When running XDarwin (based on XFree86) on MacOSX,
it is possible, even desirable, to have the OS
handle all
the keyboard layout.
The main case where this is an issue is in Asian
languages. For asian languages, it would be
desirable
to have the OS handle the input method (IME).
In this case, key presses need to be sent to the
IME
instead of the client, and when the IME sends
back
the actual value it should be sent to the X client
in
such a way that the keysym gets converted to
the
Unicode value.
One possibility would be to use the OS's built-in
IME
instead of Wnn or
Canna as the back-end for
kinput2.
In searching for a Japanese IME for X, I found
references
to XIM. I found a band called XIM out of the
UK, but that
doesn't help :-) It appears that kinput2 and Wnn or Canna are what
I need, but I
can't find where to actually download source
from. I found RPMs for Intel-based systems,
but Macs
are not Intel :-(
