Please note current limitations of the algorithm:
- First found sequence is accepted, i.e. there might be better or more common ways of typing something on given keyboard.
- It is greedy, i.e. if you have keys K, KA and AH, typing KAH will be deemed impossible as the KA key will be used and there is no H key.
- It does not consider edits, i.e. it will claim A is impossible to type in the previous example, even though you could use AH and backspace.
- It does not combine dead keys with ligatures, i.e. if you had ˇ + C = Č rule and there were only ˇ and CE keys, typing ČE would be deemed impossible.
- It does not consider normalization equivalence, i.e. composite Ó cannot by typed using O and combining acute, either as a ligature or as separate keys.
