In the skim configuration dialog I can enter keyboard shortcuts to enable/disable scim and to change to the next input, but they don't seem to be effective.
Did you click on "Reload config"?
I've played a bit around, especially with the input methods since they are easier to see. (I use kconfig and scim-panel-kde.) Setting the values and clicking Ok, Apply does not change anything. Running now scim-config-agent --reload, reloads the modules but doesn't change anything menu wise in skim. Then I tried to restart skim. There is _no_ option in the kicker applet nor in the scim configation dialog. What I had to do was: (a) adding the reload icon to the symbol bar and (b) enable scim. Then I could click on the reload bar which caused skim to crash and prevented any further keystroke. Something similar happens if I dare to click on Exit in the kicker app.
scim-config-agent -s /Hotkeys/FrontEnd/Trigger=Control+Alt+Shift+space scim-config-agent --reload
tob@tux:~> scim-config-agent -s /Hotkeys/FrontEnd/Trigger=Control+Alt+Shift+space Set data success. tob@tux:~> scim-config-agent --reload Configuration reload request has been sent to the running scim. tob@tux:~> scim-config-agent -g /Hotkeys/FrontEnd/Trigger Control+Alt+Shift+space Hmm, ctrl-space still activates the mode, but shift-alt-space does now as well; but the skim config had still the old option (ctrl-space and shift-space, the latter never worked for me). (Changed that but didn't hit reload 'cause I don't want to restart X11.) ps shows by the way these processes: skim /usr/lib/scim-1.0/scim-helper-manager /usr/lib/scim-1.0/scim-launcher -d -c kconfig -e all -f socket --no-stay /usr/lib/scim-1.0/scim-launcher -d -c socket -e socket -f x11
Maybe it should be allowed to disable keybindings by setting them to empty? Zhe Su, what do you think?
Hmm, better would be some methode to disable it which leaves the keys untouched.
Looks like you need to reload the config.
Well, does not seem to work; but I actually didn't try reload in skim ...
Question of the complete novice in Chinese: Next to the input parameter field I see with "intelligent pinyin" a button labeled "中" and three other symbols still unknown to me. What is ment by those?
The symbol which looks like a crescent moon toggles between full width and half width. You can use that for example to write full with LAT IN. The next button to the right which shows a period and a comma toggles between the full width and the half width forms for punctuation.
Well, I actually ment what happens when you click on the "中" button and toggle it. But thanks to make me fully understand how half/full symbols work.
I figured out that, e.g., unicode works by entering the entering the hex code of the character, but what means "unicode", "utf-8",
No, the 4 digit Unicode code point, i.e. UCS2 (=UTF-16 in the BMP).
Well, I ment the hexencoded number shown in the unicode charts at http://www.unicode.org/charts/ since I saw somewhere the decimal version of it (Word or OpenOffice, I forgot).
"de" next to it?
"de" next to what?
I don't see it in the moment, maybe it was the gnome version which I think I had at one point (I think I clicked exit in the kicker app and then I had suddenly two kicker apps, one of which was seemingly the gnome version.') Tobias
