IMContextSimple

open class IMContextSimple : IMContext, IMContextSimpleProtocol

GtkIMContextSimple is an input method supporting table-based input methods.

Compose sequences

GtkIMContextSimple reads compose sequences from the first of the following files that is found: ~/.config/gtk-4.0/Compose, ~/.XCompose, /usr/share/X11/locale/$locale/Compose (for locales that have a nontrivial Compose file). The syntax of these files is described in the Compose(5) manual page.

If none of these files is found, GtkIMContextSimple uses a built-in table of compose sequences that is derived from the X11 Compose files.

Note that compose sequences typically start with the Compose_key, which is often not available as a dedicated key on keyboards. Keyboard layouts may map this keysym to other keys, such as the right Control key.

Unicode characters

GtkIMContextSimple also supports numeric entry of Unicode characters by typing <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>-<kbd>Shift</kbd>-<kbd>u</kbd>, followed by a hexadecimal Unicode codepoint.

For example,

Ctrl-Shift-u 1 2 3 Enter

yields U+0123 LATIN SMALL LETTER G WITH CEDILLA, i.e. ģ.

Dead keys

GtkIMContextSimple supports dead keys. For example, typing

dead_acute a

yields U+00E! LATIN SMALL LETTER_A WITH ACUTE, i.e. á. Note that this depends on the keyboard layout including dead keys.

The IMContextSimple type acts as a reference-counted owner of an underlying GtkIMContextSimple instance. It provides the methods that can operate on this data type through IMContextSimpleProtocol conformance. Use IMContextSimple as a strong reference or owner of a GtkIMContextSimple instance.

  • Designated initialiser from the underlying `C` data type.

    This creates an instance without performing an unbalanced retain i.e., ownership is transferred to the IMContextSimple instance.

    Declaration

    Swift

    @inlinable
public init(_ op: UnsafeMutablePointer<GtkIMContextSimple>)

    Parameters

    op

    pointer to the underlying object
    Show on GitHub

  • Designated initialiser from a constant pointer to the underlying C data type. This creates an instance without performing an unbalanced retain i.e., ownership is transferred to the IMContextSimple instance.

    Declaration

    Swift

    @inlinable
public init(_ op: UnsafePointer<GtkIMContextSimple>)

    Parameters

    op

    pointer to the underlying object

override public init!(gpointer op: gpointer?)

    Parameters

    op

    gpointer to the underlying object
