I have been learning my languages, Japanese and Chinese.
I began with SCIM, but I had a huge issue that I couldn't type Japanese or Chinese into xterm, so I moved to UIM.
UIM has uim-fep, which would give me the ability to do so, but this wouldn't do.
Using uim-fep, means I can't do a Ctrl + Space (I changed the Shift + Space to Ctrl + Space) and it would active UIM.
I was able to make uim-xim work. I could Ctrl + Space and I can write Japanese or Chinese.
The way I did it was by putting `uim-xim &` at the end of my .xinitrc :
export GTK_IM_MODULE=uim
export QT_IM_MODULE=uim
export XMODIFIERS=@im=uim
export XIM_PROGRAM=uim-xim
exec /usr/local/bin/enlightenment_start
uim-xim &
I would then put uim-xim in the front of commands. In Enlightenment, you are able to have apps on a bar, like a Mac, and edit the icons do it did a certain command.
My xterm was : uim-xim ; xterm -u8 -fa "Ming(of ISO10646)" -fs 10
It worked until I started playing around. The reason is that after it loads I would have to click xterm twice before a window appears. It would also slow down my machine so I wanted to see if there is a quiker way. I haven't found any yet, so this is why I am here. I would like to know if there is a quick way or suggestions of other ways.
What I did realise is that uim-xim after the exec of enlightenment does nothing. Well it doesn't appear on ps -ALF.
