First I used "im-switch -c" and chose from the GUI menu "Use SCIM via
IM_MODULE (scim-immodule)" which is equivalent to issuing the command:
"im-switch -s scim-immodule"
Then after a quit and re login, the following command
env |grep -e "IM"
yielded the following results
QT_IM_MODULE=xim
xmodifie...@im=scim
GTK_IM_MODULE=xim
Based on my past experiences with input method name "scim-immodule"
(script file: /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/scim-immodule) and looking at
contents of the same file's current version, my expectation is both
GTK_IM_MODULE and QT_IM_MODULE should get set to "scim" and NOT "xim"
since I have installed "scim-gtk2-immodule" and "scim-qtimm" .
As they are now, with each of the input method names "scim-immodule"
and "scim", each of the two environ variables get set to xim and so
making scim-immodule rather a redundant file.
While I have not tested any app requiring QT , in case of GTK based ones
in the two browsers: Firefox and Chromium-browser the keymaps are not
getting triggered when GTK_IM_MODULE=xim . In Chromium-browser there is
"Input Methods" on right click through which one can change to "scim" or
"scim-bridge" agents. But in Firefox it is not available and so with
GTK_IM_MODULE=xim the keymaps served from SCIM framework are not
available.
There are 2 issues:
1) Like in earlier versions can we have scim triggering (through
"control+space") even when GTK_IM_MODULE=xim
2) Can we have "scim-immodule" to set GTK_IM_MODULE=scim if scim-
gtk2-immodule is installed and QT_IM_MODULE=scim if scim-qtimm is set ?
