# usually, /etc/X11/xim is used to start a default input method.
# If want to change the default, you have the following options:
#
# 1) Set the variable INPUT_METHOD in /etc/sysconfig/language.
# For example:
# INPUT_METHOD="scim"
# This changes the default for all users
# 2) set and export the variable "INPUT_METHOD" in ~/.i18n in the
# home directory of a user.
# For example:
# export INPUT_METHOD="scim"
# This changes the default only for one user.
#
# The possible values for the variable INPUT_METHOD are the names
# of the scripts which exist in the directory /etc/X11/xim.d/
# for example if a script /etc/X11/xim.d/scim exists,
# and INPUT_METHOD is set to "scim", this script will be tried first
# to start an input method and only if this fails other input methods
# will be tried.
#
# 3) If you don't like the behaviour of any of the available
# scripts in /etc/X11/xim.d, you can write your own script
# containing the necessary lines to start your preferred input
# method and save it as ~/.xim. If a file ~/.xim exists, only
# this file is sourced to start an input method and nothing
# else.
# Usually you need only a few lines, the systemwide
# file to start an input method, /etc/X11/xim, is only so
# complicated because it tries to find a nice default depending
# on the language and the installed input methods.
#
# For example, if you want to use "scim" as your input method,
# it is enough to have the following 5 lines (and nothing else)
# in your ~/.xim file:
# export XMODIFIERS="@im=SCIM"
# export GTK_IM_MODULE=scim
# export QT_IM_SWITCHER=imsw-multi
# export QT_IM_MODULE=scim
# scim -d
