Feature changed by: Todd R (TheBlackCat) Feature #307310, revision 7 Title: Good CJK / East Asian input support (esp. KDE) openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Markus K (kamikazow) Description: Setting up CJK support for typing kanji has always been a bitch for me and I always failed -- especially under KDE 4, even though I consider myself an experienced computer user. Wang Hoi developed an applet that should make it all easier. It's currently in KDE-Review. He wrote about it: http://qiacat.blogspot.com/2009/03/as-my-first-post-first-say-hello-to.html http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/plasma-devel/2009-May/005420.html Discussion: #1: Jan Engelhardt (jengelh) (2009-08-12 17:06:12) There is not much that can fail, actually. I think this is the simple procedure I used. 1. zypper in scim-anthy (package name depends on language you want) 2. perl -i -pe 's/^INPUT_METHOD=.*/INPUT_METHOD="scim"/' /etc/sysconfig/input 3. (log in again) 4. Shift-Space (IIRC; I changed my configuration to Ctrl-Alt-Space because Shift-Space is too easy to trigger in daily life). 5. Type SUSEは大好きだよ and profit. #2: Markus K (kamikazow) (2009-11-16 12:49:11) My suggestion is not about writing a whole new IM stack, but instead activating it easier and offering a native GUI for existing IM back- ends. Especially on KDE -- which is openSUSE's default DE -- there is no KDE GUI for switching input methods. In the KDE3 days there was SKim. There is a KDE4-based GUI (see the links above), but it's notshipped with openSUSE. + #3: Todd R (theblackcat) (2010-01-11 23:50:59) + As best as I can tell this, or something like it, is already present in + the KDE4 factory repository. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307310
