It works independently of any input method that the operating system may supply; it is intended for when you don't have control over your keyboard mapping and still need to input text in other languages. To use KHIM, bring up the KHIM Controls (the way this is done depends on your application) and enable KHIM by checking "Use KHIM". You also need to choose a key on your keyboard that is seldom used, and designate it as the "Compose" key by pressing the button labelled, "Compose key:" then striking the key you wish to designate. Generally speaking, this key should not be the key designated as "Compose" on the keyboard; that key will continue to invoke whatever input method the local operating system supplies. Once KHIM is enabled, you can enter international characters in any widget that is configured to use KHIM by pressing the Compose key followed by a two-character sequence. The listbox in the KHIM controls shows the available sequences. In addition, if you strike the Compose key twice, you get a dialog that allows you to input arbitrary symbols from a Unicode character map. In the map, you can navigate among the characters using either the cursor keys or the mouse, and you can select the current character for insertion by double-clicking it, pressing the space bar, or pressing the Enter (or Return) key. To define a new sequence for use with the Compose key, bring up the KHIM controls, enter the two characters in the "Input key sequence" entry and the desired character to insert into the "Character" entry, and press "Change". (You may copy and paste the character from another application, or use the "Unicode..." button (or press the Compose key twice) to select the character from a map of all available Unicode code points.) To remove a sequence, select it in the listbox and press "Delete". } ::msgcat::mcset {} {SELECT COMPOSE KEY} [string map [list \n\t \n] { Please press the key that you want to use as the "Compose" key. }] }
