Hello, I have been using the KDE keyboard layout applet to type different languages. I recently learned that uim or scim could be a better method.
To test these out, I installed scim. Then, following some web pages fround via goodle, I put these in ~/.bashrc #stuff for scim to work GTK_IM_MODULE=scim XIM_PROGRAM="scim -d" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Then I put this in ~/.scim/global /DefaultKeyboardLayout = US_Default /DisabledIMEngineFactories = /SupportedUnicodeLocales = en_CA.utf8,pa_IN.utf8,hi_IN.utf8,en_US.UTF-8 because my locale is en_CA.UTF-8. And also started scim after loggin in: $> scim -d $> cat ~/.scim/global Now I have the little keyboard applet on the KDE panel. I can also right click on it and set the preferences using SCIM Setup option. It also lists all the various input languages. However, no matter what I do (CTRL+Space or other combinations), I am not able to change the input method to a different language. If somebody is familiar with scim, can you explain what I could have missed? thanks, ->HS PS: This is on Debian testing. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
