KDE Input Method Panel Template:I18n/Language Navigation Bar

Acknowledgement

Translated "almost" verbatim from http://userbase.kde.org/Tutorials/Kimpanel_(zh_CN) .

Introduction

"kimpanel" is a panel Plasmoid for various input methods with concurrent Plasma theme.

kimpanel

Information

"kimpanel" is in the kdeplasma-addons part of the KDE SC 4.4(.x) release, so you should update your system to KDE SC 4.4.x, install kimpanel via package manager.

For Kubuntu 9.10 + KDE SC 4.4.x:

sudo apt-get install plasma-widget-kimpanel

right click desktop, choose "add widgets", place the "kimpanel" Plasmoid (likely "Input Method Panel") wherever you prefer.

Arch Linux users please check kimpanel-plasmoid-svn in AUR.

fcitx-dbus

Support for FCITX has been in trunk since r294. Users are encouraged to upgrade.

svn co http://fcitx.googlecode.com/svn/trunk fcitx

cd fcitx

./configure --prefix=/usr && make && sudo make install

Arch Linux users should check fcitx-dbus-svn in AUR. fcitx-svn is okey though.
Kubuntu users should check fcitx-svn.

ibus

Install ibus as usual. Then

For Kubuntu 9.10 + KDE SC 4.4.x:

install kimpanel-backend-ibus

sudo apt-get install plasma-widget-kimpanel-backend-ibus

open systemsettings -> autostart ，add

ibus-daemon --panel=/usr/lib/ibus/ibus-ui-kde

Note

ibus requires ibus-qt or ibus-qt4 to input special characters in KDE/Qt applications. (I doubt it --- there is XIM still.)

If the "kimpanel" Plasmoid is absent, please check $QT_IM_MODULE and set that to ibus.
