" layout, so previously it was quite inconvenient to use the quail packages, as I had to translate in my mind to the standard layout, so that the quail package can understand and input the correct keys. Today I discovered that the quail package actually provides a solution to this problem by the variable `quail-keyboard-layout`, which defines how to translate from a keyboard layout to the standard one. By defining my current French layout, I am now finally able to smoothly use the quail packages. One caveat is that the Chinese quail packages are generated from some dictionary files automatically, and the converter missed this functionality, so that by default the Chinese quail packages do not respect this keyboard layout translation. Currently I am overwriting the generated package, but clearly this is not a good practice. I might consider saving the generated and overwritten file to a special file, so that I can continue using that overwritten version in the future.
47 hours	input: Convenient toggling between frequently used methods.	JSDurand
	* input-conf.el (durand-input-method-list): This is a list of my frequently used input methods. (durand-toggle-input): A function to choose amongst the above list of input methods. This function reads a method in the "headlong" manner, so that oft one only needs to press a letter to select an input method, making it behave sort of like a more flexible keymap. (global-map): Replace the binding of the function `toggle-input-method` by the above function.
