Class IMContextSimple

All Implemented Interfaces:
PointerInterface

public class IMContextSimple extends IMContext
`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.
