Description : Input method configuration framework
im-config package provides the framework to configure and to switch
the input method on X Window System. This input method is the essential
mechanism for Japanese, Chinese and Korean (CJK) languages to enter
their non-ASCII native characters.
.
Many modern input methods such as IBus support not only one of these CJK
languages but support almost all languages simultaneously by
dynamically switching keyboard modes with GUI helper program.
.
By installing this package, the most desirable input method and its
backend conversion engine are automatically configured with both the X
Window System Input Method (XIM), GTK input method module and Qt input
method module.
.
You can further customize your input method with 'im-config' command.
=====================================================================
This package is intended to replace im-switch which I maintain. All Chinese,
Japanese , Korean, ... Input Methods tends to rely on im-switch for their easy
configuration.
im-switch uses update-alternatives in very complicated way which makes quite
difficult to understand. This package solves it.
(Actually, I added GUI to im-switch, so it became easier ... but this s
maintenance night mare. This im-config solves it with easy code with GUI.)
