Setting Input Method Options

The input method options setting panel appears as below: Select the Input Method Options Setting item from the utilities menu

With the options setting tool screen, the user can set input methods options. After setting the options in this panel, click "OK" or "Apply". The setting will be activated.

For input methods based on the code table, there are 4 options that can be set:

Display candidates key by key:

• If this option is selected, each time a valid key is entered, the input method will search the dictionary table and display the candidates in the Lookup window.

• If this option is not selected, each time a valid key is entered, the input method only displays the key in the preedit area. If the "SPACE" key is pressed, the input method engine searches the dictionary table, and displays the candidates.

Display external codes:

• if this option is selected, the external codes for every candidate will appear in each Lookup window after the candidate is entered.

• if this option is not selected, the external codes for each candidate will not be displayed after the candidate.

This option can be used to study the input method. For example, to visualize the external code of a Chinese character in that input method.

Automatically commit if only one candidate

• if this option is selected, only one candidate for the external code, IM will automatically commit it

• if this option is not selected, IM will display it in Lookup window.

Display keymap character for every external code

• if this option is selected, when a valid key is entered the corresponding keymap character of the key will display in the Preedit area.

• if this option is not selected, the keymap character will not be displayed, only the key.
