HIME(1) hime input method platform HIME(1)NAME
hime - an input method server
SYNOPSIS
hime [-h|-v|--version]
DESCRIPTION
hime is an input method(IM) server, which focused mainly on Traditional Chinese. It is also very useful for Simplified Chinese, Japanese,
and many other languages. IM table format of hime is almost as same as those of scim and xcin. Users may append their IMs to hime very eas-
ily.
If you are looking for configuration tool of hime, please see the manpage of hime-setup.
OPTIONS -h, -v, --version
Show version of hime.
FILES
/usr/share/hime/table/gtab.list
Input methods available for hime. You may copy it to $HOME/.config/hime/ and edit it as you like. If you have no $HOME/.con-
fig/hime/gtab.list, /usr/share/hime/table/gtab.list will be used.
/usr/share/hime/script/utf8-edit
A file helps hime finding text editors when needed. You may add any UTF-8 compatible text editor to it.

scim -- smart common input method
SYNOPSIS
scim -l
scim [-c config] [-e|-ne engine] [-f frontend] [--no-socket] [-d]
scim -h
DESCRIPTION
Smart common input method (SCIM) is a platform for input methods. Input methods are useful for users who need to input characters that
can't be represented by the keys or key combinations on the keyboard, and it's essential for languages that use ideograms, such as Chinese,
Japanese and Korean (CJK), as their alphabets contain hundreds or thousands of characters.
This is the main program of SCIM platform. It can be used to invoke the input method as well as list available input method modules.
OPTIONS
Most options have both a short version and a long version, and they take the same arguments.
-c | --config module
Use specified Config module.
-d | --daemon
Run as a daemon. The program will exit and leave a daemon in the background if invoked with this option.
-e | --engines module[,module]...
Use specified IMEngine modules. Only the named module(s) will be loaded, separate module names with comma.
-ne | --no-engines module[,module]...
Use all IMEngine modules except specified ones. All modules except the named one(s) will be loaded, separate module names with
comma.
-f | --frontend module
Use specified FrontEnd module.
-h | --help
Show summary of options.
-l | --list
Print the version number and list all the available modules, categorized in three groups -- FrontEnd, Config and IMEngine.
--no-socket
Do not start a socket FrondEnd module.
ENVIRONMENT
XMODIFIERS
Should be set to "@im=SCIM". Note that XMODIFIERS is case sensitive, and scim need uppercase. If you set it to lowercase, there
will be no error message but scim won't work.
GTK_IM_MODULE
GTK+ applications can use many different modules to connect with input methods, and SCIM can work in two different modes to provide
input methods to GTK+ with two different modules. One is XIM mode, using the "xim" GTK IM module from GTK+ itself. The other is
GTK IM mode, using the "scim" GTK IM module provided by SCIM platform. The environment variable GTK_IM_MODULE is used by GTK+ to
specify which GTK IM module the application should use, to use SCIM's two modes, set GTK_IM_MODULE to "xim" or "scim" accordingly.
EXAMPLES
To use scim in XIM mode, execute the following commands in an X terminal (assuming Bourne style shell):
XMODIFIERS="@im=SCIM"
export XMODIFIERS
GTK_IM_MODULE="xim"
export GTK_IM_MODULE
scim -d
<program>
Now you can press Ctrl-space to activate scim in the program you just started from X terminal. To avoid the inconvenience of having to
start the program from X terminal, make sure you set XMODIFIERS and GTK_IM_MODULE before starting your X session.
To use scim in GTK IM mode, just start any GTK+ application, then right click in the application, choose "Input Methods -> SCIM Input
Method" in the pop-up menu, and scim should automatically start. Alternatively, you can use the following commands to set scim as the
default GTK IM module (again assuming Bourne style shell):
GTK_IM_MODULE="scim"
export GTK_IM_MODULE
<gtk-program>
Here scim will also automatically start when you start your GTK+ program. However, it's still a good idea to start scim explicitly even if
you use GTK IM mode, because if only one application is using GTK IM mode, scim will automatically stop when you quit this application.
Then when you start a new application, scim will start again, this can cause quite long delay for application start and quit, giving people
the impression of "everything slows down when using scim".
The following command starts scim in daemon mode, using the simple configure module, Pinyin IM engine module, X11 frontend module:
scim -c simple -e pinyin -f x11 --no-socket -d

SEE ALSO
There is a brief English README giving some introduction and tips about SCIM, in Debian system it's installed in /usr/share/doc/scim/ and
gzipped.
Debian users should also read the NEWS.Debian and README.Debian files in /usr/share/doc/scim/. There are also other README files in the
same directory about using SCIM on a Debian system.
