Call for test for scim-bridge

[ZhengPeng Hou-2]

Hi all,
Since Kubuntu will ship with KDE4 in hardy, and
scim-bridge is the only one native immodule can
work with KDE4, scim-bridge can work fine
under Gnome/KDE3, also it can solve some input problems with
those non-free applications, like skype, adobe acrobat reader.
 so I think its worth to have scim-bridge
in main and as the the default immodule. I hope
that who are using a non-us keyboard variant can
test it for me. Need you feedback.
To use scim-bridge:
sudo apt-get install scim-bridge-agent scim-bridge-client-qt4 scim-bridge-client-qt scim-bridge-client-gtk
and then:
sudo ln -sf /etc/alternatives/xinput-all_ALL /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/scim-bridge

I suppose you know how to make scim/skim work. If you don't know
how to configure it, here is the trick you can follow:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/InputMethods/SCIM/Setup?highlight=%28InputMethod%29
You'd better to use im-switch to set it.

Cheers
Zhengpeng Hou

im-switch -s scim-bridge
will do it.

I have tested only with XKB layouts provided by the layout switcher
gnome applet. When scim is in English mode, "dead keys" don't work.
I.e. normally hitting the "dead key" (e.g. ') followed by a letter (e.g.
e) would produce the accented letter (é in this case). With scim-bridge
two codepoints (´e) are sent.

"Dead keys" work when using scim-immodule and xim (with Dynamic = true).
So, if you can fix this, then we might be able to use scim-bridge by
default.

Cheers
Arne

Hi.

I think I can do the test of scim-bridge by jp-106 keyboard

for you. However, I don't konw the processing of the testing and

what kind of info do you need to confirm the result.

Could you please give me some guide on this.

 

Regards.
