IM Chooser ============= IM Chooser is a GUI configuration tool for Input Method to choose the Input Method to be used or disable Input Method usage on the desktop. How does IM Chooser work? ============================ IM Chooser relies on xinput.sh script that you may need to install it onto the proper place where your system provides a hook to bring something up during X server is starting, such as /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d on Fedora and /etc/X11/Xsession.d on Debian. For XIM servers, you will have to provide symlinks for them with ll_CC style of locale on /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d by default (it's configurable with --with-xinputdir option). if your system has alternatives system, it might stands to do so. Also, you can drop the improper XIM servers from the selection list if you specify --with-xinput-suffix and no such suffix is given to the xinput script of XIM servers, because im-chooser tries to pick up the xinput script with the name + --with-xinput-suffix. therefore "xim" xinput script provided by this displays the proper XIM servers for your language then. What variables are available for the IM specific configuration? ================================================================== XIM For settings of XIM. actually it will be used like XMODIFIERS=@im=$XIM. XIM_PROGRAM A XIM server be brought up to communicate through XIM protocol. XIM_ARGS can be used to give any options for XIM_PROGRAM. GTK_IM_MODULE For GTK+ immodule. QT_IM_MODULE For Qt immodule. IM_CHOOSER_IGNORE_ME For something like that it shouldn't be chosen directly but another one can handle it. if this appears in IM specific configuration, IM Chooser just ignore it and hide it from the custom choices. AUXILIARY_PROGRAM an optional program that may want to bring up for IM. AUXILIARY_ARGS can be used to give any options for AUXLIARY_PROGRAM. PREFERENCE_PROGRAM an optional program that sets up the input method. This program will be brought up from im-chooser. PREFERENCE_ARGS can be used to give any options for PREFERENCE_PROGRAM. SHORT_DESC an optional short description to explain the input method. This variable is particularly used to display the input method name at the input method selection list. otherwise XIM variable will be used for that. LONG_DESC an optional long description to explain the input method. This variable isn't actually used yet.
