I've moved kimpanel applet into kdereview serveral weeks ago, now i'd like to ask for review.
It's under kdereview/plasma/applets/kimpanel "kimpanel" is short for "KDE Input method panel (applet)", it contains a plasma applet and also a standalone app (for users which don't use KDE). It's main features. 1. Support serveral backends: scim, ibus, fcitx, communicate with backend through dbus 2. Plasma themed. 3. Able to collapsed into the panel as usual applet, and also able to expand out to a small dialog kimpanel itself works just fine and stable For install instructions, see kimpanel/README, kimpanel/backend/ibus/README, kimpanel/backend/scim/README Known issues: 1. A bit complex to install(deploy), because how to set an input method is not standardlized, the current input method is readed from shell environment variable (GTK_IM_MODULE, QT_IM_MODULE), users can put it any where (.bashrc , .xinit), so i can't provide a portable way to automatically select the backend, i assume it's distro's job to provide a setup script. 2. fcitx backend is not very stable. 3. You can't use mouse hover and click to choose a candidate word with ibus backend. 4. If you use scim-bridge (not scim), enable/disable input method in scim's config dialog will hang Qt app, this is due to a bug in scim-bridge's qt input method plugin, the original gtk panel also hang that app. OK, that's all, sorry for annoncing it so late, until somebody told me that people need to be poked to review the code, they don't automatically review code under kdereview :( Regards, _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
