(more details) BackgroundInput Method is used to input some dozens of characters that can't be represented with ASCII characters, with some framework, such as XIM and SCIM via GTK+/Qt immodule. particularly which to handle languages that is a bit complex to do the same thing with the keyboard layout such as XKB. In the past, those frameworks has been applied through the environment variables, such as XMODIFIERS and GTK_IM_MODULE. and can't be influenced immediately and can't be without restarting the desktop because of its nature - it's being inherited from the parent process unless it's being brought up with the obvious thing from the terminal say. Also, there are no such framework to bring up the necessary process at the runtime - of course anyone could runs it manually though, it's totally out of focus on this project. FeaturesProvide the information of Input Method through IMSettings Provide the DBus service to start/stop process of Input Method Provide the way to apply Input Method to applications immediately ScopeIMSettings may helps when: you may want to disable Input Method entirely to use features on any applications, which actually can't use with Input Method because of the key conflicting. you may try another Input Method without closing current desktop session. someone may wants to borrow your desktop temporarily, which uses different Input Method. the appropriate Input Methods needs to be installed by default regardless of you use, such as Live image.
