Wondering if there is any IME support in Tk, specifically for Japanese on Linux ?
(preferably for RHEL/CentOS/Fedora)
In the very distant past (Tcl 8.0/8.1), a custom version of Tk supported kinput2. For example, you could bind to a text widget '$w' as follows to show Kanji/Hiragana/Katakana alternatives via kinput2 from 'romaji' text entered on the keyboard :
bind $w <Control-space> {kinput_start %W}
Searching on the internet suggested that there were problems, a while ago, in Tcl/Tk 8.4.x with XIM (X Input Methods) via "tk useinputmethods". Were these problems ever resolved ?
Kinput2 is very old (I believe obsolete). Other IME systems for Linux are now used, for example SCIM, anthy, etc, but I'm not sure how to integrate/collaborate with these through Tcl/Tk ...
Can anyone steer me in the right direction ?
