For Linux it is easy if your input method can plug into gtk's input method framework or scim (or similar) or is an XIM > I am seeking your advice on the right way to do it so that the patch > is included in the next release thus saving time for my self and users who > will like to to see this feature. No - the right way is not to plug it into OOo, but to plug it into the user's desktop-environment. No per-application solution, but one that works in every application using the framework. > [list of requirements] No need to reinvent the wheel - hook it up into scim/another framework and you'll got all that. > Below are my questions: > > 1.

Again: Don't do it in OOo/only for OOo. ciao Christian --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
