Re: ever use scim anyone?

Hi,
There are CangJie and Simplex input tables in scim-tables package, you 
may look at scim-tables-0.1.0/zh/CangJie.txt and Simplex.txt. You may 
use generic table input method module to load these tables, actually if 
all things are OK, these tables will be automatically loaded when SCIM 
start. you may build and install scim-0.3.0 and scim-tables-0.1.0, and 
just run scim -c simple -d, then you can use scim CangJie or Simplex 
input method to input Chinese within your X Window client. Don't forget 
to set XMODIFIERS=@im=SCIM before running client programs.

The hotkeys of scim are very similar to xcin or chinput:

Ctrl+Space to Open/Close the input method
Ctrl+Shift to switch between defferent input method servers

The X11 FrontEnd of SCIM requires gtk+-2.0, and all text are rendered 
via gtk+, so you should have your pango correctly configured to display 
Chinese characters in order to run SCIM correctly.
