583286 - Support normal mode for the MeeGoTouch VKB

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core Graveyard :: Widget: Qt, defect)

Description

[Steffen Imhof]

Attachment: Patch to add textmode support

The MeegoTouch input method server/VKB not only supports a direct mode, but also a so-called normal mode which is based on input method messages.

The attached patch adds support for this to the MeegoTouch backend. It is currently guarded by an environment variable MOZ_KEYBOARD_INDIRECT which switches to the normal mode if set.

As a side effect the pure Qt backend is getting input method support, too. So that supercedes bug 558686.

it is not clear that this patch is needed yet. It sounds like it is experimental still.

Jeremias, Steffen any update on this bug?

Comment 6

[Steffen Imhof]

IIRC we agreed that this is not needed/wanted currently. I have not heard anything different yet, so no update I'd say.

Comment 7

[Jeremias Bosch (:jbos)]

Yep, we do _not_ support it, it can be considered as wont fix for now. Anyone against this?

Attachment: experimental patch

Please don't *mark* as WONTFIX. I also have an experimental patch now. If nobody won't work and I'll have much time in next alpha cycle, I want to try this for CJKT users.
