uim for Debian -------------- * Related packages - You have to install conversion engines and interface packages to make uim useful for Japanese, etc.. Japanese: anthy: anthy, uim-anthy. canna: canna, uim-canna. skk: skkdic, uim-skk. t-code: t-code, uim-tcode. Others: m17nlib: libm17n-0, m17n-db, m17n-lib-bin, uim-m17nlib look: wordlist, uim-look. * Configuration (easy way) - im-config package will do for you. For user configuration, execute as: $ im-config For system wide default, execute as: $ sudo im-config You can enable GUI menu by right-clicking menu under GNOME -> "Edit Menu" and check menu entry to be activated. Then you can use this GUI menu for user configuration as "System" -> "Preferences" -> "Input Method" which runs "im-config". "System" -> "Preferences" -> "Input Method" and select "universal input method (uim)" This will enable first found status display dialogue from the following. - "uim-toolbar-gtk-systray" for systray (GTK+). - "uim-toolbar-gtk" for toolbar (GTK+). - "uim-toolbar-qt" for toolbar (Qt). Relogin to user account to refresh X session. - Use GUI tool, e.g., uim-pref-gtk which comes in uim-gtk2.0 to set up uim (choice between conversion engines etc.): Desktop -> Preferences -> Preference of uim Right clicking toolbar will also get you to "Preference". * Configuration (manual way) - You have to set environmental variable as following for classic X applications to use uim: XMODIFIERS=@im=uim; export XMODIFIERS - You may set environmental variable as following if you wish to use uim via XIM for GTK applications as the default. GTK_IM_MODULE=xim; export GTK_IM_MODULE Chosing XIM is considered to be less problematic. You can change IM by right clicking the GTK applications too. - You may set environmental variable as following if you wish to use uim IM module for GTK applications as the default. GTK_IM_MODULE=uim; export GTK_IM_MODULE - Deprecated method of uim configuration: * Write down default IM in ~/.uim. e.g) Set Anthy as default input method. (define default-im-name 'anthy) This is not compatible with GUI configuration described above. * Using uim-yahoo-jp - uim-yahoo-jp use Yahoo! JAPAN Web API. You register your Yahoo! JAPAN Application ID to use it in advance. See http://code.google.com/p/uim-doc-ja/wiki/UimYahooJp * Using uim-fep - You cannot input "shift-space" as generic-on-key and generic-off-key. But they are default global key settings. So you have to change generic-on-key and generic-off-key by uim-pref-*.
