class: IMContextSimple

[30:7] extends: object

Supports compose sequences, dead keys and numeric Unicode input. ## 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). A subset of the file syntax described in the Compose(5) manual page is supported. Additionally, include "%L" loads GTK’s built-in table of compose sequences rather than the locale-specific one from X11. 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 Ctrl-Shift-u, 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.

Methods

• IMContextSimple ()

  Creates a new GtkIMContextSimple.

• toNativeHandle (Source)

  Normalizes a constructor argument into a raw pointer carrier. Accepts a raw NativeHandle, a raw NativeBuffer returned from fn.call(...), another generated wrapper exposing handle(), or null. Returns null when the argument carries no pointer.

  • @p Source is the raw handle, raw buffer, wrapper, or null.
  • @r A raw pointer carrier or null when no pointer is present.

• getLib ()

  Returns the opened native library for this generated wrapper.

  • @r The opened native library.

• handle ()

  Returns the wrapped NativeHandle.

  • @r The wrapped NativeHandle.

• isNull ()

  Returns true when the wrapped handle is null.

  • @r A bool.

• describe ()

  Returns a small string for debugging generated wrappers.

  • @r A string.

• asIMContext ()

  Wraps this handle as IMContext.

  • @r A IMContext object.

• add_compose_file (string compose_file)

  Adds an additional table from the X11 compose file.

  • @p compose_file is The path of compose file.
  • @r None.
