   Hi, August Abolins! ->Alexander Koryagin   
   I read your message from 09.02.2020 06:00   
      
    AK>> If you now have the keyboard switch in your windows try to do this   
    AK>> again:   
      
    AK>> 1. go to https://russian.typeit.org/   
    AK>> 2. Type some Russian text there using the virtual keyboard. 3.   
    AK>> Change keyboard switcher of your computer to "RU". After that   
    AK>> select some Russian text with your mouse and copy it to the   
    AK>> clipboard. 4. Press "From clipboard" In the ReformatorQuoter.   
      
    AK>> PS: 5. Tell me the result   
      
    AA> That is brilliant. I *do* have multiple keyboards set up primarily   
    AA> for Latvian and English. Now, added RU.   
      
    AA> I can make is work, almost.   
      
    AA> In order to get a reasonable result, I have to,   
      
    AA> [1] switch keyboard to RU.   
    AA> [2] copy the Russian text at website into clipboard.   
      
   Yes. The main thing is "switch keyboard to RU" before copying into the   
   clipboard.   
      
    AA> [3] open Ref/Quo, switch to RU.   
      
   It doesn't matter if Ref/Quo is in the Rus mode or Eng mode. When you switch   
   the language in Ref/Quo you just replace the texts of the menu items.   
      
    AA> [4] press "From clipboard".   
      
    AA> ..but the text changes a bit.   
      
   ??. Ref/Quo makes only a few changes when you paste the text into it -- for   
   instance, on the web site there are quoter marks like << >>. Req/quo will   
   change them to the standard form "".   
      
   PS:   
   If you use Thunderbird for Fidonet you should know its unpleasant feature   
   (important only if you try to send messages with not English symbols):   
      
   Suppose, you set up an American ASCII coding page for your messages. If you   
   paste (into the Thunderbird editor) a text where even one symbol is not ASCII   
   (for instance an exotic quoter mark or a long dash) Thunderbird will   
   automatically change coding system in your message to UTF-8.   
   It is important for Fidonet -- in Fidonet almost nobody can read words written   
   in UTF-8. When you send your message with Russian letters the Russian words   
   will look as hieroglyphs for those whose editors support ASCII texts only.   
      
   In short -- if you paste a text into Ref/Quo [using "From clipboard" button]   
   it filters the text from all not ACCII symbols (or replace them with ASCII   
   analogs if they exist).   
      
   Bye, August!
