I'm trying to configure kinput2 for Japanese text input, but as of yet I've had no success. I have the following lines in my ~/.Xdefaults and have merged them using xrdb: *KinputProtocol.XlcConversionStartKey: Shift<Key>space *ConversionStartKeys: Shift<Key>space *inputMethod: kinput2
I also have the following in my ~/.xsession: [...] export LANG=en_US.UTF-8 export LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 export XMODIFIERS='@im=kinput2' kinput2 -xim -kinput -canna & [...] However, kinput2 fails to trigger in either firefox or gvim. Ideally I'd like it to work with a menu key trigger, but <Key>Menu didn't work any better than Shift<Key>space.
