IIIMF inpinyin: Punctuations

[Ling Li <ling@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I didn't get the URL for testing guide (the archived email of "Testers 
Required for Next Generation Input Method" doesn't have it) so I might 
have done something really naive.

I installed iiimf-server, gtk2, le-inpinyin and packages they required. 
Launch gedit, click to select the "IIIMF" input method. A small box with 
English appears around the bottom of the gedit window. Ctrl-Space 
switches to the Pinyin input. So far so good.

I succeeded in typing some Chinese with this input method. The immediate 
awkward thing I found is the input of punctuations. Typing <space> (or 
any punctuation keys, I guess) without letters (i.e., no pinyin typed) 
put me into an unknown position: Only backspace can get me out. I tried 
to use <Escape>, number keys, but the situation just got more wierd.

It seems that more than two input engines for one locale can be 
installed. For example, le-inpinyin & le-newpy can be installed together 
for simplified Chinese. But I don't know how to pick one of them for gedit.
