*** 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.

|
|
|
|
|
When the input method is active (either by choosing it from the context menu, or

by defining the default language as "*" in immultipress.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)
|
|
|
|
|
{
|
2008-12-10 11:58:37 +00:00
|
|
|
static const Glib::Quark quark ("multipress-passthrough-flag");
|
|
|
|
|
widget.set_data(quark, GINT_TO_POINTER(1));
