PROGRAM:
NAME
scim — smart common input method
SYNOPSIS
scim -l
scim [-c config] [-e|-ne engine] [-f frontend] [--no-socket] [-d]
scim -h
DESCRIPTION
Smart common input method (SCIM) is a platform for input methods. Input methods are
useful for users who need to input characters that can't be represented by the keys or key
combinations on the keyboard, and it's essential for languages that use ideograms, such as
Chinese, Japanese and Korean (CJK), as their alphabets contain hundreds or thousands of
characters.
This is the main program of SCIM platform. It can be used to invoke the input method as
well as list available input method modules.
OPTIONS
Most options have both a short version and a long version, and they take the same
arguments.
-c | --config module
Use specified Config module.
-d | --daemon
Run as a daemon. The program will exit and leave a daemon in the background if
invoked with this option.
-e | --engines module[,module]...
Use specified IMEngine modules. Only the named module(s) will be loaded, separate
module names with comma.
-ne | --no-engines module[,module]...
Use all IMEngine modules except specified ones. All modules except the named
one(s) will be loaded, separate module names with comma.
-f | --frontend module
Use specified FrontEnd module.
-h | --help
Show summary of options.
-l | --list
Print the version number and list all the available modules, categorized in three
groups — FrontEnd, Config and IMEngine.
--no-socket
Do not start a socket FrondEnd module.
ENVIRONMENT
XMODIFIERS
Should be set to "@im=SCIM". Note that XMODIFIERS is case sensitive, and scim need
uppercase. If you set it to lowercase, there will be no error message but scim
won't work.
GTK_IM_MODULE
GTK+ applications can use many different modules to connect with input methods, and
SCIM can work in two different modes to provide input methods to GTK+ with two
different modules. One is XIM mode, using the "xim" GTK IM module from GTK+
itself. The other is GTK IM mode, using the "scim" GTK IM module provided by SCIM
platform. The environment variable GTK_IM_MODULE is used by GTK+ to specify which
GTK IM module the application should use, to use SCIM's two modes, set
GTK_IM_MODULE to "xim" or "scim" accordingly.
EXAMPLES
To use scim in XIM mode, execute the following commands in an X terminal (assuming Bourne
style shell):
XMODIFIERS="@im=SCIM"
export XMODIFIERS
GTK_IM_MODULE="xim"
export GTK_IM_MODULE
scim -d
<program>
Now you can press Ctrl-space to activate scim in the program you just started from X
terminal. To avoid the inconvenience of having to start the program from X terminal, make
sure you set XMODIFIERS and GTK_IM_MODULE before starting your X session.
To use scim in GTK IM mode, just start any GTK+ application, then right click in the
application, choose "Input Methods -> SCIM Input Method" in the pop-up menu, and scim
should automatically start. Alternatively, you can use the following commands to set scim
as the default GTK IM module (again assuming Bourne style shell):
GTK_IM_MODULE="scim"
export GTK_IM_MODULE
<gtk-program>
Here scim will also automatically start when you start your GTK+ program. However, it's
still a good idea to start scim explicitly even if you use GTK IM mode, because if only
one application is using GTK IM mode, scim will automatically stop when you quit this
application. Then when you start a new application, scim will start again, this can cause
quite long delay for application start and quit, giving people the impression of
"everything slows down when using scim".
The following command starts scim in daemon mode, using the simple configure module,
Pinyin IM engine module, X11 frontend module:
scim -c simple -e pinyin -f x11 --no-socket -d
