Universal Input Method

The Universal Input Method is used in the Unicode/UTF-8 locales to provide complete multlingual input method support. Features of the Universal Input Method are:

• Supports Input Method Switching
  • Pressing the Ctrl key and the left Alt and the letter i simultaneously, presents a menu listing the other available input methods. Selecting an input method from the list remaps the keyboard and loads the given input method, allowing character entry using the loaded input method.

• Supports Point and Click Character Input
  • Pressing the Ctrl key and the left Alt and the letter l simultaneously, presents a menu listing the various categories of characters contained in the Unicode standard. Selecting a character list presents a matrix of the available characters from the list. Clicking on a given character will then send that character through the input method to the application.

  • Pressing the Ctrl key and the left Alt and the letter c returns to the application, or if already in the application, returns to the most recently used character list for point and click character entry.

• Supports the UTF-8 code set.
