Hi, I was studying how input methods work, as I need to integrate the hildon keyboard in ecore+etk. I believe we should use an approach similar to Gtk/Qt4. They have a similar approach to work with im modules, which IMHO should be a library independent of gtk/qt/ecore (freedesktop ^^) and everybody should use it. To take a look at details on how they do it see: http://www.kde.gr.jp/~asaki/how-to-support-input-method.html
Basically they have an interface where plugins for different input methods are implemented (XIM, SCIM, hildon-input-method, ...) and a api to use in applications, such as GtkEntry, ... I believe this is more extensible, portable way to integrate im support on ecore, among other things. What do you think?
