This definitely needs tests. In addition, can you please explain the motivation for the keyboard? From what I heard, Indonesian is usually written without diacritics.

I will write some tests.

The purpose is to accommodate writing in Indonesian Wikipedia, Wikisource (old spellings), and Wiktionary, where many articles include the local names in various local languages in Indonesia. Thus, this is the keyboard that provides all the special Latin letters from Javanese, Madurese, Nias, Sundanese, Acehnese, Banjarese, Minang, Batak, etc.

Also, in Indonesian language spelling standard (2015), actually the e accent are recognized and the letter 'e' could be written with different accent to avoid ambiguity

Have you considered doing something more like the Yoruba or Fon Tilde keyboards? In them, you first write a letter and then a combination of ~ and characters like ', `, ^, etc.

Have you considered doing something more like the Yoruba or Fon Tilde keyboards? In them, you first write a letter and then a combination of ~ and characters like ', `, ^, etc.

Do you mean these:

			[ '~\\\\', '\u0300' ], // Combining grave
			[ '~/', '\u0301' ], // Combining acute
			[ '~\\^', '\u0302' ], // Combining circumflex
			[ '~\\-', '\u0304' ], // Combining macron
			[ '~v', '\u030C' ] // Combining caron

That would be two code points, no? 'e' + acute, or 'e' + grave. Preferably the result should be only one single code point.

It would be ideal to have a documentation for the keyboard on wiki and then update the URL in the code later.
