Description-en: Universal Input Method - metapackage
Uim is an input method module library which supports various scripts and can
act as a front end for a range of input methods, including Anthy, Canna,
PRIME, or SKK (for Japanese), Pinyin (for Chinese), Byeoru (for Korean), and
M17n (for many other languages). Most of its functions are implemented in
Scheme, so it's very simple and flexible.
.
This package is a dummy convenience package designed to install the basic
uim infrastructure. It does not depend on any plugin packages, because
uim is not limited to one input method. Packages are available for
various input methods, including the following:
* Japanese
- uim-anthy: Anthy plugin for uim;
- uim-skk: SKK plugin for uim.
* Chinese
- uim-pinyin: Pinyin input support for uim.
* Korean
