3 This is a GTK+ input method which allows text entry via the multi-press method,
4 as on a mobile phone. When this has been installed, you can choose the "Multipress"
5 menu item from the "Input Methods" submenu when right-clicking in a GTK+ text entry
9 - press a to get a, then wait 1 second for the character to be accepted.
11 - press dd to get e, then wait 1 second for the character to be accepted.
13 - press ad to get ad, then wait 1 second for the d character to be accepted.
18 Edit the im-multipress.conf to define the keypresses needed to input particular characters.
19 This file is in GKeyFile-format, and contains explanatory comments.
22 *** Per-widget deactivation
24 When the input method is active (either by choosing it from the context menu, or
25 by defining the default language as "*" in immultipress.c), the multipress
26 behaviour can be turned off for individual widgets, like so:
28 g_object_set_data(G_OBJECT(yourwidget), "multipress-passthrough-flag", GINT_TO_POINTER(1));
31 For a C++ gtkmm project, you could make a convenience function to do this. For instance:
33 void multipress_deactivate(Gtk::Widget& widget)
35 static const Glib::Quark quark ("multipress-passthrough-flag");
36 widget.set_data(quark, GINT_TO_POINTER(1));
