830 | I have problems getting my input method working. |
|
|
831 | Try a search engine, as this is slightly different for every input |
|
|
832 | method server. |
|
|
833 | |
|
|
834 | Here is a checklist: |
|
|
835 | |
|
|
836 | - Make sure your locale *and* the imLocale are supported on your OS. |
|
|
837 | Try "locale -a" or check the documentation for your OS. |
|
|
838 | |
|
|
839 | - Make sure your locale or imLocale matches a locale supported by your |
|
|
840 | XIM. |
|
|
841 | For example, kinput2 does not support UTF-8 locales, you should use |
|
|
842 | "ja_JP.EUC-JP" or equivalent. |
|
|
843 | |
|
|
844 | - Make sure your XIM server is actually running. |
|
|
845 | - Make sure the "XMODIFIERS" environment variable is set correctly when |
|
|
846 | *starting* rxvt-unicode. |
|
|
847 | When you want to use e.g. kinput2, it must be set to "@im=kinput2". |
|
|
848 | For scim, use "@im=SCIM". Youc an see what input method servers are |
|
|
849 | running with this command: |
|
|
850 | |
|
|
851 | xprop -root XIM_SERVERS |
|
|
