*** 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 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) { static const Glib::Quark quark ("multipress-passthrough-flag"); widget.set_data(quark, GINT_TO_POINTER(1)); } *** Contact Please contact Openismus for assistance with this input method.
