Processing cancelling payment on customer complain ``` and more! Motivation ---------- [](#motivation) This component is made just to make life better: tabs, dots and commas are more easy to type in. Even in Russian keyboard layout or whatever u want. God bless Hamish Friedlander and [SilverStripe Limited](www.silverstripe.com) for the php-peg parser.
