Description Mauricio Szabo 2008-08-15 06:48:23 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.1.0)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          4.1.2  Gentoo 4.1.2 p1.1
OS:                Linux

Back on KDE 3.5.9, there was SKIM integration (using a special use-flag on Gentoo, immqt-bc if I'm not wrong) that allowed me to enter japanese text. On KDE 4.1, this feature is missing. I really need this feature, so do you have plans to implement it?

   Further more, if I enable the environment variable to make SKIM work (QT_IM_MODULE=scim, and XMODIFIERS=@im=SCIM), accents doesn't work. So, I need to disable it at all when I'm running KDE4.1, and reenable it when I'm going into another window manager.

On Debian sid+experimental, I have been using scim-bridge-agent-client-qt4 (and the GTK+ and Qt3 client packages) together with skim 1.4.5, and set up env vars thus:

% echo $XMODIFIERS $GTK_IM_MODULE $QT_IM_MODULE
@im=scim-bridge scim-bridge scim-bridge

All applications use input methods correctly.

skim itself still depends on KDE3 libraries.

Comment 2 Mauricio Szabo 2008-08-16 01:56:22 UTC

Nope, this doesn't work for me. With scim-bridge, Qt4 applications still doesn't understand japanese input and accents and in Qt3 applications, japanese input works but accents stopped working (so I must go back to SCIM).

On GTK applications, with scim-bridge, both accents and japanese input works, with scim and scim-bridge, so I think this is a Qt3/4 bug.


(just a question, what is the difference between scim and scim-bridge?)

Comment 3 Ignacio Serantes 2008-12-10 20:35:52 UTC

I have the same problem with spanish and japanese and, sometimes, the keyboard don't work. I close skim and keyboard works again. If I run a KDE3 application all works well in it.
This problem with skim and KDE4 is annoying :(.

Is the issue reproducible currently?

Comment 5 Nate Graham 2020-09-29 04:17:03 UTC

Doesn't seem relevant anymore.
