GI.Gtk.Objects.IMContextSimple

GtkIMContextSimple is an input method supporting table-based input methods.

Compose sequences

GtkIMContextSimple reads compose sequences from the first of the following files that is found: ~/.config/gtk-4.0/Compose, ~/.XCompose, /usr/share/X11/locale/$locale/Compose (for locales that have a nontrivial Compose file). A subset of the file syntax described in the Compose(5) manual page is supported. Additionally, include "%L" loads GTK’s built-in table of compose sequences rather than the locale-specific one from X11.

If none of these files is found, GtkIMContextSimple uses a built-in table of compose sequences that is derived from the X11 Compose files.

Note that compose sequences typically start with the Compose_key, which is often not available as a dedicated key on keyboards. Keyboard layouts may map this keysym to other keys, such as the right Control key.

Unicode characters

GtkIMContextSimple also supports numeric entry of Unicode characters by typing <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>-<kbd>Shift</kbd>-<kbd>u</kbd>, followed by a hexadecimal Unicode codepoint.

For example,

Ctrl-Shift-u 1 2 3 Enter

yields U+0123 LATIN SMALL LETTER G WITH CEDILLA, i.e. ģ.

Dead keys

GtkIMContextSimple supports dead keys. For example, typing

dead_acute a

yields U+00E! LATIN SMALL LETTER_A WITH ACUTE, i.e. á. Note that this depends on the keyboard layout including dead keys.

class (GObject o, IsDescendantOf IMContextSimple o) => IsIMContextSimple o

Type class for types which can be safely cast to IMContextSimple, for instance with toIMContextSimple.
