I use ports/inputmethods/uim with both terminal and GUI applications and it works just fine. I have it set up to use both anthy (for Japanese input) and IPA (via X-SAMPA input). CTRL-Shift gets me Japanese, and then ALT-Space gets me IPA input. Japanese input works just fine in the terminal, and so does IPA input. Sometimes it's difficult to figure out what key inputs what, in which case I look through /usr/local/share/uim/ipa-x-sampa.scm ˌɪntɚˈnæʃənl̻ fʌˈnɛtɪk ˈælfəˌbɪt I just typed that with my keyboard (no copying or pasting) though I had to have the above-mentioned ipa-x-sampa.scm file open to reference some of the diacritics :) I would imagine that any IME (like UIM or SCIM) would be the most "standard" way to do things. It certainly beats copy/pasting things (as I've done before on occasion). -- Bryan
