Daniel Elstner d5fef5c60f Change input method behavior to act on key presses instead of key
* modules/input/gtkimcontextmultipress.c (vfunc_filter_keypress):
Change input method behavior to act on key presses instead of
key releases, matching normal text input behavior.  This change
alleviates the need to take special action for control keys not
handled by the input module itself.

*** 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));
  }
