An input method daemon for CJK text entry on X11.
Inspired by 9front's ktrans. Threads communicate via CSP channels.
## Dependencies
- plan9port
- libxcb
## Reference
- plan9port
- gtk+-3.0 (optional, for GTK IM module)
## Build
make
cd xim && make # XIM adapter
cd gtk && make docker && make install # GTK IM module
## Run
./strans map font &
For XIM apps:
./xim/strans-xim &
XMODIFIERS=@im=strans xterm
For GTK apps:
GTK_IM_MODULE=strans gedit
## Usage
Switch input modes with Ctrl + key:
N Hiragana
K Katakana
S Hangul
T English
V Vietnamese (Telex)
E Emoji
Type romanized input. Select candidates with 1-9 or arrow keys.
Tab or Enter to commit.
## Architecture
Four threads communicate via CSP channels:
- [imthread](strans.c#L271): keystroke processing, transliteration
- [dictthread](dict.c#L38): dictionary lookup
- [drawthread](win.c#L133): preedit window rendering
- [srvthread](srv.c#L42): IPC via unix socket
Adapters (strans-xim, im-strans.so) bridge X11/GTK events.
