Available Input Method Engines

Various IMEs (Input Method Engine) are available such as Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai, Indic, Unicode (HEX/OCTAL). IIIMF also supports various EMEA keyboard layout emulations such as French, Russian or Arabic. You can find the existing IMEs through Input Method Preference Editor (iiim-properties).

Asian IMEs that includes Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai, and Indic are available only when the corresponding locale support is installed.

The English/European IME (Latin input) mode enables input of some Latin characters with diacritical marks, for example, á, è, î, õ and ü, without using Compose key. For example, " + A generates Ä.

Table Lookup IME to input characters from Unicode character tables has been removed. Use the Character Map application (charmap) instead.
