OpenEmbedded/Yocto BSP layer for inputmethod
=============================================

This layer provides recipes for multilingual input methods used with
OpenEmbedded and/or Yocto.

This layer depends on meta-openembedded, poky, and qt5 layers.

Recipes
-------

### fcitx5 and fcitx5-*

[Fcitx5](https://fcitx-im.org/wiki/Fcitx_5) and its modules.
Mainly for Wayland environment.

* fcitx5: Input method framework
* fcitx5-anthy: Japanese input method
* fcitx5-chewing: Traditional Chinese (Chewing) input method
* fcitx5-chinese-addons: Simplified Chinese (Pinyin and table) input methods
* fcitx5-hangul: Korean (Hangul) input method
* fcitx5-m17n: Multilingual input methods

### fcitx and fcitx-*

[Fcitx4](https://fcitx-im.org/wiki/Fcitx) and its modules.
Mainly for X11 environment.

* fcitx: Input method framework and Chinese (Pinyin and table) input methods
* fcitx-anthy: Japanese input method
* fcitx-chewing: Traditional Chinese (Chewing) input method
* fcitx-hangul: Korean (Hangul) input method
* fcitx-m17n: Multilingual input methods

### ibus and ibus-*

Although we don't yet publish them, we already have these recipes internally.
Please contact us if you need them. We'll ensure to publish them if there are
actual needs.

FYI: On our test, Fcitx was superior to IBus at many points.

### gtk-wayland-textinputv1

Enable text input on GTK applications on Weston.

Quick Start
-----------

### Fcitx5 on Weston

#### How to build

* Clone this layer:
  `git clone git@gitlab.com:clear-code/meta-inputmethod.git `
* Add meta-inputmethod to you bblayers.conf:
  `bitbake-layers add-layer /path/to/meta-inputmethod`
* Add following lines to your local.conf:
```
# Japanese
IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " fcitx5-anthy          source-han-sans-jp-fonts "
# Traditional Chinese
IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " fcitx5-chewing        source-han-sans-tw-fonts "
# Simplified Chinese
IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " fcitx5-chinese-addons source-han-sans-cn-fonts "
# Korean
IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " fcitx5-hangul         source-han-sans-kr-fonts "
# Other launguages
IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " fcitx5-m17n "
# If you need GTK on Weston
IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " gtk-wayland-textinputv1 "
```
* Build: `bitbake core-image-weston`

#### How to run

* Add following lines to your /etc/xdg/weston/weston.ini
```
[input-method]
path=/usr/bin/fcitx5
```
* Add following lines to your /etc/xdg/fcitx5/profile
```

* Run weston

#### How to input on GTK application on Weston

Set a environment variable `GTK_IM_MODULE=wltextinputv1` if you need to use Fcitx5 on GTK applications on Weston:

e.g.)

```
$ GTK_IM_MODULE=wltextinputv1 gtk3-demo
```

#### How to use with applications

Fcitx5 provided by this recipe is confirmed with weston-editor and
chromium-ozone-wayland. It will also work with other applications
that supports
[text-input-v1](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland-protocols/-/blob/master/unstable/text-input/text-input-unstable-v1.xml)
protocol.

GTK applications are supported via gtk-wayland-textinputv1 as described above.

Qt applications aren't confirmed yet.

You can enable input method by `Ctrl + Space` on such applications, and switch
input methods by `Ctrl + Shift`.

If DBus's session bus is enabled, you can switch IMs also by `fcitx5-remote`
command. e.g.) `fcitx5-remote -s anthy`
