Sequence checking

In languages such as Thai, rules specify that certain characters are not allowed next to other characters. If Sequence Input Checking (SIC) is enabled, Collabora Office will not allow a character next to another if this is forbidden by a rule.

Use sequence checking

Enables sequence input checking for languages such as Thai.

Logical

Pressing the Right Arrow key moves the text cursor toward the end of the current text. Pressing the Left Arrow key moves the text cursor toward the beginning of the current text.
