If you launch an application with LANG=th_TH providing that you have th_TH locales support from the locales package, you could then use xkb to input thai character. Since I use only Thai keybord, I have my xkb set up in XF86Config. You can use "setxkbmap th" to set up the keyboard too. Use recent XFree86 (since 4.1), of course. KDE also has a panel for setting up keyboard map. The default key map change between thai and english is alt-lshift for english (first iso group), and alt-rshift for thai (last iso group). > $ txiterm > and type F1 and 'd' inputs the first Thai character (though > I don't know the name of the character). On Kedmanee key board, the charactor on "d" is "Kor Kai". Take a look at the thai xkb map. It has all the name. "xev" will also tell you the name too, "LANG=th_TH xev". The "F1" and "ctrl-space" hack for xiterm+thai is there for X that does not have thai xkb support e.g. running remotely on sun box. > I'd like to know > how to type keyboard to input Thai characters using Thai XIM. As above. > (txiterm is 'LANG=th_TH /usr/bin/xiterm -fn nectec18 -cursorColor yellow \ > -cursorColorThai red'.) yup, I default the wrapper to default XMODIFIERS which I think it is @im=BasicCheck . regards, Chanop -- ,----------------------------------------------------------------. | May Debian be with you ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ chanop@debian.org| | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ http://thai.anu.edu.au| `----------------------------------------------------------------'
