KDE Input Method Panel

Acknowledgement

Translated "almost" verbatim from http://userbase.kde.org/Tutorials/Kimpanel_(zh_CN) (deprecated due to new translation system)

Introduction

kimpanel is a panel Plasmoid for various input methods with concurrent Plasma theme.

Input Method Panel

Right click desktop, choose Add Widgets, place the Input Method Panel plasmoid wherever you prefer.

fcitx-dbus

Support for FCITX has been in trunk since r294. Users are encouraged to upgrade.

svn co http://fcitx.googlecode.com/svn/trunk fcitx
cd fcitx
./configure --prefix=/usr && make && sudo make install
Tip
*Arch Linux users should check fcitx-dbus-svn in AUR. fcitx-svn is okey though.
Tip
*Kubuntu users should check fcitx-svn.


ibus

Install ibus as usual. Then

For Kubuntu 9.10 + KDE SC 4.4.x:

  • install kimpanel-backend-ibus
sudo apt-get install plasma-widget-kimpanel-backend-ibus
  • open systemsettings -> autostart, add
ibus-daemon --panel=/usr/lib/ibus/ibus-ui-kde
Note
ibus requires ibus-qt or ibus-qt4 to input special characters in KDE/Qt applications. (I doubt it --- there is XIM still.)


If the kimpanel Plasmoid is absent, please check $QT_IM_MODULE and set that to ibus.
