*** Introduction
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is a GTK+ input method which allows text entry via the multi-press method,
|
||
|
|
as on a mobile phone. When this has been installed, you can choose the "Multipress"
|
||
|
|
menu item from the "Input Methods" submenu when right-clicking in a GTK+ text entry
|
||
|
|
area.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For instance:
|
||
|
|
- press a to get a, then wait 1 second for the character to be accepted.
|
||
|
|
or
|
||
|
|
- press dd to get e, then wait 1 second for the character to be accepted.
|
||
|
|
or
|
||
|
|
- press ad to get ad, then wait 1 second for the d character to be accepted.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*** Configuration
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Edit the im-multipress.conf to define the keypresses needed to input particular characters.
|
||
|
|
This file is in GKeyFile-format, and contains explanatory comments.

*** Per-widget deactivation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When the input method is active (either by choosing it from the context menu, or
|
||
|
|
by defining the default language as "*" in src/im-multipress.c), the multipress
|
||
|
|
behaviour can be turned off for individual widgets, like so:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
g_object_set_data(G_OBJECT(yourwidget), "multipress-passthrough-flag", GINT_TO_POINTER(1));
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For a C++ gtkmm project, you could make a convenience function to do this. For instance:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
void multipress_deactivate(Gtk::Widget& widget)
|
||
|
|
{
|
||
|
|
g_object_set_data(G_OBJECT(widget.gobj()), "multipress-passthrough-flag", GINT_TO_POINTER(1));
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
